Court Lady Yoon widened her eyes at the overprotection. Did he really put her to sleep?

She is the woman who will be queen no matter what. Will he think she would be such a woman that would never be able to talk with the Empress? When Court Lady Yoon looked into the eyes of King Mun, his dark eyes also turned to her.

"My wife doesn't do anything."

"I heard that she is the one who grants wishes."

"......."

"Her Majesty the Empress is hoping that her wish will come true."

King Mun fixed his wife and embraced her.

"I know."

King Mun replied indifferently. The carriage rattled and was heading towards the Empress Palace.

***

"Greeting Your Majesty."

"You're in trouble, really."

The Empress looked down at her son with a puzzled look. He was bowing down on his knees as he did the whole thing while holding his wife.

The story of his son plundering an illegitimate drugstore, taking the illegitimate child like a beggar one night and turning her into his wife has spread all over. While ignoring her own choice as the Empress, the Emperor nor his older brother, the prince, the entire imperial family was disregarded .

Her son, who held the woman in his arms, came and sat next to her. As the Empress's gorgeous fingertips were about to touch the woman's face, her son hid his wife's face a little.

"King Mun."

"Please no."

As she looked at her son's reluctant face, the Empress's eyebrows shook like willows by the river.

"Aren't you supposed to wake her up?"

"I was forced to bring someone who was not feeling well. I will not wake her."

"I am the Empress of this Empire."

She had never heard of such a treatment. The Empress's displeasure was evident on her fair face. But looking at her face, her son only gently embraced his wife.

"I know. So, I brought someone as strenuous as this. I wasn't able to refuse Your Majesty's commander."

There were thorns on his son's tongue.

The Empress looked at her own son anew. Was he this cold kid? He wasn't a friendly child, but he was a child who was filial to his mother and father. When he received his father's command, he went to any hell without a word, and when he received his mother's request, he was sure to save any treasure. He was such a child.

It was unusual for him to pamper a girl as skinny as a skewer.

"Do you neglect this mother as soon as you have a woman?"

The court lady brought tea. The Empress asked, holding a teacup. Jewels dangling from her long nails.

"How can you say that when I have never disobeyed your command, including this moment?"

"I mean, you keep trying to avoid me."

"......."

"You must see her in the royal genealogy and prepare for the holy wedding, King Mun."

"What do you need to see? It's enough to list her in the name of the royal genealogy, and you don't have to perform the holy wedding ceremony according to the law."

"Heonyoung."

When the Empress quietly called her son's name, her son bit his tongue. He glanced at the sleeping woman's face with a reluctant look. It's like swiping a part of a treasure and showing it.

....... Yes, he doesn't want to show this face, so he's been refusing all calls from his mother. He fell for this face.

The Empress looked down at the face of the woman asleep in her son's arms.

It's pale.

In the eyes of the Empress, who only dealt with all kinds of beauties, this woman only looked ugly.

She frowned and looked at her son. Although he has his face covered with a red goblin mask, her own son is truly a young man who will melt the affections of women.

He occupied an important position as the master of the inspectorate, had many criminal arrest records, and the Emperor's favor was strong on him. What is it that his own son lacks in such a thing that he has brought in this kind of girl into the palace rather than a concubine?

"Mother doesn't like it."

"......."

"How can you bring a woman without a background into the palace? This is the only imperial palace in the Empire. It's not a place to be sarcastic."

"......."

"What did you like about this woman in the first place? Tell your mother. I will bring you someone who is of a much higher rank than this, and whom you will have in your heart."

"...... the face?"
