Good news, she was chosen as a palace maid for the sleeping quarters. Bad news: she has to serve the unpredictable and uninterested Crown Prince. Last night, Yun Kui personally saw a young palace m...
Chapter 54 Remember the key points
Yun Kui was extremely embarrassed and wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
"How come he always catches me talking nonsense!"
Granny Yan was overjoyed, never expecting that His Highness the Crown Prince would personally come to see her in the inner chambers. She quickly bowed and greeted him.
The Crown Prince stepped forward and helped the woman up, saying, "Granny, you may rise."
Granny Yan: "Has His Highness's injury fully healed?"
The Crown Prince said, "I am fine, don't worry, Granny."
Granny Yan nodded. "Your Highness's position is extremely dangerous; you must always be careful in the future."
The Crown Prince nodded. "How is your health, Granny?"
“He’s doing well,” Granny Yan said, her eyes reddening. “It’s just that I always feel a pang of regret, afraid that one day I’ll pass away and not see His Highness marry, have children, and ascend the throne…”
The crown prince said helplessly, "No, that won't happen."
Granny Yan took his words as a guarantee and asked, "Does Your Highness have a favorite young lady?"
The prince remained silent, his gaze unconsciously glancing at Yun Kui, that carefree girl who was still secretly looking in the mirror and fiddling with her hair.
He calmly withdrew his gaze, "Don't worry, Granny, I have my own plan."
Granny Yan was a very shrewd person; with just one glance, she sensed something unusual.
She had witnessed her prince's temper over the years. Whether they were virtuous and talented ladies from noble families or gentle and kind-hearted girls from humble backgrounds, none of them had ever been taken seriously by him. As long as he disliked someone, no matter how good their family background was, or no matter how much someone tried to persuade him, he would not listen to them at all.
How formidable is His Highness! Even the princesses of Emperor Chunming and the daughters of the Grand Secretary are all respectful and timid in his presence. Only this palace maid who serves him in bed looks timid and hesitant, but every time she mentions His Highness, she is all smiles and shy.
He's only had this one girl by his side all these years. If he didn't like her, why would he keep her to serve him personally? For the first twenty years, Chengguang Palace didn't even have a single palace maid who could get close to him, yet this one seems to want to stay in Chengguang Palace every night to serve him.
That's why they couldn't rest easy when she came to learn how to comb hair, so they went out of their way to pick her up.
They weren't really there to see this old woman.
Granny Yan recalled that the late Emperor and Empress Huigong were also a loving couple. Whenever the late Emperor was in the Qianqing Palace, Empress Huigong would never ask anyone else to help him with his daily dressing and hair styling. No matter how busy the late Emperor was with official duties, he would always come to dine with the Empress. Whenever he returned from a campaign, he would not even have time to take off his armor before going to see the Empress as soon as possible...
The Crown Prince listened to her thoughts with pursed lips, and after a long silence, said, "Granny, please rest early. I will take the person away first."
Granny Yan snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded, "Yes."
The crown prince turned and left, and Yun Kui quickly packed her things and followed him.
Granny Yan watched the two figures from afar and sighed inwardly.
If it weren't for the knowledge that she had an unfortunate childhood and spent six or seven years in the palace, how could such a beautiful woman with bright eyes, white teeth, snow-white skin, and flower-like face be born into an ordinary family?
Judging solely by appearance, she is an extremely suitable match for Your Highness. Even if their social status is lower, it doesn't matter. As long as Your Highness is pleased, in the future...
Seeing that beautiful little face, Granny Yan felt a vague sense of familiarity, and finally, at this moment, she suddenly remembered a name.
But how could that be? There are too many people in the world who look alike. How could people who are completely unrelated have any blood relation?
As Yun Kui followed the Crown Prince out, she sensed that his expression was somewhat unpleasant. After thinking about it, she felt it was necessary to clear her name.
"Your Highness, I only said that to please Granny Yan. She is eagerly awaiting your little prince. I did not mean it that way myself."
Actually, I've been thinking about it a little too.
The Crown Prince was pulled back to his senses by her address of "Your Highness," only to realize that the "Your Highness" she referred to was the real Your Highness, not... The ancients said that one is influenced by one's company, and this was indeed not without reason.
He replied with a brief "Mm," and his expression quickly returned to normal.
But Yun Kui was confused.
"What does 'hmm' mean? Should we try it tonight or not?"
After having her meal and washing up, Yun Kui returned to the warm pavilion of Chengguang Palace.
Now she is a frequent visitor to Chengguang Hall. With the Crown Prince's permission, Cao Yuanlu specially set aside an east-facing warm pavilion for her in the hall. This way, she can not only be summoned at any time, but also have her own space. She is not as restrained as before when she moves around in Chengguang Hall, and whatever she does will not affect the Crown Prince's handling of official business in the hall.
More importantly, the box of storybooks that we bought was really an eyesore on the Crown Prince's desk, but it was just right to put in her warm chamber.
No one would come in to disturb her in the warm chamber, so while the prince was taking a bath, she secretly took out the store's prized possession to look at it.
In fact, she had secretly looked at it many times in the past few days. During her period, she always had an inexplicable restlessness, as if she was more greedy for His Highness's body than usual. However, she knew that she could not be provoked casually while menstruating, so she could only look at the store's treasure to comfort herself.
Yun Kui took a liking to some simple poses that didn't require much effort from her, or movements that looked strenuous but could still bring her joy.
After the Crown Prince had bathed, Cao Yuanlu secretly presented him with the items he had found.
"I have already purchased the two items you asked me to find."
"This ointment is used to help with lubrication. Your Highness is indeed different from ordinary men in that aspect, and it may be difficult and strenuous during intercourse. Using this ointment will be of great help."
The prince calmly accepted the item and then looked at the familiar object on the tray.
Cao Yuanlu chuckled awkwardly, "The medicine that Miss Yun Kui fed you earlier was made from this sheep intestine casing."
Seeing that his lord's expression had changed, he quickly said, "Miss, you were doing odd jobs in the kitchen before, so you naturally didn't know that this item could be used for other purposes. This item is generally used by women one or two years after giving birth, or when they are not in a hurry to have children. It seems that Your Highness does not need it right now."
The prince, recalling how she had used the sheep intestines to feed him medicine, looked away with a complicated expression. "Let's leave it for now."
Yun Kui memorized a few positions and then returned to help the Crown Prince change his clothes and go to bed.
The prince opened his arms and let her take off her robes, but all he could hear was her muttering the movements in her mind.
"Lie supine with your body bent and raised high, supported by your shoulders, your vulva open and relaxed, eight shallow thrusts and two deep thrusts..."
The crown prince's eyes were dark, and his breathing became heavier, but he couldn't reprimand her, since she was only thinking it in her heart.
She took off her outer robe, leaving only a moon-white inner garment. Yun Kui skillfully reached inside, lifted the hem, and saw that the three-inch-long wound had healed with tender new flesh. Her fingertips brushed over it, and the muscles tightened slightly, making the originally smooth and distinct lines even more deep and clear.
She liked it this way, especially knowing that His Highness the Crown Prince was easily aroused and would tense up at the slightest touch, which gave her a secret pleasure in teasing a respectable young man.
Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince is no longer as secretive as before, which suggests he has gotten used to it. Or perhaps they have developed some affection from their daily kisses and hugs, so he no longer gets angry easily when she occasionally touches him.
Yun Kui smiled and looked up at him. "Your Highness's injuries are healing very quickly. You should be able to move around freely now."
Even without saying a word, her thoughts were crystal clear.
Yun Kui saw the young prince peeking out from under his nightgown and wondered if she was seeing things. Suddenly, her waist tightened, and before she knew it, he had already picked her up in his arms.
The curtains fell, obscuring most of the candlelight in the hall.
The man's thin lips descended, slowly nibbling and grinding along her soft, moist lips, causing her to tremble slightly and her mind to go blank for a few moments.
She gripped the mattress tightly in her hands, clearly feeling the man's hot breath on her chest, leaving his mark. She was ticklish and uncomfortable, but he held her down tightly, preventing her from moving.
She knew this was preparation.
That Commissioner Shen was most skilled in this area, and he always managed to make Madam Shen infatuated and unable to extricate herself.
Yun Kui even wondered if His Highness the Crown Prince had consulted with Lord Shen. She could sense the restlessness and desire that was being deliberately suppressed, but she rarely saw him so patient, kissing and caressing her, each touch sending shivers down her spine.
Slowly regaining consciousness, she began to silently memorize the incantation she had just heard, afraid that her mind would go blank and she would remember nothing.
But just as she was reciting those two sentences, the man's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he bit down hard on her breast, causing Yun Kui to involuntarily curl up in pain.
The crown prince's eyes were dark as he surveyed the spot, then got up to retrieve his belongings.
The sudden warmth sent a shiver through her body. She didn't know what he had applied, but she felt as if she were sleeping on a waterbed, floating like a delicate flower petal.
The Crown Prince learned martial arts from a young age, and his skills were far from the fancy footwork of the young noblemen in the capital; they were real, hard-fought battles on the battlefield.
A long spear, like a dragon emerging from the sea, exudes a powerful aura. Every move carries immense force, cleaving through waves, splitting the heavens and earth, and causing sweat to fall like rain, a truly exhilarating experience.
When he made his move, a master was there to give him pointers. Although this master was also a hopeless case, he had a good grasp of theory. If he made a mistake, she would scream in her heart, saying that this was wrong and that was wrong. He listened perfunctorily and occasionally made minor adjustments based on her expression. In the end, he was satisfied.
Yun Kui's face was covered in tears, her cheeks were flushed, and she buried her head deep in the quilt.
It was an indescribable feeling; she was like a well that had been dug and dug until finally clear water was found underground.
It is something to be happy about. Although the process of digging a well is accompanied by urgency and pain, there are also many indescribable pleasures.
In my dazed state, I heard him say, "Villager, would you like to try the water from your village's well?"
She subconsciously tasted some of his finger, and whether it was just psychological or not, after all, she had put in a lot of effort, she found the well water quite sweet.
But as she slowly regained her senses and carefully considered his words, she felt as if a cold wind had blown through her brain, and she suddenly became clear-headed.
Well water?
How could he know what she was thinking!
She stared at him suspiciously, "Your Highness, you..."
The intense desire in the man's eyes subsided slightly. He glanced at her dismissively, his voice slightly hoarse: "What?"
Yun Kui strongly suspected that this person might have some kind of mind-reading ability, as he could easily see through her thoughts every time.
She stared intently at his expression, silently thinking, "You're incredibly powerful."
The man ignored him, remaining calm and composed.
Yun Kui didn't believe it and thought to herself, "I'm just kidding, you're the youngest!"
The prince raised his hand and yanked off the bedsheets. Yun Kui gasped in surprise and almost flew off the bed.
The man, expressionless, threw the stained mattress into the stove and burned it.
Yun Kui: "..."
Two palace maids tiptoed in to tidy up, and neither dared to ask how the newly laid, exquisitely brocade mattress had been burned to ashes.
After washing up, Yun Kui still felt weak in her limbs, especially her lower back, which ached terribly. She wrapped herself in the newly laid-out bedding and was about to fall asleep when the man, who had tasted the sweetness of love, relentlessly pressed against her again.
The prince swallowed hard: "Those few of your incantations, aren't there still some you haven't used yet?"
Yun Kui: !!!
