The king and his entourage were walking to the royal council hall to discuss the festive plans for the queen's birthday, as well as to read petitions from various regions of his kingdom.
But along the way, the king heard prickly shoes from the ladies who were gossiping about the empress who was said to be cooking in the palace kitchen.
To make the king feel curious, what exactly are the palace ladies talking about? Then the king arrived - suddenly stopped his steps. And that made the eunuch Jang and Park so joon along with the ladies-in-waiting who were walking behind the king suddenly also stopped.
" Eunuch Jang, find out what the palace ladies are talking about."
" Good noble, I will soon find out for your majesty." Then eunuch Jang saluted and immediately went to carry out his master's orders.
But the king, along with the rest of the company, resumed their journey.
Arriving in the hall, the King was greeted by rows of royal councils who saluted him. The king walked towards his throne. Then sit on the seat of greatness that belongs to him.
As usual the king began to read petitions sent from various regions in his kingdom, and asked the ministers for their opinions to find solutions to solve various problems complained about.
After reading the petition, the king asked the opinion of the ministers about the agenda of the birthday celebration of the queen mother who will be held soon. And as always will always be full of debate among the ministers especially from the prime minister's camp Kim tae hoon father-in-law of the king and also from the prime minister's camp Han tae kyung father of the concubine grand. And it really makes the king always feel dizzy, at every meeting of the royal council routine.
The debate continued for quite a while, until they finally reached an agreement. The king who was tired enough immediately rushed out of the hall, followed by the king's bodyguards and ladies-in-waiting who followed wherever the king went.
the king who had just come out of the sea suddenly stopped his steps because he heard the voice of the person who was calling him. Then the king turned to the source of the voice. It turned out that it was Eunuch Jang who was running towards him.
With breath still cranky eunuch Jang tried to neutralize his voice. " The servant faces the king."
" Why are you running around in Jang's eunuch palace? Don't you know, it's against palace rules."
" Pardon the noble servant, Servant only fear that the servant is late, and the noble is gone."
" Okay, but remember don't repeat!"
" Good noble, I will remember it."
" How was it, the task I gave you?"
" Oh right, I almost forgot the reason I ran - ran like that, because I wanted to immediately tell you the shocking news of this glorious palace."
Hearing the words of Eunuch Jang, the king raised one eyebrow and waited for the next word to be thrown from the mouth of eunuch Jang.
" His Majesty will definitely not believe what I am about to say. Because at first the servant also did not believe when he heard from the lady that I asked, until the servant decided to question some of the ladies and also the palace guard who was gossiping. Finally I believe because I asked the trusted source, the head chef of the palace."
The king further frowned upon hearing the explanation from Eunuch Jang, which he thought made him even more dizzy.
" What do you mean Eunuch Jang, tell me straight to the point?"
" Mmmm, that noble consort said last night go to the palace kitchen and cook food."
"Haha." The king laughed at the explanation from Eunuch Jang. " Are you kidding me?"
" Truly the servant did not lie, at first the servant also did not believe when he heard it. Hence the servant asked directly to the head chef of the palace, regarding the news that was circulating in this palace."
" And that's justified by the head chef. Even the head chef himself praised the queen's cooking, he said the queen's cooking was very good even he had just eaten the delicious food for the first time. And said the head chef of the palace menu of food cooked by the empress of a new type of cuisine, that he did not know that there are foods that can be as delicious as that.
" Hmm." The king cleared his throat and gulped his saliva trying to digest the words of Eunuch Jang who he thought was coyol and immediately neutralized his voice.
" Well you're doing a very good job."
The king then patted - patting the back of Eunuch Jang. And continue his journey. Eunuch Jang still silently pecked because it was patted on his shoulder by the king, the moment finally eunuch Jang realized and smiled satisfiedly displaying a row of white teeth and also felt proud of himself, because he did a very good job. Then eunuch Jang began to catch up with the king who had gone before him. And immediately docked to the row of maids occupy his position behind the king with the king's bodyguard Park so joon.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
While at the empress' residence, seen the main lady of Park who has evaporated his emotions to Rani and also Go jang mi.
They were like children being scolded by their mother. It's been almost an hour since Park's main lady nagged and repeated the words. And it makes their ears feel hot.
" How is it possible, the noble came to the palace kitchen and cooked his own food. And you're also Go jang mi why would you let the empress do such a thing?"
" Pardon Park's main servant, I have tried to prevent her majesty's consort and forbid her but what is the power of a servant who is a maid." Go jang mi tried to explain with her sad face.
" Had been Park's main lady, you've been nagging for almost an hour and keep repeating your words. Aren't you tired? We who heard it were tired."
" Go jang mi is innocent, she just obeyed my orders. I know you're just worried about me. Now I'm here, and I'm fine. So stop scolding Go jang mi."
" Your highness." Said Go jang mi moved that the empress defended herself.
" Okay, forgive your noble servant." Park's main daydream.
" All right, you two come closer to me."
The main dayang Park and Go jang mi also complied and approached the empress.
" Here, if it's far away!"
The main dayang Park and Go jang mi were just mutually lyrics, because according to them, they had sat very close to the empress. Even though there is still a distance between them.
The empress who felt anxious with her two ladies who did not come closer and even exchanged lyrics. Finally the empress stood up and drew closer to them then grabbed the shoulders of her two ladies and hugged them both.
The main dayang Park and Go jang mi also felt shocked and immediately silent sculpting.
" Thank you for being so kind to me and always worrying about me. I'm so lucky to have you both. You guys I've thought of as my own family, so from now on eliminate your awkwardness towards me and be informal when there's only three of us." Rani whispered in the ears of her two ladies.
Then Rani took off her embrace and sat back down on her layover. While both of his maids were still silent, unable to believe what their lord had just done.
The sound from behind the door blew the atmosphere of silence in the presence of the empress.
" Your highness, Dayang Jung of the court of the queen mother comes to face."
" Please come in." Rani immediately adjusted her appearance and sitting position.
" Drr." The door sounds open.
Seen a ladyboy who might be the same age as the main lady of Park, walked closer to the empress and saluted. The empress then nodded accepting the lady's salute. And let him sit.
" Absolutely not, I happen to be free. Tell me what you need to see me?"
" The servant was sent to deliver a message by the queen mother, that the noble consort was told to visit her residence."
" Alright I get it, you go first! I'll be right up with my ladies."
" If so, servant retreat noble consort." Dayang Jung saluted and left the empress' residence.
The queen hurried to leave her residence with her ladies and gentlemen to the house of the queen mother. Arriving at the queen mother's residence, the empress immediately saluted and sat opposite the queen mother.
" Hey, bad girl, do you know why I called you here?" Shouted the queen mother while kneeling her temple.
The Empress shook her head in a sign she didn't know why the queen called her.
" How dare you cook food in the palace kitchen, and share it with the ladies and the chefs of the palace." Shouted the queen mother, then paused her speech.
The Empress was really scared of the Queen mother's rampage. He had already begun to prepare - ready if the queen mother would punish him. The empress just lowered her head not daring to raise her head.
" Rather than giving it to me, I wanted to taste it too. Said your cooking ladies really good." The queen mother.
Hearing the words of the queen mother just now who was not angry with him, Ranipun breathed a sigh of relief. And began to raise his head and face the queen mother.
" Pardon the noble servant, I do not mean not to share it with the queen mother."
" When you do, make me something good. I'm really curious about your cooking, because the ladies are endlessly praising you. It makes me want to eat it too."
the empress smiled "It is with great pleasure."
Now that Rani is in the kitchen of the palace, Rani has told the head chef that her arrival this time kedapur palace, is to make food for the queen mother. And Rani had already asked the head chef to prepare the groceries she needed.
First - the empress asked the head chef for help to make her noodles, because in this joseon era there was no instant noodles, so if you want to cook noodles, you have to make them first, you have to make them, it was very draining and complicated according to Rani. So he left it to his experts.
Then Rani also asked the maids to chop the beef until smooth, because here of course there is no meat grinder machine.
Rani felt salute with the chefs who had to prepare food in this palace, it must be very heavy. They cook manually. Which is really draining energy and also takes a long time.
Meat that has been mashed, seasoned and mixed with tapioca flour, after mixing well, Rani forms small circles with her hands, Rani, then he spoons and put it into boiling water.
The chefs and palace attendants who helped cook were confused, because they did not know what their master would cook. Because they just follow the direction of the empress.
After cooking for a long time, until now it's time to be pleating. Rani took a bowl and then she gave a filling of noodles, and cesin that had been cut small, small, then he put meat balls into the bowl and then he flush with the sauce he had made. Then on top Rani sprinkled fried onions and celery leaves.
" I'll bring this food to the queen mother, the rest you can eat. But remember to leave a serving for me!" Ranipun chuckled with his own words.
" Good noble." Saut the ladies and the palace chef who helped Rani cook, together.
The queen mother was already sitting on her throne, being treated to a bowl of food that Rani had just cooked. The queen mother looked at the food in front of her with a strange look. This time, he saw a food like this.
" What is the name of this food? I just saw it."
" Her majesties meatballs."
" It smells so good, just smelling it makes my stomach rumble." Said the queen mother while rubbing her stomach.
" How do I eat it whether I should mix this sambal and soy sauce, into the meatballs." The queen mother pointed to the sambal and soy sauce that were next to the meatball bowl.
" Right, your majesty. Actually it would be even better, if added with saos, but in this kingdom there is not yet. So I made it with potluck."
The queen mother of mangut - mangut, and immediately mix soy sauce and sambal into the meatball sauce and then eat it.
The face of the queen mother immediately sparkled - a twinkle as soon as she put the spoon containing the first meatballs into her mouth. Then the queen mother immediately returned to feed the meatballs into her mouth until the toilet was not left in the bowl.
" How do you make food as delicious and as delicious as this empress? I really did eat food like this for the first time."
Rani responds to the Queen mother's question with a smile, as she is also confused about how to explain it to the queen mother. It is impossible if he says this is Indonesian food. And if the queen asks what is indonesia? It will be a long story.
" Prime minister Kim is really very good at educating you. I guess you're just good at art you're even good at cooking too."
" The Queen was too complimentary."
" You are too humble empress, your heart is too weak you are so good, and never discriminate - distinguish someone. I hear you always treat your ladies well. You don't even hesitate to help them with their work. You always make me proud of you."
" Unlike a person, who is arrogant and always feels himself the highest. To be willing to do vile things and slander someone to attract the sympathy of a man." Said the queen mother while glancing towards the king who was sitting next to the empress.

When the empress returned from the palace kitchen while bringing her freshly cooked food. It turned out that in the residence of the queen mother, there was already a king who was coming to visit.
Flas******** back off#
The king who felt the queen mother was insinuating the great concubine became a little angry because the queen mother compared - compare the great concubine with the empress. But he could only shut up and smile wryly.
The king and empress were outside the queen mother's residence, they finally decided to withdraw from the ibusur residence, where they were staying, after chatting quite a lot with the queen mother about the birthday celebration of the queen mother who will be held soon. And the queen mother requested that the queen prepare the main menu for the feast on her birthday. Because the queen mother really likes the queen's cooking. Getting such a big mandate from the queen mother, certainly makes the empress nervous and also of course feel happy.
" How good is your food? Until you gained such great trust from the queen mother." King's ejek.
The queen who was lazy to argue and serve the king just shrugged her shoulders and left the king.
Treated like that, obviously the king was getting angry and furious with the behavior of the empress, who now seemed indifferent to him and also seemed cold.
" It's brave that the queen treated me like this. I am the king of this land, there is really no price in his eyes."
" Kyruuuk"
The king immediately held onto his stomach which was aching from feeling hungry. Actually from earlier the king was holding his hunger because tempted by the food of the queen mother cooked by the empress. From the fragrance alone has made the king feel hungry and want to eat it. But because of the prestige of the king finally held back his hunger.
" Eunuch Jang, quickly order the palace chef to prepare me a meal! I'm hungry, I'm gonna eat it in my house."
