I think the King is worried that Song Yeon will need great protecting in the palace and worries for her happiness and safety in a place of lethal political intrigue. Hong is starting to make me worry.
U guys got twisted ..Hong is only going along w/ the queen-mother b/c she said the marriage will giv Hong more power, w/ that he can help the king better
like a small willfull child the Norons were thinking they were always in charge not so so King put child in corner and till the child reforms to all love
I don't see why the king just went along with it..N yeon is quite annoying with her letting everyone do what ever they can with her n then she gets scared out..geese..
