Black Corporation: Joseon - Chapter 62
Episode 62 Variables (1)
In order to realize the supremacy of the divine power, Ryu Jeong-hyeon and the old gods who resisted were purged, and King Sejong declared the execution of Gyeongjang.
As the stubborn old subjects were swept away, the pendulum of power clearly tilted towards King Sejong, and thanks to this, King Sejong was able to run the government according to his will.
As time passed and summer approached, King Sejong called his ministers.
“Now that Princess Jeonghye is older, how about finding out her sire?”
“I think it’s a really good time.”
“Then let’s find out.”
“I follow your orders.”
The ministers responded cheerfully to King Sejong’s orders. This was because they were keenly aware that a slope was needed to cover up bad times. The main character, Princess Jeonghye, was the one who dominated the royal family’s cuteness.
‘Looking for Princess Jeonghye’s sire! When hearing the rumor, Hyang smiled.
“Your sister Eul is getting married? Many of the elders will be upset.”
Hyang’s evaluation of his sister, Princess Jeonghye, was simple.
“The level of friendliness is perfect. The most friendly of people.” Princess Jeonghye
‘s friendliness was so high that when Hyang, wrapped in a robe, first met her, he was confused by her cuteness shown to adults.
‘Is this gentleman also from the 21st century? ‘
* * *
When a rumor spread that the monks of Seungjeongwon had begun looking for candidates for sire, Princess Jeonghye complained to King Sejong,
“Abama! The girl wants to continue living with her mom and mom! ”
King Sejong smiled at Princess Jeonghye’s annoyance and stroked her head.
“You wouldn’t say it’s me, right? However, when the time comes, it is natural to meet a partner and start a family.”
As King Sejong said this, Princess Jeonghye’s eyes began to well up with tears.
“If I had a wish, I would just like to be with my mom and my mom a little longer.”
“Uh-huh! ”
King Sejong pretended to have a stern expression, but Princess Jeonghye protested to King Sejong with tearful eyes.
“I don’t like that girl! I will continue to live with Abamama Ermamama! ”
“Uh-huh! This guy! Why are you making such a fuss? ”
“I hate you, Abama! ”
Princess Jeonghye left her seat with those words and ran out.
“Jeonghye! ”
King Sejong called, but Princess Jeonghye did not even look back.
Seeing that, King Sejong looked back at Queen Soheon with a dejected expression.
“That’s right….”
Queen Soheon smiled warmly at King Sejong’s expression and came to the princess’s aid. He made an excuse:
“Aren’t you still a child? “He must have wanted to be separated from his parents since he lived in the house of Vice Admiral Hanjae (Lee Myeong-gyun) for more than half of the year.”
At the time, the Joseon royal family had a custom of leaving young princes and princesses to be raised in the homes of ministers. This custom Princess Jeonghye was also living at Lee Maeng-gyun’s house.
When King Sejong could not hide his sad expression, Queen Soheon comforted him.
“Don’t worry too much. Socheop will console Jeonghye’s heart.”
“Please. Haha~. They said that it was the child that did not go their way, and in the end, even Queen Soheon came forward, but Princess Jeonghye stubbornly refused.
“The princess has quit her hunger strike!”
“Oops!”
King Sejong was greatly surprised upon hearing the news that Princess Jeonghye had begun a hunger strike.
“What did the queen say?”
“You’re trying to persuade the princess right now, but she’s so stubborn…”
“Oh… haha.”
King Sejong let out a long sigh after receiving the merchant ship’s report.
“Han . Now that the guy has become quiet, there is another guy…”

The next day, Princess Jeonghye’s residence in Gyeongbokgung Palace.
“Mama Crown Prince has arrived.”
When the lady-in-waiting announced the arrival of incense, Princess Jeonghye responded in a dying voice.
“Mösigera.”
“Yes, mama.”
After Princess Jeonghye’s permission was given, the court ladies opened the door and bowed deeply to Hyang.
“There are a lot of hardships.”
“I am devastated.”
As soon as Hyang entered, the door was closed, and Hyang walked briskly in front of the blanket where Princess Jeonghye was lying. Hyang sat down and called out to the princess.
“Wow! You’re having a hard time too.”
At Hyang’s words, Princess Jeonghye threw away the blanket and stood upright.
“That’s it! Give it to me!”
“That’s right… Tsk!”
Hyang lightly clicked his tongue and searched through his sleeves, holding out a paper bag containing corn taffy and a paper bag containing honey rice cake. All of the taffy and rice cakes were bought at the market after leaving the palace wearing fragrant clothes.
Hyang clicked his tongue slightly as he watched Princess Jeonghye chewing on the sweetmeat she had taken out from the paper bag.
“Tsk! That’s right… Is this the way you want to be in a palace with so much to eat?”
“Be quiet! Do you think Abama will break her stubbornness if you don’t do this?”
“Just find a good gentleman and marry her. If you do something wrong, you will be called an old maid. “Yes.”
“Noisy! I’m doing this all for you!”
“Yes?”
Hyang’s head twisted at the unexpected words.
Princess Jeonghye burped as if her stomach was full from all the taffy and rice cake.
“Ooh! I guess I’ll survive now.”
“That’s right! The princess has no body…”
“That’s enough?”
“Yes, let’s go. But why are you dragging me in all of a sudden?”
“Even if I go when I go, Prince Yu, that damn bastard. “I’m going to make a human and leave it behind.”
“Oh my…”
Hyang had to smile bitterly at Princess Jeonghye’s words.
* * *
Princess Jeonghye, recorded as Princess Jeongso in the original history, was King Sejong’s first child. In the original history, the posthumous name was given as Princess Jeonghye, but it was later changed to Princess Jeongso because she was said to be similar to her aunt.
Originally, she should have died last winter, but the person who survived through Hyang’s cowpox vaccination was Princess Jeonghye. She was one of the variables created by the interference of scent.
Princess Jeonghye’s position in the royal family was significant because she was the eldest daughter.
Of all of King Sejong’s legitimate and illegitimate children – none of whom were born yet – Princess Jeonghye was the eldest. Thanks to that, Princess Jeonghye was someone whom King Sejong and his wife had special affection for.
Princess Jeonghye’s personality also played a role. Princess Jeonghye was so affable that her scent was said to be ‘the most popular of people’.
King Taejong and his wife loved her before their deaths, and not only Grand Prince Hyoryeong, but also Yangnyeong, who had a difficult relationship with King Sejong, also loved her.
In this way, Jeonghye was the center of all the cuteness for the adults in the royal family, but she was a slightly different person to her younger siblings. Hyang evaluated Princess Jeonghye like this.
Princess
Jeonghye was also quite clever, perhaps because she was descended from the blood of King Sejong, the leader of the military. Perhaps because of Lee Seong-gye’s bloodline, he was quite active. However, Jeong-hye, who realized her position and job from an early age, severely scolded her younger siblings when they misbehaved.
The most unfortunate thing for those younger siblings was that Hyang was the reference point for Jeonghye.
“I know very well that Hyang is not a normal person, but even taking that into account, you guys are too spoiled!”
Princess Jeonghye scolded her younger siblings severely if they showed even the slightest misbehavior. He was so strict that Queen Soheon, who saw Princess Jeonghye scolding her younger siblings, scolded her.
“I won’t criticize you for disciplining your younger siblings, but aren’t you being too strict?”
When Queen Soheon said it was too much, Princess Jeonghye responded in a firm voice.
“Oh my, those children are the precious children of Mom and Abama and my cute younger siblings, but at the same time, they are noble princes and princesses. How can we just let such princes and princesses take the lead in causing trouble instead of setting an example? The royal family As the eldest daughter of , the girl can never be tolerated!”
Queen Soheon could only sigh at Princess Jeonghye’s firm answer.
“Ha~.”
The image of the eldest son overlapped with the image of the eldest daughter, who was even getting hit on the calf by King Sejong. Queen Soheon put her hand on her forehead and lamented,
“Haa~. Jeonghye or Crown Prince…”
* * *
The person who scolded Princess Jeonghye the most was Yu (Grand Prince Suyang), followed by Yong (Grand Prince Anpyeong).
In Yu’s case, it was difficult to deny that the environmental impact was significant. Princess Jeongjeong, who was just above Yu, entered the palace with King Sejong and his wife, and Yong, the younger brother, was born in the palace.
However, at the time, Yu was too young to travel long distances, so he had to live in Saga until he was five years old and entered the palace. Thanks to his status as a prince, there were few people who said anything. Thanks to this, he had a fairly free-spirited personality and also showed an arrogant temperament.
Because Yu had this kind of personality, it was common for him to cause trouble of one kind or another even after entering the palace. And as time passed, dragons began to join in on the trouble.
Hyang, the eldest brother, was already planning big things with King Sejong and other ministers, and as Yong reached an age where he liked to cause trouble, Yu and Juk began to get along well.
And Princess Jeonghye was not one to ignore this situation.
“These!”
As soon as she heard that Yu and Yong had caused trouble, Jeonghye pitied them. The two, who knew that if they were called by Jeong-hye, would be scolded to the point of tears, they immediately ran away, but every time they did, Jeong-hye grabbed the hem of their skirts and ran after them.
“Stand up!”
And if you were caught like that, it was natural that you would be scolded several times.
As this happened repeatedly, Princess Jeonghye became like a tiger to Hyang’s younger siblings, unable to move as soon as she stood in front of them.
As soon as she heard the rumor about saving her sire, Jeonghye set one goal.
“I will completely correct Yu’s habits before I get married!”
Or, due to Princess Jeonghye’s hunger strike, the decision on who to marry was postponed. There was an uproar over hunger, but it was also because King Sejong felt sorry for marrying off Jeonghye early.
“We still have time until Jeonghye’s coming-of-age ceremony, so let’s postpone it a little later.”
“I follow your orders.”
In response to King Sejong’s decision to postpone saving his sire, the ministers gathered in groups of twos and threes to talk.
“His Majesty the Lord is also very gentle with his children.”
“Aren’t you the princess you love so much?”
Since Jeonghye had a good image even among the ministers, none of the ministers said anything. If you’re just worried…
“If I do this wrong, I could be very busy with the royal wedding.”
“That’s right. The Crown Prince’s wedding will be approaching as soon as the selection of the sire is over.” Meanwhile, ‘Princess Jeonghye’s selection of the sire has been postponed! ‘ Yu’s face turned pale when he heard the news.
‘Looking for Princess Jeonghye’s sire! The person who cheered the most at the news was himself.
“In just a little while, it will be my world!”
Hearing the news that the person who treated him most severely would soon be leaving the palace, Yu felt like he had the world. However, when Yu heard the news that the sire selection had been postponed a while ago, Yu’s eyes became dark and his whole body began to tremble.
“I’m dead… What should I do?”
Yu’s nightmare is not over yet.
* * *
It was even noticeable that oil prices were in a panic. That’s because Yu, who had been showing signs of becoming a sire little by little as the rumor of ‘sire selection’ began to spread, immediately returned to being a quiet model student.
“It seems like there is such a thing as a natural enemy.”
Hyang, who was watching Yu and Yong quietly sitting and studying, burst into laughter.
As for the scent, there were no complaints. Although it was different from the original history, it was still a very good thing for him that there was definitely an entity that Suyang was afraid of.
“By the way… if my sister gets married, will I be next? ”
Hyang put down the pen and leaned against the backrest.
“In conclusion… I’m really worried about this. How do I get the choice? Just like in the original, you can’t just get married for three years…”
Hyang was deeply troubled by the mega-event that was becoming a conclusion that was gradually becoming a reality. Hyang, who had been worrying about this and that, suddenly became curious.
“But. Did this gentleman in the original become a virtuous person because his marriage was in shambles? Or was his marriage a mess because he was a nerd? ”
It was a scent that made me curious as I recalled a story I had heard in Korean history class.
However, there was something that the scent did not recognize, or rather refused to recognize.
It was a ‘terminal symptom that even doctors had given up on’, which had no connection with the opposite sex, even though Hyang was living in the 21st century. He was a nerd.
During his school days – especially in college – his virtuous qualities were legendary, so female classmates did not approach him at all, and later on, he suffered from the so-called ‘sour grapes syndrome’ – to put it bluntly, ‘mental victory’ – and built a wall around women.
‘Sour grapes’ ‘Syndrome’ was a common symptom among terminally ill geeks. It was compared to the fox in Aesop’s fable, ‘The Fox and the Sour Grapes.’
“The reason I don’t have luck with women is because I have too high eyesight.
I have to lower my standards, but it’s not easy, right? ha ha ha! ‘
This was also the case in the 21st century.
And it was the same even now, when she was reincarnated in the Joseon Dynasty. Until recently, Hyang had been worried about her marriage, but as soon as she founded the research center and began her devotional work in earnest, her thoughts about marriage were thrown away to Andromeda.
