What is she implying in Chapter 33?
The Crown Prince asked, "Did Granny Yan also do your hair?"
Yun Kui nodded: "What does Your Highness think?" In the warm sunlight, the girl's grape-like eyes were clear and bright, and her soft and flawless cheeks were flushed with a light pink, like a crabapple blossoming on a branch in spring. She smiled, revealing a pair of shallow dimples. The hair rings by her ears swayed gently with her movements, and the rest of her black hair fell in front of her chest, adding to her lively and charming appearance.
The crown prince observed her calmly for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and said, "This hairstyle is everywhere; I have to comment on it every time I see someone?"
Yun Kui: "..."
"Doesn't he like it?"
Yun Kui was a little doubtful and somewhat discouraged. What she had been vaguely expecting was now like a small flame in her heart being extinguished, and the corners of her mouth slowly drooped down.
The crown prince felt a slight displeasure upon hearing her thoughts.
He didn't want her to be like those women who climbed into his bed, making wild guesses about his preferences and presumptuously dressing up in the way she thought he would like.
As usual, the evening was for a food tasting.
Yun Kui was holding her breath and lost her usual appetite for eating heartily. She only ate a couple of bites of each dish and stood aside after trying them.
"I hate His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The woman, who rarely had a moment of peace, suddenly cursed him in her heart. The Crown Prince frowned and glanced at her.
Yun Kui kept her head down, her lips drooping like the hair rings on either side, unaware that the Crown Prince was watching her, and continued to mutter to herself.
"You kissed and hugged, then immediately denied everything. What's wrong with saying something nice? Your mouth is as stubborn as a duck's and as poisonous as arsenic!"
"I'm never letting you kiss me again!"
"I won't even let you bite into the meat!"
"Get out of here, you wicked prince!"
Before Yun Kui could finish cursing in her heart, she saw the Crown Prince suddenly stand up, his tall figure looming over her and immediately blocking out all the light.
You can even feel a chilling wind coming from behind you.
She trembled, and her rabbit ears twitched. "Your Highness?"
"Why did you suddenly have this problem?"
The crown prince stared at her with a somber expression for a while, then went to his study with a stern face.
Cao Yuanlu even came over to ask her, "What's wrong, Your Highness?" She hadn't even had two bites of dinner yet.
Yun Kui didn't understand either. She had just styled her hair in a new bun and looked no different from usual. She had been behaving herself just now, but the atmosphere was just strange.
However, this person was always unpredictable, and Yun Kui was already used to it.
She guessed, "Is Your Highness suffering from a headache?"
Cao Yuanlu shook his head. "Probably not."
She was unaware that she could alleviate His Highness's headaches. If His Highness's headaches flared up, he would not only not leave, but would also want her to serve him closely.
He went to the study with such a cold face just now, clearly because he was angry about something else.
The little girl was so clueless; she had angered His Highness without even realizing it.
However, His Highness forbade anyone to talk about her headaches. The fewer people who knew, the safer she would be. Cao Yuanlu couldn't reveal this, so she pondered for a moment and said, "His Highness doesn't eat much at night, but he did eat some of the pastries you made yesterday. I think they suited His Highness's taste very well. Why don't you make some more?"
Yun Kui recalled the Crown Prince's cold gaze earlier and struggled to say, "There are so many chefs in the kitchen, and their skills are far superior to mine. If Your Highness doesn't eat what they make, why would you look favorably upon what I make?"
She didn't want to make him any snacks!
Cao Yuanlu had no choice but to coax her gently, saying, "What you make is naturally different from what you make, young lady."
Yun Kui went to the kitchen reluctantly.
Fortunately, making desserts is also a therapeutic process, especially when rolling out the dough. Imagine the dough as the annoying Crown Prince, being rolled and shaped at will in her hands, and Yun Kui will be in a great mood.
She kneaded the dough into small balls the size of a baby's fist, pressed indentations on the sides with the back of a knife, and shaped them into peaches. She brushed a thin layer of rose jam onto the tips of the peaches, then took a small amount of green dough soaked in wild vegetable juice, pressed it into the shape of peach leaves, and decorated them. The small and exquisite peach dough balls were then shaped, steamed, and a steaming basket of peach-shaped steamed buns was taken out.
Although not as exquisite as the chefs' dishes, she considered herself to be quite petite and cute, at least her appearance resembled a peach, rather than being oddly shaped.
However, she didn't just make it for the Crown Prince; she ate two herself, saved two, and then plated the remaining five for Cao Yuanlu.
When Cao Yuanlu saw the pink and tender little peach, he showed a slightly complicated expression.
Yun Kui was slightly taken aback. "Eunuch Cao, isn't this steamed bun good? It's not a longevity peach; it can be eaten anytime. Or does His Highness not eat steamed buns?"
"……no."
Cao Yuanlu looked troubled, hesitant to speak, but then thought that the young lady might have made this dessert with a deeper meaning, so he took it directly to the study.
As the Crown Prince was reviewing the reports submitted by his secret guards over the past few days, Cao Yuanlu seized the opportunity to step forward and asked, "Your Highness has eaten too little tonight, would you like some refreshments?"
The crown prince didn't even look up: "No need, take it away."
Cao Yuanlu clenched the tray in his hand, and finally placed the basket of peach-shaped steamed buns where the Crown Prince could catch a glimpse of them out of the corner of his eye.
"Look over here, look over here, look over here quickly..."
The Crown Prince rarely heard him so indignant, and his face darkened as he angrily said, "I said withdraw..."
Before the words were even finished, a basket of pink peach-shaped steamed buns suddenly came into view.
The prince's pupils contracted slightly, and he was momentarily stunned, a rare sight indeed.
But they quickly realized that this dessert was probably the work of that little yellow girl.
Is she trying to please him?
Or... is it hinting at something?
The crown prince closed his eyes, trying to calm his mind and continue reading the reports, but his mind was already filled with distractions, and the words passed by without being truly understood; he simply couldn't concentrate on them anymore.
He pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice low and deep: "Did she do this?"
Cao Yuanlu hurriedly replied, "Yes."
The prince's gaze fell on the pink tip of the steamed bun, and he finally couldn't resist reaching out to take it, but for a moment he didn't know where to start eating it.
Finally, I took a bite from the very tip of the peach.
She really knows how to brush rose petal jam on peach-shaped steamed buns.
However, it wasn't bad to eat. It had a sweet and soft texture with a faint rose fragrance that lingered on the lips and teeth. It was also soft to the touch, and he couldn't help but squeeze it.
With just that one squeeze, the soft, bouncy sensation from his fingertips reminded him of those absurdities in the dark of night.
Especially the shape of this peach...
The prince's eyes darkened slightly, and the veins on the back of his pale hands bulged as his thoughts wavered.
If she was really implying something, then the way she did it was far too vulgar and obscene!
How could he be such a lustful and debauched person?
A moment later, the Crown Prince closed the report and stepped out of the study with a sullen face.
He wanted to see what she was up to!
After steaming the small buns, Yun Kui simply went back to the side hall to rest. Anyway, the Crown Prince was still in the study, with Cao Yuanlu serving him, so he didn't need her at the moment.
Who knows, he might suddenly get angry today and refuse to let her serve him in bed?
Yun Kui lay on the bed, munching on a peach-shaped steamed bun while pulling out a fire-avoidance diagram hidden under the mattress to study.
After all, things are different now. His Highness the Crown Prince is kissing and hugging her now, but who knows when he might pull her into a passionate lovemaking session.
Based on her previous experiences, she realized that although she had perfect theoretical knowledge, her practical skills were limited. She always surrendered easily, just like the Crown Prince said, like a spineless crab... If she was like this after just a kiss, it would be even worse in the future. Wouldn't she be severely suppressed by him? She couldn't be so cowardly!
In short, there's no harm in learning more!
However, as soon as she turned to the second page, the peach-shaped steamed bun in Yun Kui's mouth suddenly lost its appeal.
This, this...
The woman's breasts in the painting look remarkably like the steamed bun in her hand!
It really looks alike, and the next page still shows the same resemblance.
She never expected this when she did it! She even felt that her skills had improved.
Yun Kui felt her blood rush to her head and her whole body break out in a sweat.
Can Your Highness tell?
If he saw that plate of peach-shaped steamed buns, what would he think? Would he have impure thoughts? Would he think she was trying to curry favor?
Yun Kui found herself unable to calm down at all, and rolled around on the bed in discomfort.
Aaaaaaahhhhh!
My feelings were truly indescribable; a mix of immense embarrassment and unspeakable shyness, and even a faint anticipation of seeing His Highness the Crown Prince's reaction.
Will he get angry? Will he bite her like he did in the morning?
Yun Kui stroked the small red mark below her collarbone, imagining the man's cool lips pressed against it, his hot breath falling on it, his teeth biting down, that tingling yet painful feeling... it was simply... enough to make her heart pound and her blood boil.
Yun Kui was so embarrassed that she covered her head and face with the blanket and couldn't help but scream twice.
Before she could fully calm down, she heard Deshun knocking on the door from outside. "Is Miss asleep? His Highness the Crown Prince is looking for you! Please get ready and go quickly."
Yun Kui's forehead vein throbbed, and she immediately sat up in bed.
After a quick wash, she was stumped by her hair bun. Taking it off and recombing it would be too much trouble, and besides, she thought it looked cute. Why not just leave it as it was? Anyway, the Crown Prince's anger might not be because of this, so she decided to trust Granny Yan one more time.
The prince sat on the couch and turned a couple of pages of a book when he saw the maid still wearing her hair in a drooping bun. She tiptoed in from outside and didn't even dare to raise her head when she saw him. She bowed respectfully with her eyes lowered.
He sneered coldly, his eyes like an abyss.
When he returned to the palace, he discovered that the girl had already gone back on her own initiative. She spent the whole night making him peach-shaped steamed buns as a hint, trying to lure him in, and then deliberately disappeared. It has to be said that this trick of playing hard to get was really clumsy.
"Who taught you to make this dessert?"
The man spoke in an almost indifferent tone.
Yun Kui carefully lifted her eyelids and caught a glimpse of two peach-shaped steamed buns remaining in a porcelain dish on the kang table.
"Why two of them of all... He really figured it out!"
The Crown Prince's expression darkened further; she had indeed done it on purpose!
Yun Kui feigned ignorance and said, "I made it myself. How does Your Highness think it tastes?"
"It looks alright, otherwise how come there are only two left..."
Crown Prince: "..."
"Oh no, you're already so full, how can you possibly eat any of mine?"
The crown prince clenched his fists and stood up abruptly, his gaze cold and deep. Yun Kui was so frightened that she took two steps back, looking at him helplessly.
"The big bad wolf is going to eat the little white rabbit, boohoo!"
The crown prince glared at her hatefully. Dealing with this kind of person, if he really pinned her down on the bed and gave her a good beating, it would only do what she wanted.
He gritted his teeth, turned the candlestick beside him, and slowly slid open a door behind the closed screen.
The crown prince grabbed her wrist and led her inside.
Yun Kui was filled with disbelief; she never expected that the Crown Prince's bedroom would have mechanisms and secret rooms!
Once inside, you'll discover that it's a completely different world altogether.
The dim light, the cold torture bed, the gleaming chains and whips, and many other torture instruments she had never seen before!
This is actually a meticulously crafted torture chamber!
The crown prince noticed that her palms were damp with cold sweat and sneered inwardly, "You will reflect on your actions here tonight."
Yun Kui was both surprised and frightened.
She didn't do anything wrong, so why is she being locked in a dark room?
