The Most Troublesome Son

His Precious Woman

"Eoma -mama, I heard you have planned to have lunch with Bingung. Could I join?" said Yi Kang after they were done talking about the late crown prince's case.

"Sure," Queen Im smiled at her son. She was glad her son took her advice seriously. She heard her son send several things to his wife like Jewellery or fruits. He even invited her to have lunch and tea time together.

Queen Im spent time chatting with Yi Kang while waiting for the crown princess to arrive. She could see how fidgety and nervous her son was. His eyes glanced at the door very often.

"What is wrong?"

"Oh, nothing." said Yi Kang. He smiled sheepishly.

"Can't wait to meet your wife?" Queen Im teased.

Yi Kang gave her an embarrassed smile. They were talking about Muan Daegun and his baby when the attendant told them that Bingung-mama already come. Queen Im saw his son's eyes light up when the door opened. A woman with a fuchsia top and dark blue skirt came into the room with a bright smile adorning her face, she gave her greeting to her mother-in-law but then her face changed into confusion when she saw her husband was there.

"Should we cancel this lunch, Jungjeon-mama? It seems you have an important matter to discuss with Seja-Jeoha?" said the Crown Princess hesitantly.

Queen Im smiled. "Of course not, Seja wants to join our lunch date."

Cheongha smiled at her husband Awkwardly. "Oh," she said.

Queen Im raised her eyebrow. She thought after spending the night together, Yi Kang's relationship with his wife would be better. But it turned out that their interactions became even more awkward with each other. Surprisingly, it was the crown princess who looked uncomfortable in this room. The girl who is usually cheerful and smiles a lot was now just silent with her stiff smile.

Queen Im pretended to be oblivious as she didn't want to make the atmosphere becoming more awkward. "Shin Sanggung please tell them to serve the food," she said.

"Yes, mama." Shin Sanggung who saw the cue from Queen Im went out of the room and ordered the maid to bring the food in.

"The royal kitchen got hairtail today. I told them to cook soup for you," said Queen Im as soon as her daughter-in-law sat beside Yi Kang.

"Thank you, Jungjeon-mama."

"I also ordered the kitchen to cook some seafood dishes such as shrimp and squid."

"She can't eat shrimp Eoma-mama," said Yi Kang butt in into the conversation. Cheongha turned her head toward her husband with a bewildered expression.

Queen Im frowned. "You can't? I still remember you don't have any allergies," she asked.

The Crown Princess's cheeks were red. "Ah, that...I don't have any allergies."

"But you never touched the shrimp when we ate at Manw--" Yi Kang stopped himself as he realized a lot of maids brought food around them.

Queen Im looked at her daughter-in-law as if waiting for an explanation. Yi Kang also looked at his wife with a confused face.

"Ah... At that time, Jeoha seemed to really like shrimp, so--." said Cheongha. Her lips were tense around the words.

Queen Im chuckled, her son looked quite flustered with his wife's answer. Both awkwardly avoid looking at each other. Queen Im moved a plate of stir-fried shrimp toward the newlywed. Instead of feeling grateful, her son glared at her.

Queen Im pretended not to see the look from her son and focused her attention on her daughter-in-law. "How is your father? I got the cake you cooked yesterday. Look like you got a talent in cooking, "she asked.
