Genius Ninth Princess

Chapter 47

She picks up her bowl of rice and with her chopstick, she placed a piece of meat into her bowl. Laying the chopsticks down, she then used the spoon to eat. But then something astounding happened.

The meat was as hard as steel. She quickly digests the rice and began chewing on the meat. She couldn't chew it. She used a napkin to spit out the meat. Yin Yun looked at Fu Ling and Fu Ling looked back.

"Mistress, is the food not to your liking?"

Not wanting to hurt Fu Ling's feelings, she smiled and said, "It's hard to chew."

"The meat's hard to chew?" Fu Ling was surprised. Her culinary skill was known among the servants and sometimes, even those Imperial Chefs come asking for advice in private. Hearing that the meat she cooked was hard to chew, it came as a shock to her.

Picking up a pair of chopsticks, she ate the meat from the same dish that Yin Yun chose. The fine tenderness of the meat made Fu Ling question Yin Yun.

"Mistress, the meat's just fine."

When Yin Yun saw how Fu Ling had eaten the meat so easily, it surprised her.

"How could it be like that?" She picked up another meat into her mouth and as expected, the meat's hard as steel. Yin Yin spat that one out on a napkin as well. The moment she did so, she heard a ding sound.

Ding!

Not qualified to eat.

Yin Yun jumped a bit at the sudden appearance of the words. Looking at Fu Ling, she pointed at the screen of words, "Do you see this?"

At this point, Fu Ling got emotional. "Mistress, did you contacted a mental illness? You're not able to chew the meat and now you're seeing things."

Shocked by how Fu Ling thought of her, Yin Yun hurried to explain, "I'm not crazy... maybe the heat's just getting to me."

Since there was no use trying to explain any further, Yin Yun sent a glare at the lines of words. She can say for certain that the reason for Fu Ling's food being so hard to chew was certainly not because of her cooking skills but something else.

Yin Yun reached for the wonton soup dish and placed it in front of her. Dipping the spoon in the dish, she scooped up some of the water and drank it. What followed after was a stream of liquid being spat out.

The soup tasted so bitter that she couldn't swallow it. Yin Yun heard a ding sound again, she looks up to find that new words replaced the old.

Ding!

Not qualified to drink.
Learn skills?

And below the words were a yes and no box.

Ok, so for some people who don't know the dishes and would like to know what it looks like, here are the pictures:)
They're in order like how I wrote them. Oh, and the picture at the top is how the words appeared. The yes and no box only appears when it's giving Yin Yun an option.

I apologize for the long update time. I was actually planning to update 10 chapters today but my little brother was playing on my phone and when I got my phone back, I saw that my draft for chapters 47-56 was gone so I just rewrote this chapter yesterday and updated it today.
