The place where Jeongguk lived

Yerim had been waiting for Jeongguk for several days.


예림
'I'm anxious...'


예림
'I said it was okay, but...'


예림
'There's no way it'll be okay...'


예림
What should I do...?

Grandma: Honey, hasn't that bachelor arrived yet?


예림
Oh, grandma. No. She's not here yet.

Grandma: Really..?


예림
grandma.


예림
I hope nothing went wrong...?

Grandma: I don't know... But I don't think so...


예림
...yes..

.

A few days later

Just like a few days ago, government troops stormed into Jeongguk's house, where Yerim was staying.


예림
uh...?

But it was definitely different then.

I didn't even try to break the door

Rather, I asked permission to come in.


예림
Who..who are you..?

도승지
Are you Kim Ye-rim?


예림
yes...

도승지
Come with us for a moment.

도승지
His Majesty is calling.


예림
Your Majesty...? Why me?

도승지
I don't know about that either.

도승지
It will take a few days.

도승지
Let's go.


예림
yes..

.

도승지
Your Majesty, I brought you.


(왕) 민혁🌑
Okay, go ahead.

.


예림
What... what happened to me...


(왕) 민혁🌑
Look up.


예림
...uh?


(왕) 민혁🌑
Have you seen me?


예림
Before, that... teacher came to my house...


(왕) 민혁🌑
that's right.


예림
Ah... that... that... I didn't know you were the king...


예림
sorry...


(왕) 민혁🌑
Phew_)


(왕) 민혁🌑
What are you sorry about?


예림
He... he asked who you were... and...


(왕) 민혁🌑
no.


(왕) 민혁🌑
There's nothing to be sorry about.


(왕) 민혁🌑
Because I wanted to hide it too.


예림
however..


예림
Why did you call me?


(왕) 민혁🌑
I heard about you from your teacher


(왕) 민혁🌑
If that's true


(왕) 민혁🌑
Because I don't want to miss it.


예림
What...?


(왕) 민혁🌑
Talented person.


예림
uh...


예림
What should I do..?


(왕) 민혁🌑
I have no intention of ordering anything.


(왕) 민혁🌑
I'm giving you a choice.


(왕) 민혁🌑
I just...


(왕) 민혁🌑
Your talents are being wasted because you are a woman and of low social status.


(왕) 민혁🌑
I didn't want to mix it up.


예림
Does that mean I have talent?


(왕) 민혁🌑
Um... didn't you know?


예림
What talent do I have...?


(왕) 민혁🌑
Hmm... let's do it like this.


(왕) 민혁🌑
The Master said, "If you learn and practice from time to time, why not say it?"


예림
If a friend comes from afar, isn't it a pleasure?


예림
If a person does not know and is not warm, then he is not a gentleman.


예림
This is Chapter 1, Verse 1 of the Analects.


예림
Wouldn't it be a joy to learn and master it in due time?


예림
Isn't it also a joy when a friend comes from afar?


예림
Wouldn't it also be a noble person not to be angry when others don't recognize me?


예림
This sentence has the key word "learning" that Confucius wanted to emphasize.


예림
I think it should be interpreted from the perspective that they are tempting us.


(왕) 민혁🌑
...


(왕) 민혁🌑
This is your talent.


(왕) 민혁🌑
'amazing...'


(왕) 민혁🌑
'It's not even the Elementary Learning, it's the Analects of Confucius...'


(왕) 민혁🌑
'I just blurted out a random phrase and you answered without a moment's hesitation...'


(왕) 민혁🌑
'Honestly... I want it.'


(왕) 민혁🌑
'He's a good talent.'


예림
Is this talent?


(왕) 민혁🌑
Haha, okay.


(왕) 민혁🌑
Where did you learn it?


예림
Well... I just read a few of your books.


(왕) 민혁🌑
by yourself?


예림
yes.


(왕) 민혁🌑
Did you interpret it all by yourself?


예림
...yes.


예림
Is something wrong?


(왕) 민혁🌑
What's wrong...


(왕) 민혁🌑
you.


(왕) 민혁🌑
Have you ever thought about running a government?


예림
Is it a matter of state?


(왕) 민혁🌑
Not now, but later when I grow up


(왕) 민혁🌑
I'd like to try it once...


예림
I heard that women can't see the past.


(왕) 민혁🌑
I am the king.


(왕) 민혁🌑
If you show your skills, the ministers will acknowledge you.


(왕) 민혁🌑
This time I swept it all up (ahem..


(왕) 민혁🌑
Anyway.


(왕) 민혁🌑
Want to try?


예림
Well... it's good to work for the country...


예림
Where do I live?


(왕) 민혁🌑
Of course, I will provide you with a place to live.


(왕) 민혁🌑
Near the palace.


(왕) 민혁🌑
how is it?


예림
Hmm... good!


(왕) 민혁🌑
good.
