EPISODE 2

How about this cloth?

This is premium silk imported from Yeongyeong, and there are only three pieces.

This fabric sparkles like a rainbow under the sun.

Is it true?

Let me see.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Is the new edition Chun Hwa Love Story out yet?

I am not sure.

There's no word yet on a sequel.

I heard that Princess Chun Hwa's character...

...is inspired by Princess Hwa Ri.

That seems to be true.

The Princess chose to be alone because of heartbreak,

so there is no continuation of the story.

That is true.

Actually, I feel sorry for the Princess.

I heard she tried to run away from the palace and invited her lover to join her.

But her invitation was rejected.

She even locked herself up for a month.

she must have been devastated.

And then, the lover found another bride

who is a young 14 year old girl.

- What? - He is in a hurry to find a wife

so that he can avoid the Princess.

Is that so?

So they don't love each other?

Princess's love is unrequited?

We don't know for sure.

Poor her.

It seems that you are very worried about me.

- Princess. - Princess.

If you are curious and worried, ask me directly.

This erotica will not give you the answer.

What's this?

She does not do me justice! So ugly!

Continue reading.

Bring all the clothes here!

I will try everything.

Good.

The most useless thing in the world is worrying about the Princess.

Her mind is as strong as steel.

Now, make me become the most beautiful woman in the country.

Goodness.

You are already the most beautifuul.

How could I possibly make you more beautiful?

I plan on properly ending things.

Surely you aren't...

...going to go to his house?

Yes, I am.

I'm the one who has to end it.

He should know what he is going to lose.

Okay, I understand.

Your hands are like that of a woman who never works hard.

You are good at drawing with those hands.

I am drawing this because I get paid a lot.

But is this useful for our business?

Regardless,

girls and mothers believe...

...that they will look like a princess...

...if they wear clothes worn by Princess Hwa Ri.

They will realize that's not true after looking in the mirror.

Clothes can make people look different.

- That's true. - They will look...

...more beautiful than usual.

The Princess's aura is very charming today.

Doesn't she look like a general going to war?

Park Chae Jun is getting married today.

Park Chae Jun, who is the princess' lover, right?

Does she want to cause a commotion at his house?

What's on your mind?

It is nothing.

I'm just happy to be able to sit down with my aunt after so long.

Your belly has gotten much bigger.

Aren't you tired?

Not at all.

All women experience it.

Are you okay?

I heard he got married today.

I can't be okay.

I thought...

...I would be the one to accompanying him at the altar.

Father will soon choose my future husband.

However,

I'm not sure I can be happy with a husband chosen by the elders.

I will have to spend my entire life with my husband

Can the man they choose...

...love me?

This is my wedding.

I wish I could choose my own husband.

Marrying a man of equal standing is not always bad.

Marriage is not just between two people.

Everyone is born and raised in different environments.

If you have similar backgrounds,

will it not be easier to adapt to your husband's family?

- Is that so? - Of course.

Besides that,

what man can't love a girl as beautiful as you?

You say that because you're my aunt.

Don't worry.

I'm sure you'll get a good husband.

Has Princess Hwa Ri returned safely?

Your Majesty was aware of her escape?

I feel sorry towards your brother.

But I am angry at him.

His son hurt our daughter's feelings.

She insisted on wanting to give him wedding gifts.

Therefore, I let her go.

But she didn't go there after all. She only sent the gifts.

Then she went to Hyo Jin's house.

She has been close to her aunt since childhood.

Maybe this problem is too tough for the princess.

She wanted to stay at Hyo Jin's house for a while.

Of course, I had to allow it.

She will definitely get through this.

She will realize that this forbidden love of hers...

...is an insignificant issue in her life.

Will he hit to the right...

...or the left?

Do you think...

...you can get a hole-in-one?

- Do you... - Move away.

You're distracting me.

Don't mind me.

I'm talking to myself.

Yes!

Hooray!

I win!

Look, Ji Won!

Your future husband won!

Ji Won!

Look here, Ji Won!

Even peacocks are not as noisy as him.

Excuse me.

He is indeed insensitive and always blunt about his feelings.

That's Prince Hwa Seong's strength.

Not many people in the palace are honest like him.

That's a strength?

I have always felt embarassed because of that.

Of course, it is a strength.

It means he has nothing to hide.

Looks like he wants to show off in front of his future wife.

If I keep playing with him, I will be the one humilated.

You have shown your greatness to your wife many times already.

Miss Ji Won is not easily impressed.

So, I have to collect brownie points...

...so that I can hold her hand.

Goodness!

Where are you running to?

- Stop. - I'm already yours.

Do not leave me.

- Does he like her that much? - Ji Won!

Tell me about it.

Even though he is my brother, sometimes...

...he makes me feel embarrassed.

He make me laugh.

I used to feel anxious often.

Don't go just yet.

The sun hasn't set yet.

Your behavior embarrasses me. I don't want to be near you.

Why should you be ashamed?

I'm already yours...

...and you...

You! Don't talk about that!

What if someone hears?

I want everyone in the world to hear it.

I am yours...

...and you are mine.

So...

Since that incident, you never-

That's why,

I'm afraid you regret what happened.

Come closer for a moment.

I want to say something.

Tomorrow I want to visit the library of the Royal Academic Institute.

Please pick me up in the morning.

Let's go.

Wait. Stop right there!

Are they happy doing it in a carriage?

They do!

They're too loud!

The Princess has arrived.

Father. Mother.

There's something I want to say.

Don't.

Do you evem know what I want to talk about?

I know it isn't good news.

Therefore, I do not want to hear it.

Father, you have to hear it.

This is about my life.

Enough!

Let's hear what what she wants to say.

Oh goodness.

I will get married.

- Really? - Are you really serious?

Yes. Even though I keep refusing,

Father will still force me to get married anyway, right?

- Correct. - So, I am willing to get married.

Good. You made the right decision.

It feels like all of my worries disappeared instantly.

- But. - What?

Let me choose my future husband myself.

What did you say?

Did you see that?

You're seeing this, right?

I had expected this.

That's why I didn't want to listen.

Your request is very unreasonable.

Marriage is a sacred ritual.

How could a princess dare to choose a future son-in-law for the king?

It's not in the laws of this country.

Forget it. It's not going to happen.

Father.

I said no!

That will never happen. Don't talk about it anymore.

Hey.

You have decided to get married. Just follow your father's wishes.

He will look for a good partner for you.

- Father, you won't be the one living with him! - This kid!

The person wil be married to me. I will be the one staying with him for life.

Of course I have the right to make the choice.

What you're saying is too...

My goodness.

We understand. Leave for now.

Oh my, my my.

Why is she like this?

We raised her without any shortcomings.

How can a girl dare to choose her own partner?

Does it make sense?

She’s like that because she’s like you.

I was never like that.

I always obey the rules and act as an example to others.

You know that.

Did you forget?

Your highness, too, ignored Kim Sook Bin who had been chosen as your future wife,

and you married me instead.

Just pretend to lsiten to The Princess' wishes.

After all, the final candidates for Princess's husband have been determined.

Show her the final candidates before the official annuncement.

Follow the official procedure, and then finally announce the marriage.

In that way, we can maintain our dignity and the Princess's pride.

You're right, but...

...do I really need to involve the Princess in the last selection round?

It's never been done before.

I've already have an idea.

Princess.

Her Majesty the Queen will be here soon.

You haven't been eating enough lately,

So I made your favorite honey cookies .

Thank you.

When you said you want to choose your own husband,

I thought you were back to being your normal self.

But why do you look so gloomy?

That's because...

When I sit still and ruminate,

I feel scared about marrying a man I do not know.

To be honest,

I don't want to get married yet.

Honestly,

I don't understand my feelings.

Sometimes I'm sad,

and sometimes cheerful.

I want to be happy again,

but I don't know how.

You've tried your best.

It must not be easy to calm your heart.

But you chose to move forward instead of just keeping quiet.

That makes me proud.

Your father...

...worries about making you choose your husband at a formal event,

but he gives you the permission to give your vote before the main event.

- Is that true? - Yes.

I have invited the families of the possible candidates to a tea party...

...so you can meet them first and choose the right one.

Meet them and choose the one that suits you best.

Will anyone want to be my husband?

Being the King's son-in-law is not easy.

Princess Hwa Ri.

You are a princess.

A princess does not need to depend on and follow other people's wishes.

Even though it is difficult,

make a decision that suits your position as the Princess,

and take responsibility for that decision.

You just need to choose the best,

and take responsibility for your choice.

Isn't that why...

...you asked for your Father's permission to choose in the first place?

I don't know what to do.

All who received tea party invitation from the Queen...

...are candidates for the King's son-in-law.

It has been disguised as a tea party.

It's clear that it's an election event for the King's future son-in-law.

I wouldn't mind if this event was for the Concubine-born Princess Hwa Jin,

but it turns out to be for the notoriously strange Princess Hwa Ri.

I don't want to think about it.

I can't possibly refuse an invitation from the Queen.

But if we go, then someone has to be chosen to be the Princess' husband?

We need to arrange sons' weddings before...

...the marriage ban is implemented for the selection of the Royal son-in-law.

There are many things to worry about.

Since the Princess' brother was exiled,

she lives her life as if nothing exists, as if nothing matters.

But as a result, her true personality is revealed.

There is a saying that says that humans don't really change.

Oh...

When will the tea party be held?

In one week.

Even though she is very loved by His Majesty,

The empress who came from from an ordinary family,

does not fully understand the manners of noble women.

For noble ladies, they have their own society.

HALL

Thankfully, the weather is sunny today.

Won't the guests feel burdened?

They might feel awkward if they learn that this is my husband-selection event.

Since there is no official order yet,

this will only be considered as a regular tea party.

Don't feel pressured,

meet them calmly and comfortably, okay?

Your Honour.

The guests started arriving one by one.

Okay.

Why are they going that way,

even though the tea party is here?

I'll find out.

Can you heat the tea again?

Let's get up, Mother.

Looks like no one is coming.

Your Honour.

It seems that the wives and guests who were invited to the tea party,

are with Ms. Sook Bin.

What?

I have clearly asked they to come to my party.

Did they not accept my invitation?

It is not like that.

Mrs. Kim Sook Bin,

organized a charity market to help people having food shortages.

They apologized because they couldn't come to the party.

They said that a tea party can be arranged any time, but

they have the opportunity to help the poor only today.

I heard you invited the wives of the officials to a tea party?

Correct.

Because you invited them directly,

they can't refuse even if they have other plans.

Is their particpation a direct order from Your Highness the Queen?

This is not an order.

So their particpation is not mandatory, yes?

Correct.

I just invited them to have tea and have a chat.

So there is no need to feel burdened.

Oh, I see.

Okay.

Sorry, Mother.

- It's because of me. - No.

A charity market could have been organized at another time,

but with Sook Bin holding the market at the same time as my tea party,

Makes it seem as if I lack in kindness.

Is this the right place for the tea party?

Is there any fun entertainment here?

This should be enough to return the favor.

Why is he here?

Wait a minute, Mother.

Come, see me for a moment.

Come out, come out quickly.

Why did you come here?

What?

I already repaid you with valuable jewelry that night

Is that still not enough?

You came here all the way to threaten me?

Ah.

sighs.

You must have already pawned the jewelry away.

just look at your luxurious appearance.

Do I look luxurious?

I am getting blinded by your gold-threaded clothing.

That means I succeeded. My efforts were not in vain.

How much?

How much should I pay so that you keep your mouth shut?

If you think,

you can take the money and secretly report to His Majesty,

you won't get out from here alive.

I...

...am the princess of this country.

I'm scared.

Forget about the money.

If Your Majesty The Princess considers me as a candidate for your future husband,

I will keep my mouth shut.

W-what?

scoffs

You want to take advantage of my weakness and become my husband?

What is your weakness?

That night,

when you tried to run away,

It felt like I saw you as a princess for the first time.

Shut up!

It seems like you have misunderstood me.

Let me formally introduce myself.

I was invited to the tea party by the Empress.

My name,

Choi Hwan.

Choi Hwan?

The famous player in Doseong, who regularly visits the brothel?

- That Choi Hwan? - Correct.

The Choi Hwan who has more money,

- than the kings of this country. That Choi Hwan? - Correct.

I am the owner of Cheongwoon Gisaeng House,

and the ship to Yanjing is also mine.

Choi Hwan is still unmarried?

Yes, correct.

I heard, this event is actually for choosing a husband for the Princess under the guise of a tea party,

but it seems like I'm the only one who came?

The tea party was cancelled.

Now, please leave.

No way!

I came all the way dressed up in this gold-threaded outfit

I should be compensated for all the effort.

Plus, I'm grateful that my competitors withdrew voluntarily.

Since I'm the only candidate, will I be chosen as the final choice?

Go away, I'm not in the mood to joke around.

Even if you don't mean it,

what is lacking for Doseong merchant and a player?

I'm not joking either.

I don't consider the position of the Princess' husband as a joke.

This is not your fault.

They don't know yet how valuable you are.

Competimg people for something worthless is not fun.

How about we make an agreement today?

Agreement?

I coincidentally heard that Ms. Sook Bin

opened a charity market that coincided with the Empress's tea party.

So?

Using money to create problems,

That's Choi Hwan's speciality.

How did Mrs. Sook Bin think about something amazing like this?

We sell unused items.

and provide assistance for people in need?

There are many people facing a food shortage right now.

I was wondering about what I could do.

Thank you, all of you noble wives who have supported me.

Of course, we must help when it comes to good deeds.

But why does the timing coincide? with the Empress' tea party?

The Empress shouldn't hate us for not coming.

No need to worry, this is for the people.

After all, the Empress herself said that it was not mandatory and that there is no coercion.

Please don't worry.

By the way, since everyone is here,

I wonder how many people attended the tea party

There was one person who went, Choi Hwan.

Choi Hwan?

That player?

Why did he go there?

Who knows.

Maybe the position of the royal son-in-law is the only thing he doesn't have yet.

How is it possible a lowly businessman like him,

comes from a family with long history in public service?

Please buy it.

Did Lee Jae Sang's family not come?

They couldn't come because the wedding of the bride and groom is getting closer.

They should have at least sent Mr. Jang Won.

This...

Is this item for sale?

Yes.

I used this a lot when I was little.

It is a valuable item because it was used for a good purpose.

Oh, I see.

- His hands. - What's that?

If so, I will pay more.

I would be very grateful if you did that.

I think my sister will like it.

Do you want to give it to your sister?

Yes.

You are very considerate.

Oh, no, no.

In my house, there are many things I used as a kid.

I'm so sorry I don't have them with me.

They would be perfect for kids.

Is it true?

If so, could I please visit your house with my sister?

Of course.

Anytime.

The Princess has arrived.

- Princess? - Princess?

I came to see Mrs. Sook Bin.

Why did the Princess come with that man?

Who?

Choi Hwan.

Oh, he's the one from the gisaeng house.

He's handsome too, huh.

Stop looking at him.

I heard the Empress is having a tea party.

Why are you here?

I heard you opened a charity market for people who do not have food.

I came to join in this good activity.

A lot has been collected thanks to the help of many people.

You don't need to participate.

No.

We should do good deeds together.

Incidentally, there is a trader who has the same goal of wanting to help.

Is that so?

Incidentally, I have abundantly excess seeds from the last harvest,

so I wanted to use those to be of assistance.

- Come here. - Okay.

Did you spend a lot of money?

This is nothing.

How much money does he have?

He is handsome and rich.

Please share all donations to the people, in the name of the Empress.

- What? - If it wasn't for the Empress' tea party,

I wouldn't have known about this charity market at the palace.

So all these donations

are therefore a donation under the Empress' name, right?

Correct.

Look.

All these donations must be given to the people in the name of the Empress.

Do you understand?

- Yes. - Yes.

With the collective help of Mrs Sook Bin and the Empress,

we can save more than a thousand islands.

I've never felt this happy.

I thank you too.

Alright.

HALL Your name is Choi Hwan, right?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I appreciate your good intentions. and want to give you a gift.

What do you want?

Forgive me.

That was a sudden question.

You followed Princess Hwa Ri's wishes and provided assistance.

Do you want to be the Princess' husband?

No, Father!

Hey, I didn't ask you.

He just has a lot of money.

He just wanted to use it for the benefit of the people.

Did I say that?

Yes, you did.

It's as the Princess said.

Yes, just tell me if there is anything that you want.

Could you...

...Could you please assist me when I will need your help one day?

Alright.

I will help you with your request anytime.

Thank you very much, Your Majesty.

Calm down, ma'am.

This ceremony will be a success if you stay calm.

I know.

I know, but

the more I try to stay calm, the more I can't.

Your Honour.

It's time to go to the Crown Princess' chambers.

Is today that day?

Yes.

You must hurry, Your Majesty.

Today, you must carry out your duties.

Okay.

I was ordered to pick up the Princess.

Alright.

Please come this way.

First of all, how about we make a deal?

What is the deal about?

Consider me as a candidate for your future husband.

Considering is not the hard part, but

Do you really want to be my husband?

Yes.

Why? For what reason?

Because...

...I am fascinated by you.

After everything is done today, could you spare some time for me?

[FAMILY RESILIENCE...]

Isn't this the brothel?

Sir is waiting inside, Princess.

Anyone here?

Anyone? Hello?

Is no one here?

What is this? It's so scary.

Thank you for coming.

I've tried my best to decorate the place.

What do you think?

It's okay.

I'm fine.

Ouch!

Are you okay?

No nosebleed?

I'm fine.

The Princess who planned to run away with her lover,

is this your first time falling into a man's arms?

That's none of your business.

This is my first time.

This is my first time trying so hard...

...to win a woman's heart.

Usually, showing off my wealth is good enough.

Must be nice. But wealth won't be enough...

...to make you the king's son-in-law.

Then, how about we try using the power of alcohol?

On my way here, I was thinking about something.

Everyone is afraid of being the king's son-in-law.

Why are you so keen on becoming my husband?

I am fascinated by you.

A man who is fascinated with a woman,

would not look at her with such an expression.

Do not say such things, even as a joke.

I am not drawn to you because you are a woman...

I am drawn to you because of the kind of person you are.

You bet on your brother's virginity,

Tried to elope with your lover.

You even demanded to choose your own husband.

That's why I am intrigued by you.

What does the world look like to you?

Will I see things differently when I'm by your side?

I felt such curiousity and excitement after a long time.

You will be disappointed.

As for me...

..I am too naive.

Even after losing such a meaningful relationship,

I am not trying to find the King's son-in-law, but a lover.

As a princess, I should be looking for a suitable future husband, but

I...

I, Hwa Ri...

...still dream foolosh, childish dreams

If I wasn't a princess,

Would you still want to become the king's son-in-law?

No.

I like you because you are a princess.

You were born a princess,

You were brought up with all the luxury in the palace for 18 year.

Hwa Ri is a princess.

How can you be Hwa Ri, if you aren't a princess?

- But... - ...you shouldn't worry about such things.

The others might avoid you because they're afraid of you.

Or they might feel burdoned by the position of the King's son-in-law

But that's about it.

I like you because you are a princess.

I like you because you are beautiful.

I also like you because being with you will elevate my status.

Such people are called materialistic.

Is that so?

Well, I think of myself as an honest person.

If you put it like that, I guess I have to agree.

So please stay a princess, okay?

His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived.

Welcome.

I'm not late, am I?

You came just in time.

Hey, you materialistic person.

Since you claim to be very honest,

I want to ask you one thing.

What do you think of me,

the Princess Hwa Ri?

How honest should I be?

Answer with complete honesty without the slightest lies.

I would greatly appreciate that.

If you weren't a princess,

I would have held you in my arms right now.

I want to hug you tightly,

kiss you on your beautiful lips.

Tell you that everything is fine,

tell you that you're beautiful.

I would ask you to look at me.

That's how fast I want to go with you.

But since you are a Princess, I can't do that.

You don't even believe that I am infatuated by you

So, all I can do is console myself with alcohol.

Am I actually beautiful?

Yes.

If I look at you this way...

...what would you want to do?

Now I...

...am curious about what you just said.

Are you sure you won't regret this?

Slow down a bit, my husband.

There were only the two of them in the room.

Full of faint sighs and a sweet, hot taste.

After that, his fingers merged with her body,

opening Chun Hwa's softness, making her wet

Chun Hwa moaned as if she was in pain. Yeong Jun stopped and asked,.

"Does it hurt?"

Chun Hwa looked into Yeong Jun's eyes and said...

"Don't stop."
