11 Chapter 11

'F*** this! Am not cooking mama!' Meiyi complained but, she unwillingly had to obey and said "Yes, your majesty, it is a honor for me to be serving you everyday.." 'my ass!'

Meiyi elegantly walked towards the kitchen, while Feng Tianxiao followed her. On their way, he ordered 10 different delicacies and 20 dishes for dinner.

Each step Meiyi took made her feel heavier and heavier as she carried in her memory, using the memory palace technique to memorize every single dishes he ordered. She remembered having learnt that trick from her very good friend, at university and this method simply consists of visualizing a space, for example, a room, or a house, or maybe even a garden and simply walked step by step, from a door to the end of the room, by placing objects, in this case, dishes, and the more creative someone is, when placing the dishes and making them stand out, the better it is for the user to memorize everything.

Once Meiyi reached the kitchen door, she revisualize the room she created in her mind and started by preparing for every dishes. She started by preparing his 10 bowls of Ginger milk pudding and with the help of a few cooks, she managed to prepare them in a few minutes.

Chef Chi, who was in charge of the palace kitchen was at first unwilling to let the empress cook as he had never ever seen her entered the kitchen even once and unlike other concubines, she was the princess of another kingdom, which made is unlikely for her to know how to cook. But with the mighty emperor sitting besides them, he could only comply and peel the gingers.

However, once he saw the delicacies produced by this pair of delicate hands, he was in awe and wishes she could be his master and teach him a few recipe.

After making his delicacies, she started to plan out his dinner and asked the chefs to prepare the ingredients while she rests. But she suddenly remembers the dough and her custard filling.

At that time, the dough was already ready to be filled with custard and in a blink of an eye, several small buns were already made and ready to be cooked.

Feng Tianxiao who was enjoying his 7th bowl wondered where did his wife learn how to cook as she was the reknown princess of Kingdom Lan and royal families mostly never learn how to cook, especially favored princesses. Maybe she wasn't as favored as the rumors said and since she was the daughter of an imperial consort and a princess among dozens, she might have maybe leaved a life, far more difficult than what the rumors said.However, that did not explain how was she capable of cooking so much dishes in a limited amount of time and coordinate each chefs of the imperial kitchen perfectly.

She seemed to be more efficient than those lazy ministers who only think of gaining benefit for themselves and what was strange was that she always acts silly and dumb.

After her buns were put inside a bamboo box, she steamed the buns and prepared to cook the 20 dishes for dinner.

Even if Meiyi's face was all smiley and happy to cook for the emperor, she was in fact desperate as she now became a cooking wifey!
