Queen Idaman

77

This morning Princess Lie was preoccupied with various ingredients to make porridge because Prince Jun who wanted to porridge like yesterday. At first Prince Jun did not allow his wife to cook but because only Princess Lie knew how to make it must be done alone.

Not wanting the wife to work alone in the kitchen, Mei and Tei accompany Princess Lie to cooking. Jei had protested not to accept if Tei had to accompany because he did not want to worship his heart approached by other men.

On the grounds that the job would not be completed if Jei came along because he would definitely tempt Mei to continue so he was not allowed to go kitchen too.

Finally Jei resigned to see Tei go with the two women to go to the kitchen. Tei taunts her by pretending to hug Mei's back but Jei can't do anything but curse Tei with useless words.

"Tei if you touch her I won't let you live happily, you won't have a partner for the rest of your life, you'll be alone without a wife, you'll be on your own for the rest of your life if you touch her" jei's shout was so echoed in front of Prince Jun's room to several other hallways.

Prince Jun and Jie couldn't hide their laughter as they looked at Jei's dejected face which was extremely affectionate if not laughed at.

And that made Jei's frustration level even higher, Prince Jun asked him to call physician Yuan to come immediately.

"Jei go to Yuan's place, call him here as soon as possible" Prince Jun said, trying to divert Jei's frustration.

Jei nodded then left just like that after hearing the orders from his master. Jie who had been silent again laughed again seeing the behavior of his friend.

"God, why would I have a friend like that? she's not a girl who should sulk if she doesn't!" jie's murmur wiped away the little tears that came out from continuing to laugh.

"Ask yourself" Prince Jun said and left.

Jie directly chased after her master who was moving away towards the gazebo in the wide fish pond.

While in the kitchen...

Princess Lie asked Mei to prepare her cooking utensils while she prepared the ingredients Tei took as she said.

After they were all ready to start the cooking with Mei making the cake, Tei was asked to bake the danging while Princess Lie made the porridge. This time he wanted to try giving meat to his porridge because it would be bored if there was no variation of the topping he thought.

Although he had to wrestle with smoke as well as burnt fire but Tei was quite skilled in processing it. Tei was curious from where his daughter learned how to make a good porridge until her master liked the food so much.

"Empress! where did you learn all those dishes wasn't there in General Han's residence many servants! did they order the Empress to cook?" tanya Tei was curious.

"You know it or you want to know it!" said Princess Lie

"You know very well that the Empress" Tei replied excitedly.

Princess Lie smiled faintly looking at Tei's curious enthusiasm. Though he himself was hot also seen difficulty breathing because of the smoke that often leads to his face.

"A woman should be able to cook regardless of her status, and cooking gives us a lot of insight into the taste and the perfect collaboration to create delicious cuisine" explains Princess Lie.

Tei just nodded whether he understood or not with what Princess Lie said the important nods.

"What's the collaboration, Empress?" ask Mei confused.

"Mixed or combined" replied Princess Lie then continue the cooking, but she only made up the important thing makes sense her inner answer with a smile amused because the face believes both.

Sorry yes I just made it up earlier, in my previous life I never cooked just to see my mom do it.

But Tei kept quiet without bothering others. Tei took the cloth that was nearby and tore it to wrap it in his wound.

Tei continued his work after the wound was over. Their cuisine was quick because they cooperated with each other even Tei who was most pleased when he saw the dish in front of him ready to eat.

If only there was no Princess Lie there, it can be ascertained that the porridge and cake will run out made Tei who likes to eat.

Princess Lie looked at the butler Hasim who had come with the other five servants into the kitchen and bowed his head respectfully to her.

"The Empress, those who will be cooking from now on so if you need something to eat just tell them" said the butler Hasim politely.

Princess Lie's gaze fell on the five women behind Hasim's butler who was still lowered.

"Ext five more people to cook food for the waiter and the bodyguard who works here, every break turns you all, all of you, half eat half keep working time off after eating 15 minutes only because the one who has not eaten must be hungry too and for those who have eaten back to work again" princess Lie said to Hasim's butler.

Although with a flat tone but it was very touching for the servant who heard it even the butler Hasim was also very happy to hear it because it got such a wise mistress that Princess Lie was paying attention to them as well.

"Okay Empress, I will add the kitchen maid again and do as you command. But our spending will be even greater if it is like the Empress! I fear that His Highness the Prince will be angry" said the head of Hasim.

The two hands of Princess Lie he folded on his chest because the nonsense speech was thrown.

"How could Your Majesty be angry just because the servants and bodyguards who worked all day here ate the food that was here, they're hungry too if you don't know that and which energy they use to work all day if they don't eat. You think they can work if you don't eat or you don't eat or you don't feed them all this time!" princess Lie was angry at the butler.

The butler Hasim looked down in fear, he did not expect that he would get such a shower of hearts from the hostess. The butler Hasim also became wary due to Princess Lie's last question.

"Sorry Empress, they always eat only if the work is done in the afternoon, even the leftovers from the residence" the words of Hasim's servant's captain made Princess Lie even more angry with him.

"Aren't you in your right mind just feeding people after working all day! oh really I don't understand your way of thinking, who chose you to be your butler is so useless" Princess Lie's harshest.

"I was chosen directly by the queen mother when His Highness the Prince started living here, I arranged everything, but after Consort Yein entered this residence all was taken over by him and the rules he made. Even we can't eat if our work goes wrong" said butler Hasim explaining what he was doing.

"Don't throw blame on anyone else what else is not here anymore, you should have reported it to me when I came instead of continuing to follow the rules. You do have to retire apparently because it is getting older so can not work anymore" said Princess Lie relaxed but for the butler Hasim it is very stressful.

"I beg you not Empress, I still have to treat my sick child, amouni I Empress don't fire me" the butler Hasim bowed before Princess Lie.

Immediately Princess Lie dodged from before her because she did not like prostration before her. I am God must be in his conscience.

"The bodyguard took her away from here in her room and gave her back to the queen mother after I gave you a letter for her" Princess Lie said.

Hasim's butler was taken away at Princess Lie's command. Since she was the queen's own choice so Princess Lie would only return it, she did not want to offend her mother-in-law by throwing away her long-time choice of working for Prince Jun.

The letter would explain everything to the Queen as her intermediary who could not face directly to Queen Xiao-in-law.

"You come in and prepare food for you, it must be enough for all of you" Princess Lie said again to the five maids.

The five maids immediately came in and did their job. Jei came happily to approach those who were already about to leave the kitchen.
