Three years later.
Author's POV.

News from the palace has reached Biryu i.e a part of Goguryeo.
The performing team who usually gather the people at the market square were on their low podium ready to share the news for a few coins.
One was dressed in a yellow painted leather armor to depict the King's Golden armor and the other wore a green painted armor and a cream cloth tied to his head depicting Queen Yoo hwa in her armor and veil.
The following went on between them and the crowd.

Performer: Big news! Big news ! Gather around , Gather around, a priceless news Big news, No money or time can buy this authentic news from the palace.

Upon hearing the word 'palace' some of them who originally didn't intend to stand and watch kept aside what they were doing.

Performer: Now that i have your attention let us start from the beginning, in remembrance of how our beloved Queen, her Majesty Queen Yoo hwa sought to bring an end to the drought last year, her Majesty suffered a long journey to Northern wei to buy grains all in concern for our lowly bellies. And of course when her Majesty supported us through the epidemic, all in her endless benevolence.

A man: wasn't that all a ruse? How can a Queen mix with our kind and risk being part of the plague? Huh! And how many ladies disguise as the Queen these days.

Performer: Our sources are always accurate and it was proven she was the one from her 'embroidery' as the scholarly lords say.

The man: hmmfff!

Performer: Not to speak of how she fought side by side his Majesty when his Majesty Conquered Buyeo.

The two men wearing the costumes made the back to back pose making circles, striking the air fiercely with sticks.

Performer: but as it was said his Majesty always kept her in sight.

The man with the yellow armor waved his hand back to an arch, to gesture protection to the man with green armor.

Performer: All because of his endless care for the Queen.
I have two big news for you today, would you want to hear from the smallest to the biggest or...

A man: just start from the smallest.

Performer: Her Majesty has sent a red card to that good for nothing physician earlier in company of Lady Doha. The local infirmary will soon be free of him.

They all exchanged joyful glances.
The citizens could now submit any personal complains to the Queen and Doha unofficially executes the Queen's commands.

Performer: The biggest news is about the Queen herself. The Queen is.. .The Queen is.. is .

A man: Arghh! Just say it already.

Performer: is with child.

A woman: Really? that is a great news, a call for celebration.

A grumpy man: Does it even matter? Her Highness Yeon woo has already given birth to the Crown Prince months ago and the second Queen has been with child since before her.

The woman: Who cares about the Crown prince position, we are just happy our Queen will finally have a child of her own.

The grumpy man: 'urghh' he shrugged off.

The woman: You are not even old, why are you so grumpy? Is it because your wif..

The grumpy man: keep your tongue away from me woman!
