After The queen left the room, Yeon Joo with her pouted facial expression felt dissatisfied.
"She is too much. Where you find that kind of wife? So you need to choose a new wife and spent time with your first wife. I lead a hard life in here to compete with one man attention." Yeon Joo said to him.
"what do you mean? I married her because my mother is part of Choi Clan. The queen father is the head of it," The King explained.
"are you busy this afternoon?" Yeon Joo asked him.
"You hear my queen. I have to choose a new wife in my harem. And then I need to spend time with her. Why?" lee Yeong explained to her.
"Okay, so I will have to sleep by myself tonight? I think I will move out to prince Jong Suk resident." Yeon Joo said to him while eating the dessert.
"Ho-oh... kept that plan far away, you will stay in here. If you don't like it, I won't spend the night with her. You are the first woman that spend the night and live in with me," Lee Yeong said to her.
"I don't share my man. Either you are filial to me or stay away from me!" Yeon Joo said to him because she had a plan in her head.
"You know that you speak with the King of Joseon era. I could behead your head if you defy King rules. if I don't spend the night with other ladies. what would I gain from you?" King Lee Yeong put his face closer to Yeon Joo.
"What do you want?" Yeon Joo kept ate her dessert.
"A prince from you," Lee Young said it without any restrained which made Yeon Joo coughed.
Yeon Joo saved by the knocked on the door by eunuch Jang. Eunuch Jang is advising Lee Yeong for the next meeting for the harem lady.
Lee Yeong reluctant to leave Yeon Joo but he has to be responsible for his people. The King stood up and walk outside the room after holding her hand tightly.
After Lee Yeong left, Yeon Joo summoned her court lady to come in. She checked the work table of Lee Yeong for some stuff.
"My lady, what can I help you?" court lady Min said while bowed to her. She is a lady on her young ages. She is probably on her 20 years old.
"if I want to go out of the palace. How can I do? Prepare my outfit as a commoner," Yeon Joo said to her.
"My lady, you are not allowed to walk out outside the palace. My King would punish me if something happens to you," Court lady min advise her.
"I just need you to tell me how?" Yeon Joo asked her.
"You need a special wooden token issued by the king to pass the gate. And then we need to arrange for a carrier and guard for you. Madame, please think it over." Court lady Min said to her.
"Is this the special token?" Yeon Joo shows her round wooden token with a dragon symbol on it.
"My lady, that is my King token. Is he granted it to you? Shall I arrange an envoy for you?" Court lady Min bowed as soon as Yeon Joo raise the token.
"No need. Shall you bring me a commoner dress and you accompanied me with your normal clothes? Where I can get some money?" Yeon Joo asked her.
"I will ask the treasure department to bring you some." Court lady Min said to her and left the room.
"Please be discreet for this trip." Yeon Joo told her. She nods and left the room.
It won't take long for court lady Min to come back to the King Chamber. She brought a set of clothes for Yeon Joo and court lady Min already changed to different clothes. There was another lady to bring her a pouch and mun* next to it on the tray.
Yeon Joo brought the pouch and put it into the dress pocket. She followed court lady Min who escorted her to the outer gate of the palaces.
'O.M.G. it is a huge place to walk. I have to compare it when I am back in the future.' Bella thought to herself.
Finally, they arrive into the outer gate of the palace when the eunuch and palace guard checked everyone and everything. They are asking about the token and Yeon Joo flashed it to the guard and eunuch when they start to bow down with the token.
"Are we clear Court lady Min?" Bella asked her when she nodded and kept walking outside.
In front of the gate, there is a lot of carriage park due to the event of new consort searching. Bella smirk happily to walk outside the palace to see the new girl walked out from their carrier.
'Oh Lord, is Lee Yeong a paedophile? They are looking like a teenager,' Bella think inside her head when she saw the lady walking out from the palanquin with their lady in waiting.
"My lady, is something wrong?" Court lady Min asked her which bring her to reality.
Yeon Joo walked to catch her up. She holds her hand to walk together which got refused by Court Lady Min.
"How old is all the new lady that will become the new consort for the king?" Yeon Joo tried to catch Court Lady Min walking paces.
"Mostly, they were between aged 14 to 15 years old to be presented as King Ladies. they were prepared from young ages my lady," Court lady Min explained to Yeon Joo.
The capital city is bustling busy. She was amazed to see the market and the ancient time of transaction. Court Lady Min took her to stroll around the capital city to see the scenery. It was almost in the evening after they finished to watch the street performance. Yeon Joo was felt hungry and thirsty.
Lee Yeong couldn't concentrate on the consort choosing events. He lets the queen continued and left the queen hall to go back to his chamber. The King entered his chamber to find it empty. He became furious and started to call the guard to find out his beloved consort.

Bab 16: The common Fight
"Court Lady Min, let's have meat BBQ. Eunuch Jang told me this famous BBQ place," Yeon Joo asked her.
"Arghhh... I know it, My lady. That place is heaven on earth. Follow me," Court lady Min told her in a more casual way. She gots used and knew her better after spending the whole day with her.
They arrive at this open space dining with full of people. They serve Pork belly BBQ with lettuce and soju. They manage to get a table and Court Lady Min ordered the food after she let her lady sit down.
"Get some soju also," Yeon Joo screamed to her from far away.
The soju come first when she started to pour it to her and lady Min cup. Lady Min tried to refuse it but Yeon Joo was pushing it into her. They managed to finish the third bottles with their food.
Lee Yeong arrived in the food shop with Seon Yeo and Eunuch Jang. He found his beloved lover sits in one of the tables inside drinks and attracting another group of man. The group of man were tailing them started from the tea house. The leader Mae da Young was attracted to Yeon Joo.
The group of men are approaching their table to join them. Lee Yeong approached the table as soon as possible with two of his subordinates follows them from behind.
Yeon Joo ignored Mae Da Young persuasion and it made them angry. Lee Yeong showed up and tap them in the shoulder.
"Why you are disturbing my wife?" Lee Yeong gives them his aloof look and Seon Yeo was hold his sword ready.
"Leave outsider... A Husband won't let his wife drunk outside by herself. You don't need to interfere us," One of the guys started to push him back.
It was from the appearance of his outfit that he was from the upper noble class man. Apparently, they followed Yeon Jon and Court Lady Min since the tea house. It was uncommon for a noble class man to sit and ate in street stall.
Lee Yeong couldn't hold his anger and started to punch him until he has fallen back on the dirt. Yeon Joo didn't care with the commotion. She kept ate and drunk her wine.
The Guys started to push back and retaliated back to Lee Young and Seon Yeo. The food stall become ruin with their fight. Lee Yeong and Seon Yeo were the best war general and their fighting skill was the best in Joseon. They fought them without their sword and the other party got beaten up pretty badly.
However, Mae Da Young took out their small dagger and slit to Lee Yeong arm. Seon Yeo almost slit his neck before the Podojangs (Joseon Police force) came and seize them.
They all got drag to Podocheong office in the Capital city. There was some interesting fact that Lee Yeong and Seon Yeo treated as a criminal while the other group were treated like noble people. It turned out that he was from the North clan. The other people inside the cell whispered them rumours that he was the guy who warm the Queen bed. He is the main candidate to run the north clan with Queen behind the screen. Lately, the King went hiatus and crazy in his chamber and Queen tried to build her secret army with this guy as her puppet.
The guy names Mae da Young, the son of the advisor of the Queen father. Lee Yeong never seen him around inside the palace or around the Queen during the party involved Queen's North Clan.
"Seon Yeo, we need to investigate this. I wanted all the report on their forces tomorrow morning," Lee Yeong instructed to Seon Yeo.
"Yes, Jeon ha. However, the most important thing now is to get out from here. My Image ruined as the great Joseon army general got detained inside Podocheong cell look like a criminal," Seon Yeo complaint to his king and best friend.
Lee Yeong found out that the government office already corrupted under the rules of the North clan. He understood that he was wrong for ransacked the public space but it had to be the same treatment with the noble and commoner.
"I am the king yet I stayed in this cell-like a criminal. Stopped your whined," Lee Yeong looked around the office and analyzed everything. He needs to take his authority back in this capital city and his Queen tried to build her armies to become the queen ruling as Suk Bin mentioned to him. He needs to rearrange his cabinet and cleaned up secretly.
The officer released Mae Da Young with his cronies from any charges. They took Lee Yeong and Seon Yeo liable for all the crime. Lee Yeong was really angry to see the biased treatment. It just he needs to keep his identity secret. otherwise, he would behead all of them for their corruption act. He paced back and forth around the crowded cell to ease his anger.
The owner of the food stall was angry and cried for her business ruined by the fight. Yeon Joo asked Eunuch Jang to give the owner a good amount of money in exchanged of the King mischievous act.
"Suk Bin mama, how we could free Jeon Ha? He got detained and we couldn't reveal his identity otherwise he would become the laughing stock of the country," Eunuch Jang whined to Yeon Joo.
"take me to the office where he got detained. We would release my partner," Yeon Joo asked him to lead the way.
"Suk Bin mama, Jeon Ha is your legal husband as you got the title," Eunuch Jang advised her.
"Quickly... do you want me to bail him out or not?" Yeon Joo feels annoyed.
"Followed me Suk Bin mama," Eunuch Jang led the way.
