14 Sudden changes with princess Ye Beom?

A blinding ray of sunlight woke the second imperial princess up along with the gentle sound of chimes. The gentle breeze of wind that frolics to her skin and the soft bed that is hugging her whole body down.

"You're awake." Said the man whispering behind her on her ears. His breath that is so warm touches the princess's nape that sends tingles from her nape down to her spine.

When she tried to look at her back, princess Ye Beom realize that the man is hugging her. His arms wrapped around the second princess's waist.

"It's too early. Let's sleep more Ye Beom." The man said as he snuggle onto her.

Ah Taejoo, who thought you'd be acting like a child. Princess Ye Beom chuckled as she adore the consort's action.

She turned around to face Taejoo. Ye Beom stares at Taejoo as she cuddled onto him. The sound that she can only hear was the breathing of Taejoo as she can feel his chest heaving right after each breath he takes. Ye Beom looked up at him to glance at his beautiful face— and as she looks up, she met Taejoo's eyes. For a moment of staring to each other they finally broke to smile as they both chuckled.

Taejoo lifts up his hand and tucks Ye Beom's strands of hair across her face, onto her ears. Then he whispered as he press his forehead to Ye Beom's forehead: "Should we sleep some more?"

Ye Beom's heart fluttered as Taejoo's face was so close to hers. "No. We shouldn't." Ye Beom strongly refused.

"Even if I want to, you still need to do your left behind works." She said, as she caress Taejoo's cheeks.

Taejoo frowned when Ye Beom reminded him about the left behind works. "Ah... yeah, I guess you're right."

"Get up now." Princess smiled at Taejoo, as she pulls him up.

"Later, let's stay like this for a little more." He insisted.

"Noooo, you can't." Ye Beom nagged.

"Yes I can. It can wait though." He then smirked at the scoffing face that Ye Beom is marking.

"The 'it' that your talking about is an important matters, Taejoo!" She exclaimed.

"Is it more important than how my wife showed me affection for the first time, in our seven years of marriage?" Taejoo retorted as he tries to pull Ye Beom through her waist.

This guy!!! Ye Beom fumed deep inside. But at the same time, her heart is fluttering with Taejoo's sudden cute and childish action.

"Well, if you put it that way... then I can't argue with that." Then she paused, as she sits down on the bed, holding out Taejoo's hand.

"But still, a work is a work. Do not procrastinate...Song.Tae.Joo. " She emphasizes every syllable of his name.

This man is just like a puppyyy. No, he is more like a wold cub. AAHHHH my husband is just so cute! Princess Ye Beom fangirled over her husband, shaking her head with a big smile and a flushed light pink cheeks.

It made Taejoo uneasy and thought that maybe she's gone mad because of too much sleep. Then he nods as he is satisfied at his speculations and thought that it must be it.

Both of them were lost in their on worlds, when suddenly...

"Gggrrrrooowllll..." Ye Beom's stomach growled. loud enough for Taejoo to hear. They were silenced for a moment.

Did Taejoo heard my growling stomach? Did he heard it? That was so embarrassing! Ye Beom thought to herself as she kept silent, waiting for Taejoo to say something. Princess Ye Beom's thought continued to sail, as her anxiousness does so too. She waited for him to speak, even though it hasn't even been a minute, but to Ye Beom the time seems to be so long. Especially when waiting for Taejoo's respond. However...

"Ye Beom..." Taejoo muttered. Ye Beom immediately looked up at him and stared intently. He stared back at Ye Beom and then he sighed, and was later on followed by a grinning smile as he leans into princess Ye Beom and continued: "...you must be hungry."

Princess Ye Beom was dazed with Taejoo's respond, and said: "Who would not be? It's late already."

"Yes, of course you would be." He smiled. "Should I call Joo-in in here?" Taejoo asked.

"Yes, please do so!" Ye Beom energetically replied with a beaming smile.

As Lady Joo-in, cleans up the tub that princess Ye Beom bathed in, Ye Beom is happily digging on her breakfast.

Meanwhile, in the corner of the second imperial princess's chamber, one of the assistant court ladies, and one of the court ladies gossiped about their mistress.

"Yes, yes!" Exclaimed the assistant lady.

"Shhhhh! Shh! Shhh." Hushed the court lady. "Don't talk too loud. They might hear us!" She wisphered in an exclaiming manner.

"Oh, I'm sorry, sorry... but yes, I also noticed the sudden changes with the mistress' behavior." the assistant lady whispered back.

"Right? Right?... I mean look at her now. Before, she just used to drink she tea in the morning. But now, she eats a lot!" the court lady replied.

"I agree. And also, the way she acts passionately with the consort. It really is surprising! It has been a week that the consort is staying in the mistress's main building."

"Yes! However, I wonder what the two concubine that the princess begged to be brought here?

"I don't know. But did you hear that, rumors say that concubine Kwon Ji Hoon is dead?"

"Ah yes, yes I have heard of that. He was rumored to be beheaded by the mistress's order!?"

replied the court lady, whom is uncertain.

"Then it must be true, we haven't seen concubine Ji Hoon for quiet a while now, didn't—"

"You two have been talking for too long already. What could it be?" Assistant court lady Jang Soohyun interjected.

"Ah! It's the young lady Saehyun! Ahaha." Greeted the court lady nervously.

"It is not Saehyun. It is Soohyun. Now please resume to your positions. This is an order from head lady Joo-in." Soohyun calmly replied, then left them after she relayed what lady Joo-in told her.

The two gossipers searched for lady Joo-in, and there they meet her gaze. a warning was hinted as she stares on them. And so the two of them resumed working, and has received a 10 whippings with the rattan stick by head lady Joo-in.

Fools... Head lady Joo-in thought to herself.
