Princess Hours (궁)

Episode 3

This Eun-young palace from right now. It was 140 years ago,

in 1866 when myung-suh received training.

This place has a deep meaning.

I congratulate you, Shin Chaegyung to be able to receive training here.

What?

Put it on the side.

Shin Chaegyung, these are the materials you need to study.

What? All of that?

To eat is to eat (for.).

To cry is to cry (for.).

To gargle is to gargle (for.).

To wash face is to wash face (for.).

To be sick is to be sick (for.)

Why are they making everything complicated by saying it differently?

They should just say it as how it is written.

I'm going crazy! How am I going to memorize all of this?

The Queen has arrived!

Where can I possibly start to teach this girl?

I'm sorry, your Highness.

I told the students to take care of her.

Please wake up.

You have to wake up.

Stop it.

- Please wake up. - Please wake up.

Mom, I just want to sleep a little more.

- You have to wake up. - Just leave her alone.

She must be tired.

She probably didn't get any sleep.

Nothing must go wrong with the wedding etiquette,

so that the Bride fetching ceremony can go on smoothly.

She makes a lot of mistakes so train her well to be a Princess.

Yes, your Highness.

And furthermore, let her realize that the palace rules are extremely strict.

Yes, your Highness.

the things she did right and the things she did wrong

during her training time.

I have high expectations of your skill of doing this during this time of training.

Yes, your Highness.

Where did she go?

Did you happen to see the Princess-to-be?

Where did she go?

We're in trouble! We're going to get scolded for this.

What do we do? If we get caught by Sang Gung Mama.

We're dead. I can't believe this!

What are you two doing?

You immature fools!

The thing is..

I told you take care of her.

But look at what happened!

Do you think the palace is your playground?

We're sorry.

That's not it, Sang Gung Mama.

It wasn't their fault, it was my fault.

No, none of it is your fault.

Who is she? She is going to be our future Princess.

Are you going to mess up again?

No, it won't happen again.

It won't happen again.

- umm.. - Be quiet!

I will protect your faults for now.

The Dae Rae Bok to be worn on the Bride fetching ceremony is ready.

Please go now.

Dae rae bok? What is that?

You'll know when you get there. Hurry.

Please go now.

I ask you how are you nowadays?

When the sun shines through the windows, I yearn for you.

Even in my dreams I want to meet you,

If I could just see your footsteps forever.

The stone path in front of the door has turned into sand.

Suh Sang Gong, is there any news from Hye jung?

She's still finishing up some business in England so she hasn't left yet.

Tomorrow the imperial household is holding a big ceremony.

Wouldn't it be great if the whole family could be here?

Hye jung doesn't think its time for that to come yet.

Suddenly separated from her husband by death, it was have been very traumatizing for her.

She was to become Queen but was kicked out of the palace because of the imperial law.

She must have so much pain and hurt in her heart.

Yes, your Highness.

When Majesty Hye jung thinks of Majesty Isang,

She heartbreakingly longs for you.

By the way suh sang gong, weren't you the nanny of both Prince Hyo Ryul and Prince Hwi Sung?

Yes.

If things had gone according to those pictures..

Crown Prince, Hyo Ryul would have already taken the position..

Both mother and son would be sitting on Queen's and Crown Prince's position as well.

There's no use talking about the past.

It's all useless now.

Since there's a big ceremony tomorrow, I told you to rest today.

Since I was stubborn and it came out to this.

Okay I will listen to you, my wife.

Fortunately, you look a lot better.

Since I'm taking this medicine, how can there not be good results?

But you have to still be careful.

There's no such dangerous illness such as this one.

Okay.

I'll be very careful so stop worrying about me.

How's the training going for the Princess-to-be?

She is receiving her training, but...

she can't grasp the basics so it is very hard to train her.

I'm worried about tomorrow's ceremony,

but I'm also worried how we will train her from now on.

Don't think of her as someone inferior and let's just train her at a slow pace.

This isn't a situation where we can allow room with that thinking, your Majesty.

We had a lot of problems training our son.

And look at our son's behavior.

So therefore,

I'm going to make sure there is consistency for the Princess' training.

If you force the training on a child who grew up outside of the palace too hard,

wouldn't the situation at the palace be hard for her?

The situation with the Princess is my job.

Concerning the Princess' training, you have to leave it up to me.

You've worked hard on the training.

Well, they've worked harder than me. Is class is over now?

Yes. The training that was prepared for you is finished.

Starting from now, you'll recite everything you learned at training.

What?

First off, explain the etiquette for tomorrow's ceremony.

Everything?

Yes. Everything.

First, the King will confers rank and title of the Prince's legal wife.

Then I come to the eun-young palace, then I receive the confer.. of...

- Confers of rank.. confers of rank.. - Confers of rank?

This isn't working. Roll up your sleeves.

What?

I gave orders that there shouldn't be any mistakes.

What are you doing? Roll up your sleeves now!

How dare you disregard the Palace's laws and regulations?

Are you now trying to discredit the Royal family's name?

Wait a minute, I think I remember now.

Oh, that's right.

After the confers of the Crown Princess ends, I've to accept the title of the Prince's legal wife.

And then, the King will bestow the ceremonial wine to the Crown Prince,

Before the Bride fetching ceremony starts and lecture him on the Ancestors sayings.

After that, it's the Bride fetching ceremony.

the Crown Prince will then come to the Eun-young palace from the Bae palace.

After the exchanges of the Pigeon ceremony ends, he'll be taking the Crown Princess back to his palace.

Then, we'll accept the blessings of the people as we ride through the streets.

After returning at the palace, the Prince and Princess will go through the Tong Ne ceremony.

And it means the ceremony of the first night together, after they eat and drink the ceremonial wine and food.

And then the whole wedding ceremony will end here.

You did very well.

During that time I practiced a lot.

What? Jo-la? What does that mean?

It means a lot.

Before you said it was cold, how does it feel now?

I'm comfortable.

How did you like the new medicine. Does it fit your to your taste well?

Yes, it does.

Then, I will go.

Your Majesty and Yi Sung Goon.

Both of you rest well.

Are you comfortable? Do you feel at ease?

No, I'm totally uncomfortable.

Let's go.

Where?

To visit Chaegyung at the Eun-young palace.

Let's go together. You said that she's in the same class as you are.

No, I don't want to go.

If a pretty boy comes, she'll like it.

Go by yourself.

Since she must be tired after all that training.

She'll like it if your buy her some chocolates or candies for her.

Do I have to buy stuff like that for her?

Shouldn't she be honored that I'm at least visiting her?

You're going there to comfort her.

Since she's a girl, she'll like stuff like that.

It's such a nuisance.

But, you know Chaegyung, since she's a Princess now,

she wouldn't pretend to not know us, right?

Well, if it was me, I wouldn't want to be around my friend .

Hey! If you make it like that, do you think you'll be able to see it on the streets?

That's why we prepared something.

We are the Princess' friends, Jisu-Sesu.

I'm Jisu.

I'm Sesu.

We are Jisu and Sesu.

I'm speechless.

They said no one could come in here.

Am I anybody?

I just thought I had to see what you looked like before we got married.

Yul sent it.

You know Yul right? He's in your class.

Yul?

Who's Yul?

He said girls like that kind of stuff.

Since its obvious that you can't eat stuff like that here.

He said if I gave it to you that you'll like it so he packed it for you.

You weren't here crying because you wanted to see you parents, right?

What is it?

No, it's nothing.

To be honest, there is one condition for you for marrying me.

I asked for our quarters to be in chang-dok palace.

Then your quarters will be far away from the elders.

And we'll receive less scrutiny from the elders.

So, about once a month you can visit your parents without the elders knowing.

And what else was there..

You can invite your friends to the palace for a party.

Oh, this is good.
