Chapter 44 "What do you think of me?"...
Yun Kui couldn't swim and had never stayed in the water for so long. Her whole body felt light and weak, and her limbs floated on the water like overgrown vines. To find some support, she could only cling tightly to him.
"He probably wouldn't mind if we bumped into each other somewhere at this time."
"But you made me stay!"
Yun Kui's soft hand rested on his waist, her fingertips gently rubbing against his warm, firm abdominal muscles.
His Highness the Crown Prince was not like those burly men who could easily get their hands covered in mud with just a little rubbing.
His skin was pale and cool, making him appear much cleaner and more refined than the average man. His slight obsession with cleanliness kept him constantly clean, and he also bathed and burned incense daily. His robes were meticulously washed and cared for by hundreds of people in the laundry department, ensuring that not even the hem of his robes would have a single wrinkle. Naturally, his body was always spotless.
This is the kind of man who tastes delicious with every bite.
However, the water was not as dry as it is now, and my fingertips slipped and slid downwards, which is how I unexpectedly encountered the young prince.
Her palms trembled uncontrollably. Hesitantly, before she could fully cover her mouth to wash, the man's breathing grew heavier and more intense, his tongue pressing heavily against her palate.
Yun Kui was already dizzy from his kisses, and now that her whole body was enveloped in the pool water, she was like a floating duckweed, completely dependent on him.
The man's rough palms pressed tightly against her delicate softness, feeling every tiny tremor. In the end, he couldn't resist her urge to wash him again and again, so he grabbed her lower back and lifted her up.
Suddenly, her legs were suspended in mid-air. She cried out in fright, and the already slippery bottom of the pool where her feet couldn't get a firm footing was now only filled with warm water.
A wave of ethereal and helpless feeling washed over her, forcing her to wrap her arms around his neck.
Their eyes met, and a deep desire lurked in the man's dark eyes. "Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"
Yun Kui felt as if a painful and numb vein in her body was being pressed tightly, causing her to involuntarily tense up even the back of her foot.
She took a deep breath, her cheeks already flushed, "I didn't mean to serve you..."
The Crown Prince smirked: "You come and go as you please, you're quite audacious."
The soft, limp little girl in his hands was no heavier than a weapon. He had been holding back for too long and was itching to deal with her. He used some force in his arm to slowly lift her up. He had already seen the position before, so it wasn't hard to find.
The moment she was touched, her whole body arched violently, her fingertips gripping his shoulders tightly, and sobs escaped her throat.
"That thumb ring and the young prince... are truly incomparable."
Even though it was only a slow process of getting to know each other, she had already completely lost her composure. She simply couldn't imagine how His Highness the Crown Prince could possibly succeed with such a mismatched approach.
Although she had seen quite a lot in her dreams, she didn't look closely at that place because of her shame. However, sometimes when the scene was too intense, she could still see the vague outline when it was used.
As for the pictures in the album, I looked at them carefully, but none of them could compare to His Highness the Crown Prince, a dragon among men.
It was like swimming underwater, her body crashing into a hard rock, the blood gushing out spreading in the waves, making her gasp in pain.
Before long, she was struggling and her face was covered in tears, her moist lips bitten until they were red.
"Waaaaaahhhhh!"
Even the usually composed Crown Prince had beads of sweat on his forehead. It wasn't difficult for him, but he was afraid of hurting her because it was his first time doing it, especially since her moans and groans were extremely noisy.
His breathing became heavy, and his back was covered in sweat before he finally managed to get her to sit down. The girl even bit his shoulder.
The crown prince gritted his teeth and glared at her, his eyes dark and brooding.
Gradually, the inner turmoil she felt began to be expressed through her lips and teeth.
My mind went blank, I lost the ability to think, and I could only release my emotions through the instinctive crying and screaming of my body.
The crown prince studied military strategy from a young age, but no military book taught him how to back down. Often, the more the enemy clamored, the more determined he became, vowing to strike at the heart of the enemy's stronghold.
De Shun, with great tact, withdrew, leaving only two palace maids guarding the door.
The two palace maids exchanged a glance, their cheeks flushed, and they listened with trepidation.
How dare anyone lose their composure like this in front of His Highness the Crown Prince?
It made it seem as if His Highness the Crown Prince was torturing her.
These servants always behaved with utmost care and caution in front of the Crown Prince, never daring to utter a sound for fear of irritating him. Yet this palace maid who served him in bed was so... lawless.
They were even afraid that if His Highness the Crown Prince got angry, he would make her unable to speak again.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the water clock reached her ears, and in the distance, she seemed to hear the sound of fireworks exploding, which mingled with the surging waves on the water. Yun Kui's body also trembled violently.
After a long while, my consciousness slowly returned, and I realized it was Chinese New Year.
She was officially promoted, transforming from a nominal palace maid to a true palace maid.
The process was far from pleasant; the juicy lychees were mashed into a paste, and the overflowing juice became her tears.
Yun Kui lay limply on his shoulder, her hoarse voice whimpering and barely audible.
"Picture books are all lies, dreams are all lies, it's not enjoyable at all! It's not good at all!"
Hearing her heartfelt lament, the Crown Prince frowned deeply.
From childhood to adulthood, he has studied, practiced martial arts, and fought in battles. He has accomplished everything he set his mind to, yet today he is being disliked by a little girl like this.
He was somewhat embarrassed, bit her earlobe with his teeth, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think of me?"
Yun Kui shrugged her shoulders in pain and stammered reluctantly, "Your Highness is mighty and mighty."
"...bullshit."
The prince clenched his teeth and let out a deep breath.
The pool water was no longer suitable for washing, so he ordered people to prepare fresh water and thoroughly wash the filth off the two of them. Then, he wrapped the soft-legged crab tightly from head to toe in a large sleeping robe and carried him back to the bedroom.
Yun Kui was in so much pain that she couldn't straighten her back, and her limbs were weak and powerless. It was obvious that her waist and the area around her ankles must be completely red.
"Waaah, I never want him to hug me again!"
"I'll never again get the urge to touch those abs!"
The Crown Prince couldn't understand it at all. He was in control of everything, and she hadn't done anything, yet she was suffering more than him.
Yun Kui sobbed and hid under the covers, curling herself up into a ball with her back to him.
After crying her fill and calming down for a while, she heard the sporadic sounds of fireworks and firecrackers outside. Remembering Cao Yuanlu's words, she bit her lip, turned around, and slowly moved closer to him. However, because of the lingering fear from her recent experience, she dared not get too close.
"Your Highness, it's the New Year."
The girl's soft, low voice brushed against his eardrums, and the moment her smooth, snow-white skin touched him, he was reminded of the enchanting scene in the clean room just now.
The prince swallowed hard, suppressing the desire hidden deep in his eyes, and asked slowly, "Do you like celebrating the New Year?"
Yun Kui nodded. "Of course."
Every year on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, the palace would bestow rewards. After the New Year's Eve banquet, the Imperial Kitchen could also take a short break, and the palace servants who did odd jobs could take turns resting.
Most importantly, I'm another year older and a year closer to leaving the palace, so how could I not be happy?
When the Crown Prince heard the words "leave the palace" in her mind, his expression darkened slightly.
Unexpectedly, that delicate and soft body pressed against him, carefully hugging his arm, "Your Highness."
The prince lowered his gaze and saw her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with tiny lights, her cherry-red lips moving as she said, word by word, "May you be happy every year and may everything go as you wish."
The Crown Prince's long-dormant heart suddenly stirred slightly.
The word "joy" is too illusory and distant, as if it has always been contrary to his own.
He doesn't have the habit of staying up all night on New Year's Eve. He spends every New Year's Eve and New Year's Day alone. Even at the beginning of the new year, he doesn't feel that it's any more special than any other time of the year.
The palace servants below dared not speak to him in such a manner, while the court officials and soldiers under his command mostly offered flattery and politeness, though their true intentions varied.
He was an anomaly in this world; countless people coveted his status as crown prince and dreamed of making him die a horrible death.
He has come this far through countless hardships and betrayals.
Unexpectedly, on New Year's Day that year, someone nestled softly beside him, their eyes clear and bright, without any impurities, and said to him, "May you be happy every year, and may everything go as you wish."
He remained silent for a long time, then suddenly remembered something and looked at her with a half-smile: "How many guards have you said this to?"
