The white little fox and The Swordsman

Chapter 9: The white little fox and The Swordsman

Seungcheol's POV

"Your Majesty..." Channie is coming.

I woke up earlier to look at the tired Jeonghan, with his mouth slightly opened and when he moves, his mouth munches then continues going deeper in the dreamland that made me smile.

"Shh Chan-ah... Go back after an hour." I whispered to the young but trusted eunuch, Lee Chan.

"But, can I tell you about your schedule for today?" He asked in a whisper.

"Yeah, you can, and then vanish after," I said.

"Okay," he swallowed his imaginary food then spoke, "In the morning, you will have a meeting for the ministries and tackle the current situations of the ministries and the lords of every state. In the afternoon, you will have a visitor from Kaechon. In the 4th hour in the afternoon, we will have our monthly food supply giving at the Marketplace, the Concubines are informed about this event and lastly, at night, you are free." He breathed after he recited all of my schedule.

I chuckled and dismissed him using my hand.

"But, Your Majesty. The queen of Baekje is coming..." I raised my brow when I heard the royal title of my mother-in-law.

"What does she want in our country?" I asked.

"I-I don't know, Your Majesty. Maybe she wants to see her son." Chan said.

I exhaled a heavy breath and dismissed him again.

The queen of Baekje, Park Bom wants to see her son once in a blue moon. Either she wants something from us or wants to escape some problem in their country.

"My bum hurts..." I looked at Jeonghan who was stretching his arms and legs out, unaware of my presence.

"Do you feel good now?" I asked him, and that made him look at my side.

"Yah! Why are you still here?!" he asked, covering himself with his blanket. "Go back to your residence!"

I shook my head and faced him again, "My residence is too far. And I still want to see your pretty face."

Third Person's POV

"I don't know if it's good or not," Jeonghan said while wincing and holding his... bum, every time he moved.

"Because I told you that you should rest more than going with me," I said while looking at the people coming with their baskets in their hands.

"Oh, good lords! The angel is true as they said! Aigoo! Gamsambnida!" a man shouted when Jeonghan gave him a two-gourd dipper of rice.

"The Emperor chose the best Concubine, you know..." someone also commented.

They are currently giving the commoners monthly food supplies and necessities like new clothes and shoes to help the poor and to share their fortunes with them. Princess Gyeongju started this tradition and they make it every month, to let the Royalty and the commoners see and appreciate each other, as well as thanking to the efforts that they give to the country.

An old woman approached the Concubines side, Lady Lee gave her a cup of rice (the gourd dipper). Lord Kang gave her a bundle of vegetables and fruits. Then, it approached Jeonghan and Seungcheol.

"Oh, Uri Seungcheollie..." the woman smiled when he saw the Emperor.

"Oh, uri Nana-halmoni.." The emperor mimicked the old woman and made her laugh.
