Anyway, that matter should be set aside for now. What was he talking about?
Not managing the servants well.. Are you referring to Princess Pan?
The corridors were now deserted after those girls left. Li Yong stopped when he heard Yui is question.
Ah, no, thats not what I ant. Rather than talking about that, we should go talk to the Head Chef at the kitchen, right?
Well, thats right.
If they didnt hurry, the preparations for the evening al would soon begin. Yui i was bothered about what Li Yong said, but they had a goal, so they strode towards the kitchen.
Pardon the intrusion, may we take so of your ti?
She called out to a young chef washing vegetables beside the well near the kitchen.
Daring to show up in this place, city-breds really are so shaless.
The chef glared at them, but Yui i just ignored him and continued on.
We ca because of work, is the Head Chef currently here?
The Head Chef is very busy, he doesnt have the ti to deal with city-breds that are just ssing around.
Yui i thought again, huh when he curtly retorted.
This was the second ti they t with this chef.
The first ti was during the banquet, when she ca to inquire about Princess Pans al.
She was also driven away that ti after being told that outsiders shouldnt ddle.
Yui i was also bothered by being treated as a city-born person since she was a girl raised in the borderlands.
Besides, many court ladies werent born in the city, either.
However, for this snarky chef that only wanted to grumble about the guests of Princess Pan, such details did not matter.
She was still able to talk to the head chef previously, but what should she do now?
Yui i was stuck in a dilemma, when Li Yong stepped forward.
Hoh, do you an to say the Huang mansions kitchen is bothered if guests co?
The chef jumped to his feet when he heard Li Yongs words.
Who do you think you are.
Li Yong remained unfazed at the chefs intimidation.
Youre extrely bent on driving us away. So, is this kitchen hiding sothing worriso that guests arent allowed to know? Youre serving food from such a suspicious place to Lord Li Min and Her Highness the Princess this is not a small matter. We should hurry and report this to Lord Li Min.
The chef was shocked when Li Yong turned on his heel.
Nobody said anything like that! Im just saying that outsiders like you shouldnt hang around here like so self-important big shot!
Hoh, so youre treating the crown princes attendants that the princess herself acknowledged as outsiders, huh. The Grand Duke will probably rebuke Lord Li Min for his questionable training of his subordinates.
Wha, where did that co from!? Besides, theres no way your words would reach the Grand Duke in the first place!!
What nonsense, we are currently acting as the crown princes deputies. Of course, sothing like sending word to Grand Duke Huang is a re childs play.
Yui i was left behind while the two engaged in a verbal sword-play, and it seed that Li Yong had the upper hand.
The chef was cornered by Li Yong, when all he wanted was to find fault in these city guests that he didnt like.
However, it turned into questioning Li Mins integrity, so his face turned purple with rage.
Even if this land held the emperor in contempt, there was no way a chef would be greater than a royalty.
Anybody would of course grit his teeth in this case
Hey, how in the world did Lord Li Min do his personnel selection?
Yui i felt a headache coming from this situation.
Too noisy, shut yer mouths!
An angry voice echoed from inside, and a short and stout man erged from the kitchen.
This man was the head chef of this mansion.
The head chef intervened when Yui i was almost beaten by this chef in his irritation last ti.
He said that Chefs dont raise their hands except when cooking!
It seed that the chef was about to be scolded again, so he was in a fluster as he tried to reason out.
But Head Chef, this outsiders
Theres no outsider or insider in cooking!
However, the head chef slamd his words down.
If you wanna keep on being a chef, then go move your hands, quit wagging your tongue!
Blabbermouths aint needed in here! Youre taking your sweet ti, you done washing em vegetables!?
The Head chef glared daggers at the chef, who then scowled for a mont.
Thats because these outsiders..
He spat those words, then he picked up the basket of the vegetables he finished washing, before scurrying into the kitchen.
The head chef bowed deeply to Yui i and Li Yong.
Sorry for that, you guys. Since His Highness the Crown Prince ca, its been tough dealing with those restless bastards.
It must have been hard on you.
Yui i could sympathize with the head chef from the bottom of her heart.
However, they must leave this be, and discuss the important matter they ca here for.
And so, they entered the kitchen, and started talking while looking at the ingredients.
