Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 341

341
‘Tea, you’re not going to come and find me, are you?’

When I heard that the prince was looking for me, I started to think that something might go terribly wrong.

If the crown prince came to see him in person, he could have been caught disguising himself as a woman and ended up being punished for insulting the crown prince, and the letter he had written to the emperor in secret could have been discovered.

But my thought was that if something big had happened, wouldn’t the classmates or the royal family have come looking for them?

‘No. Considering that I haven’t heard from my classmates or the Royal Guard until now, it might not be such a big deal.’

If the Crown Prince’s search for me had become a big deal, my classmates or the Royal Guard would have come to me and told me something.

‘By the way, are Unmi and the court lady who were with me okay?’

Even if the ripple effect didn’t reach me, I thought the maid who was with me might be embarrassed, but once I calmed down and wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, I could see that it was not the time for me to worry about others.

A hot gaze felt on both cheeks.

I could feel the hot gazes of Seol Nui and Hwa Eun.

Unable to meet Hwa-eun’s eyes, he slowly turned his head and looked at Seol-niu.

Then a question is heard.

“Little Dragon, why didn’t you tell me about such a big thing?”

When I closed my eyes tightly and looked at Hwa-eun, similar questions followed.

“Little Dragon, why didn’t you tell me?”

But how can I say this?

My younger sister dressed up as a woman and seduced the prince?

The fiancée dressed up as a woman and seduced the prince?

“No, that’s hard to say···.”

As we let out a long sigh, Eunbi Rooju, who had been listening to our story, asked again.

“Excuse me, Prince? I don’t know what you’re talking about, but let’s start with my conversation….”

Since we came as guests and were talking amongst ourselves, this is definitely rude.

Well, since it’s already been revealed anyway, if I can blow a big hit on Odokmun by revealing my secret, what can I do?

He answered with his eyes tightly shut.

“I’m going.”

“?”

When I opened my tightly shut eyes because there was no response, I saw Eunbi Rooju tilting her head at the mention of me.

“What is this, Prince So?”

Is it really necessary to ask back as if to confirm the killing?

He answered, vowing that his great shame would be sublimated into anger at the misreading.

If it weren’t for the Odogmun, I wouldn’t have had a reason to cross-dress.

‘I will sublimate this humiliation and shame into anger and completely destroy you Odukmun bastards!’

“Tae, the palace maid that the Crown Prince is looking for. That person is me···.”

“huh?”

Elder Poonggae opened his eyes wide in surprise at my answer, and Eunbi Rooju, who had been blinking, sighed and said.

“No, it’s something that has to be kept secret because it’s related to the royal family… What kind of nonsense is that….”

It would definitely be absurd for a beautiful court lady to suddenly appear in the country.

Eunbi Rooju seemed to think that I was trying to hide something from her because it was a royal matter.

“W-Wow!?”

But she, who had been looking at me with a bewildered expression, suddenly opened her eyes wide, made a circle with her thumb and index finger, and looked at me with it.

It seemed like he was looking at me with all parts of his body except his face covered, and maybe because he was the owner of the cloak, he was able to roughly picture me dressed up as a woman in that image.

After a while, she covered her mouth and trailed off with a look of disbelief.

“oh my god···.”

He spoke as if explaining to her, Seol Nui, and Hwa Eun, who were all shocked.

“I can’t tell you the details, but I had to go into the palace and put on a palace maid’s clothes for a while, and somehow I ended up running into the Crown Princess.

“Is this enough?”

Eunbi Luju nodded quickly at my explanation.

I originally said that I was trying to establish a connection with the next empress or a concubine, but it was clear that my information would be of no help in that regard, so I just nodded in bewilderment.

‘Well, since you said I only needed to give you this information, I guess you won’t say anything else?’

***

It was thought that Haomen would handle the area south of the Yangtze River and Gaebong would handle the area north of it, but the next ruler of Haomen was a very greedy person.

After hearing information about the strongholds of the Odokmun and the Blood Cult, they proposed that they take care of a few more places themselves.

I guess there must be a place that looks delicious there.

“Here, can we handle this too? It’s north of the Yangtze River, but it’s a place we can’t miss.”

“To that point?”

“If we push out these four places, our power will increase, and this is a dam, and this is a restaurant, and these two places are giving us headaches these days. If you give in, we will take care of it.”

“Let’s do that. We’d be better off if Haomun took care of it.”

Anyway, the agreement was reached and work will begin today.

“You must hurry, because if you are late, they may escape.”

“Okay.”

“I understand, Your Majesty.”

After finishing the discussion, we left the hut.

“Okay, you can go. I’ll see you off.”

“thank you.”

Eunbi Rouge said she would see us off to the door, but it was when we were crossing the backyard again.

As she passed by the pond, ducks and peacocks came up to her and nuzzled her.

When I came here to sponsor, I thought the person raising the birds was of the same species as me, but it turns out the new owner was probably Rouge.

Since Kiru’s owner is Rouge, the cages and birds would be Rouge’s taste, but since Rouge would probably raise birds with people, I was thinking of asking the person who takes care of the birds, but it was unexpected.

“I was wondering who would raise the birds since there are so many cages, but it seems like you raise all the birds yourself, Rouge?”

Eunbi Rouge nodded to my question.

“Yes, I have a hobby of raising birds. It also helps me learn the sound.”

“ah···.”

A courtesan and a pros**tute?

It was a combination that went together well.

Gisaengs are the singers of this era, so singers use their vocal skills.

A thought suddenly occurred to me as I nodded and walked towards the side door I had come in through earlier.

I felt that I needed to strengthen my connection with Eunbi Rouge.

It wasn’t a matter of Eunbi Rouge being my style or anything like that, it was because of teenage poison.

Jimjo, who occupies the highest seat of the teenage poison.

I had to aim for it in the end, but I had little information about the bird.

Although I had general knowledge about birds, I lacked breeding know-how and specialized knowledge.

So, I thought it would be a good idea to get some help from a bird raiser.

Well, it’s a spiritual thing so there might be some differences, but it’s better to have information than not to have it.

‘I guess I need to develop my relationship from a business relationship to a personal one. Then, certification is the way to go, right?’

If you want to get help later, it might be a good idea to take the business relationship to a personal level.

So how do we develop our relationship privately?

Authentication was absolutely necessary to develop relationships among our kind.

‘Is this authentication?’

Just as I was thinking about trying to authenticate myself, the right question came to me.

“By the way, how did you know that I raise them myself? Other people think that I raise people. Do you like birds by any chance?”

I smiled at her question, which seemed to be expecting something.

That question is definitely a similar one.

It was a question about wanting to be recognized for what you are raising, wanting to be praised, and wanting to meet someone who understands you.

That’s what most maniacs are like.

We decided to proceed with the verification right away, because just showing that we are of the same species would strengthen our network.

Even if the classification is slightly different, just showing that you are similar to me will create some camaraderie.

He answered with a smile.

“Oh, it’s not that I like birds. It’s because we’re the same species.”

“confederate?”

Her eyes were slightly disappointed when I told her I didn’t like birds, but when I told her I was their kind, her eyes changed again.

At Rouge’s question, Dong-i and Hong-dan were called out from her arms and wrists.

“Dong-ah, come out. Hong-dan, come out too.”

-Quit!

-Kkii.

At my call, Dong-i popped out her head from between my chest and Hong-dan crawled up from my wrist to my shoulder.

“Should I say hello?”

-Kyu.

-Squeak.

As expected, when I asked her to greet me, Rouge’s surprised voice continued.

“What is this!? You understand human speech!?”

“Did you know that I have the nickname ‘Cheonha Dokmul Papa’?”

“?”

But Rouge hesitates for a moment at the nickname.

She answered in a bewildered voice.

“Oh, of course. I know you raise a lot of poisonous creatures, but I didn’t know you would take them around like this. And you might understand human speech. And of course you know the world’s poisonous creatures. I know that.”

I have a feeling he definitely didn’t know the nickname.

But it seemed like he was saying that he understood it with a similar sensibility.

Because it is essential for people of our kind to acknowledge each other.

Although I was a little disappointed, I nodded and said that I had not made the same mistake as my peers.

“I’m thinking of raising a bird later on. Could you help me with that?”

“Really?”

“yes.”

“Of course! What kind of birds do you like, Confucius? Oh, there are birds with good sounds and birds with pretty faces. The birds that are good for beginners to raise are, of course, chickens and ducks, but these birds are big and make loud sounds, so people don’t like them.

So people catch a lot of small birds and raise them, but those birds don’t eat the food they are given, so raising them is difficult at first.

So once you decide what you want to grow, please let me know and I will be able to help you.”

Seol Nui smiled and said as she continued to speak.

“Let’s be friends.”

Sister Seol probably felt the same way.

***

If it were before, I would have been jealous of Hwa-eun for being friendly with Gi-ru’s owner, but seeing Seol’s sister’s reaction, I just made an expression like, “That’s just you guys again.”

It seemed like I was getting used to it now.

“I don’t know. I just brought up a new topic and got such an enthusiastic response.”

“Hwa-eun also feels good when she praises the kids. And when the kids do something great, she wants to brag about it. Something like that?”

“Then I guess it makes a little more sense?”

The ship that returned across the author.

There were unexpected people waiting.

“Huh! Your Majesty, Your Majesty!?” “Even Your Majesty, Your Eunuch!?”

“Oh, where have you been, Little Dragon? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

“This is something I’ve been told in advance.”

When I heard that the prince was looking for me, I asked if something had happened and if the royal family or the royal guard would have come looking for me, but it turned out that the two of them were waiting for me.

Even casual clothes.

It was clear that something big had happened since he had come secretly.

‘Oh, are you screwed?’

“How are you two?”

“Actually, it was the Crown Princess who said······.”

But maybe not. I tried to deny it as I asked the question. The answer I got was one I didn’t want.

My heart sank at the word “Princess Mama.”

Because it seemed like it was going to be the worst situation I expected.

That’s why I didn’t hear anything, but the last words shocked me again.

“······That’s why we brought you here.”

“yes!?”

No, you crazy gentlemen, you should finish it off well. Why did you bring the prince here?

As I was startled, the maid who had been standing behind the two of them walked out.

“huh?”

“Oh, hello.”

It was not the crown prince but the court lady Unmi who appeared.

As I blinked in surprise, General Maeng continued speaking.

“The prince is making a fuss to find you, so wouldn’t he also tell you to find that child who was with you?

I was afraid something awkward would happen, so I hid the child for a while and made a promise that a fairy had come down that day, since that was the day the Five Kings wrote in the Emperor’s Palace.

Since the other children were disciplined, that child will now be a child who never existed in the palace.

But we can’t just dispose of a loyal child for discipline… and we can’t keep him either.

So, won’t you take care of him for a bit? Take him to the party and use him as a scapegoat.”

I’m glad he’s not the crown prince, and I’m glad he took care of things on his own, but why did he toss the palace maid to me?

Hwa-eun looked at her in confusion, and Hwa-eun tilted her head to Unmi-rang and asked.

“Did you ever dress up as a woman for Little Dragon?”

“Oh? Yes, ma’am, that’s right, miss.”

“Um… Welcome to the party.”

It was a hiring process faster than light.
