Chapter 14: You are my queen in my heart
"What are you doing with those things in your ear?" Lee Yeong sat down next to her.
"Oh, I hear some music on my phone. Why are you back so quick? You have to work harder," Yeon Joo said to him.
"so you wanted to starve me to death and overworked The great king," Lee Yeong said to her seriously.
"No, that's not what I meant," Yeon Joo said to him shyly.
"I heard that you don't touch your breakfast also. What is the reason?" King Lee Yeong asked her.
"I never eat breakfast since I was in medical school. I ate lunch and dinner or only big serve of dinner because I was too busy." Yeon Joo explained her bad habit which made Lee Yeong flustered to hear it.
Eunuch Jang brought in a big table full of food for both of them. "Do you always eat like this? Ahhh, how old are you?" Yeon Joo asked him.
"Well, no one ever asks me this question but for the first time, I am 28 years old." Lee Yeong said to her.
"Well, could I call you oppa Lee Yeong or not?" Yeon Joo asked him out of blue.
Eunuch Jang was almost choking to hear Yeon Joo request.
"Suk Bin Mama, it is not polite to speak when the king eats his food," Eunuch Jang tried to stop her from talking. Yeon Joo is a bit sulky to hear all the policy regarding the rules in the palaces.
She eats grumpily but she realizes the food taste delicious. She tries every food in the table but on the King table, he ate only a little bit. Yeon Joo couldn't see the nitpicking food eater.
Yeon Joo mother taught her to eat everything and finished it. She mixed on her rice bowl, the kimchi, green vegetable, meat, a bit of everything on the table and a bit of sauce and mix it up together. She made a spoon and shoved it Lee Yeong mouth.
Eunuch Jang was really surprised to see Yeon Joo actioned until he dropped the chopstick he used to pick the food for the king. "How it is?" Yeon Joo couldn't hold it anymore to speak.
"Ho oh, you are the first one who dares to put use spoon to the king mouth!" Lee Yeong said it to her.
"If you don't like me or my attitude. Promise me to work hard and watch for your queen. I am more than happy to go back home." Yeon Joo said to him.
"what should I do to make you stay by my side? Should I lock you up with the chain?" Lee Yeong said to her.
"don't restrict me with your rule. I don't like to be restricted with the rules as I am not your usual girl or women in this place. Ah, one more thing that it's really important. I don't share my man with another woman. Understand?" Yeon Joo said to him seriously. "It means that both of us needs to compromise. I never touched or had sex with another woman unless someone forced me. You are the only one that stole my dignity on my bed," Lee Yeong answered to her.
"Eunuch Jang, where I can eat pork bbq with wrap," Yeon Joo asked him which make Eunuch Jang confused to answer.
"Sukbin Mama, those food are not allowed in the palace. That is commoner food. There is a famous place in the capital which sells the best pork belly bbq," Eunuch Jang answered honestly.
"How you know the place eunuch Jang?" King Lee Yeong asked him.
"My apologies Jeonha, many eunuchs or I visit the place on our day off," Eunuch Jang answered politely.
"when is your next day of eunuch Jang?" Yeon Joo asked him.
"It is tomorrow if nothing changes with the schedule," eunuch Jang said honestly.
"Let's go to the pork bbq restaurant," Yeon Joo said without take LeeYeong into the accounts.
"both of you, am I invisible? Do you want me to annihilate your whole family?" Lee Yeong said to them.
"Jeonha, I have apologized. Please spare my family life," Eunuch Jang put the chopstick and bowed down to the grounds. Yeon Joo kept ignoring him and ate her food.
There is announcing from outside the chamber. "Jeonha, the Queen Mama is visiting you," the court lady said from outside. Lee Yeong nods to eunuch Jang to let her in and he holds Yeon Joo hands to keep her sit down. Yeon Joo is getting anxious to meet the queen.
The Queen makes a grand entrance to the king chambers. Yeon Joo stood up and gives respect to the Queen. Because Yeon Joo only remembered to respect from the television show and no one ever showed her. The Queen holds back on her harsh word in front of the king for the wrong greeting she did.
"what was an important thing for Queen to disturb my lunch," Lee Yeong said in sarcasm.
"I am apologising for my rudeness. However, I heard that Sukbin Mama is returning to the palace. I would like to meet her." The queen said to him.
"You have to remember. You are the head of internal palace so you don't need to lower yourself to seek her. You just need to summon her to your palace," the king scolded her. She tried to hide her anger reaction but she didn't succeed.
Yeon Joo drinks water from her cup and the king took her glass and drink it from the same glass. The Queen got jealous with the king treatment to Yeon Joo.
"Jeonha, do not forget that you need to attend the selection of your new lady. Tonight, you have to come to my palace," The queen tried to provokes Yeon Joo.
"Why?" king Lee Yeong asked the Queen.
"Tonight is the imperial night ceremonies. This is the only time blessing come down from heaven so the crown prince will become to our kingdom," The Queen explains to him. The king face becomes cold and angry to hear Queen initiatives.
"It's not your plot to bring your whole clan to support you," The king said to her with a stern voice. "Jeonha, I am apologizing for my rudeness. I am simply just want to remind you." The queen said to him.
"go back now." The king said to her to dismiss her. The Queen left them alone inside the king chamber. Her rage inside boiled with anger to see the king treatment into SukBin mama. She clenched her fist outside the king chamber.
