Eunuch Gao arrived and declared His Majesty’s decree. Consort Mei was shocked and flustered.

She couldn’t believe that this matter has actually alarmed His Majesty.

“Why are you all asking me for him? Do you think that Li Yao is still here even after he received his reward? Yang Momo, go and take a look.” Consort Mei glanced at Yang Momo meaningfully.

Yang Momo nodded understandingly and disappeared into the back room.

Ye Jiayao still has her mouth covered but she didn’t bother struggling. It would be better for her to save her energy.

“Today, on the account of the Crown Prince, Consort Mei will pardon you temporarily for your impudence. If you dare spout nonsense after you leave, Consort Mei can claim your life anytime,” Yang Momo warns. “Do you understand?”

Ye Jiayao nodded.

Yang Momo gestured for the two Eunuchs to release her.

Ye Jiayao massaged her aching wrists and said, “Please have Consort Mei rest assured that a commoner like me only wants to live life peacefully. If no one offends me, I won’t offend anyone.”

Yang Momo’s jaw almost dropped. This little chef was too savage. She wanted to throw out a few more threats but the thought of His Majesty waiting made her swallow them back in.

“Remember, Consort Mei has already released you a long time ago. You are delayed by the palace maids in Zhao Hua palace hall who ask you for pointers in pastries.”

Ye Jiayao sneered silently. They’ve detained her and now they wanted to help her with their lies?  Fat chance.

She nodded dutifully and slipped out of that godforsaken place.

“Yaoyao, are you alright? Are you hurt?” Helian Jing asked with concern when he saw Yaoyao come out.

“No. However, if you guys were a little later…” Ye Jiayao trailed off distastefully. The females in this palace were all turning out to be just rich brats.

Eunuch Gao said, “Head Chef Li, His Majesty personally appointed you today to prepare his lunch. Please follow me to the imperial kitchen!”

Ye Jiayao gaped at him. She was going to what?

I don’t even know what my life is right now.

Helian Jing chimed in encouragingly, “Yaoyao, this is your chance! Go for it!”

Ye Jiayao nodded vigorously. She would pull out all her special skills and pour everything she has into this meal. She would make a meal that His Majesty would not forget.

She squared her shoulders and followed Eunuch Gao to the imperial kitchen.

The moment she stepped foot in the imperial kitchen, Ye Jiayao nearly burst into tears.  Oh, my God! This kitchen is so huge! And so many chefs! This is amazing!

Eunuch Gao brought her straight to the innermost row of the building and said, “This is the kitchen where His Majesty’s meals are made.”

An imperial chef immediately bounded over to Eunuch Gao. “Eunuch Gao, what are His Majesty’s orders?”

Eunuch Gao replied, “You can take a rest today, Head Chef Lu. His Majesty has personally appointed Head Chef Li to make his lunch.”

He continued, “This is Head Chef Lu who is personally in charge of His Majesty’s meals. This is Heavenly Residence’s Head Chef Li Yao.”
