Capital, Joseon Main Royal Palace
The Queen's Quarters in the Joseon Dynasty palace were elegant, warm, and quiet, designed with polished wood floors, silk curtains, and traditional folding screens. Soft light filtered through papered windows, and the air carried a faint scent of incense. Court ladies moved silently, and guards stood watch outside. Though the room felt peaceful, a quiet tension always lingered beneath the surface.
Inside The queen's audience hall in the Joseon palace was a graceful place where she met court ladies and royal guests. Decorated with silk, painted screens, and traditional furnishings, it reflected royal prestige.The queen sat on a raised seat while attendants observed strict etiquette. The room held quiet power, dignity, and influence.
The queen and the young prince (4 months old) were sitting together. The queen was instructing the court ladies. After she finished the instructions,
she asked the wet nurse,
"How is the prince's health?"
"The prince is healthy, Your Majesty,"
and his appetite added the queen.
The wet nurse answered,
"The prince has a good appetite, your majesty"
but the little prince had his own thoughts.
(I have been in this world for nearly four months and the knowledge i have gathered by hearing from others till now is that,
this is the fifth year of yong jo-han, the 16th monarch of joseon dynasty, one of the most weak and kind-hearted king of Joseon, who died in ninth year of his reign because of weak body and overworke.
after that I his first born son crown prince yong kang ascended to the throne because of court politics, and with my mother the queens family support.
if I remembered correctly my uncle who is the older brother of current king was banished from capital because of his scandles and was unhappy, my uncle rebelled in seventh year of my reign and killed me, took the Throne and started his rule with iron and blood ia also known in history as blood tyrent.
God damn it, why is my luck so bad?
In my previous life, I was an orphan who worked his ass off to become a scientist and died for his research without having a girlfriend, and now in this life, I would die before even becoming a proper teenager. Impossible! The hell I am going to follow the destiny; I am going to write my own future and will become the greatest king of the Joseon dynasty)
MAIN COURT ROOM, JOSEON ROYAL PALACE,
in same time at royal court is in turmoil. minister's and other officials are debating. the king sitting in the high throne watching every movement silently, hearing every word carefully,
suddenly chef State councillor spoke,
"your majesty the prince is too young to inherit the title of crown prince"
"i, left State councillor, agree with my lord chief State councillor"
"The prince won't be able to perform the duties of crown prince " said minister of justice
Right State councillor ( kings father-in-law) also spoke.
"Don't ignore the royal blood "
"But the prince didn't even started to talk " said minister of taxation, "Forgive me your majesty but i minister of rites also think that the prince is too young"
The king's face become ugliar, ( These old bastards, i can't even do anything, i lack the power, other than the right state councillor and few of my loyal officials no-one is supporting my words, how powerless, they say
"power and authority comes from king", but looking at the courts situation even i won't believe that).
in the middle of the turmoil the inspector general spoke,
"your majesty the prince is young, we still have time to think about crown prince position, and his majesty is healthy, we should focus on other officials matters".
*His words are calm and slow, but his authoritc tone is clear, even clearly suppressing the king; with his few words.almost everyone present in the court agreed.
The king has no choice but to retreat for now.*
......
King's quarter, study,
"those bastards! How dare they reject my proposal like that"
"cough, cough, cough"
The old eunuch tried to calm the king.
"Your Majesty, please calm down; your body won't be able to handle the anger"
"What can I do, eunuch Ho, I was so powerless against them"
"Your Majesty, the right time will come, please calm down and take the medicine"
