Chapter 16 Punishment for Disobedience
Wu Feng's heart tightened suddenly, and he immediately knelt down, his forehead touching the ground.
"Your Highness, I know I was wrong."
"Where did I go wrong?" Li Yunrui's voice was still gentle, but it was tinged with indifference.
Wu Feng's mind raced as he tried to figure out exactly where he had gone wrong.
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anything else besides missing his night shift last night. He finally steeled himself and said in a low voice:
"Your Highness, I was wrong in every way. Please punish me."
Chunmei finished Li Yunrui's makeup and gently inserted the last hairpin into her hair.
Li Yunrui slowly stood up, his cloud-patterned shoes making a very soft sound as they stepped on the smooth ground.
As Wu Feng was kneeling, he saw a pair of exquisite cloud-patterned shoes appear before him, the toes of which almost touched his knees.
Immediately afterwards, a rich, cool fragrance wafted over, causing him to subconsciously take a deep breath.
He slowly looked up...
What catches the eye is the hem of a light purple, thin nightgown, and above that, Li Yunrui's legs, clad in plain white underpants.
The underwear was made of thin material, clinging to the skin and hanging down to the heels, and in the morning light, the long outline of the legs could be vaguely seen.
Wu Feng immediately lowered his head, not daring to look any longer.
On Li Yunrui's face, shame and excitement intertwined, causing an unnatural blush to rise on her cheeks.
She said in a calm voice:
"Since you know you're wrong, then... I have no choice but to punish you. Mistakes must be punished; that's the rule..."
Wu Feng was startled.
Hey! He was just saying that, this woman isn't serious, is she?
"Chunmei, you go out first." Li Yunrui's gaze was fixed on Wu Feng kneeling on the ground, but he spoke to Chunmei, "Don't come in no matter what you hear."
"This servant understands."
Chunmei responded immediately.
She glanced at Wu Feng with pity, then turned and left the bedchamber, gently closing the door behind her.
With a soft "click," the door was closed tightly.
Only Li Yunrui and Wu Feng remained in the bedchamber.
Wu Feng panicked slightly. This woman was crazy; was she really going to pull out some kind of punitive tool?
"Why didn't you dare come in last night?" Li Yunrui asked casually.
Upon hearing this, Wu Feng was momentarily stunned, then breathed a sigh of relief. So that's why.
He slowly raised his head to look at Li Yunrui, but he was kneeling while Li Yunrui was standing, and the two were so close that he could only see her from the waist down when he looked up.
Wu Feng reached out and gently took Li Yunrui's hand.
Li Yunrui's hand trembled slightly, and she struggled for a moment, but did not break free.
She let Wu Feng lead her, feeling the warmth and strength emanating from his hand.

"Your Highness," Wu Feng said softly, "I was hoping to help you as soon as possible, so I went back to the small garden last night to meditate and cultivate. Your Highness, I didn't mean to."
Li Yunrui's face was slightly red at this moment.
It wasn't because she was shy, but because Wu Feng was holding her hand. This little eunuch dared to take her hand on his own initiative!
This offensive and intensely humiliating feeling surged through her body like a tiny electric current, making her breathing somewhat rapid.
Li Yunrui looked at Wu Feng kneeling before her, her voice becoming even more alluring:
"Although there is a reason, I am just not happy. I don't like disobedient dogs."
With a slight movement of her left foot, her cloud-patterned shoes slipped off, revealing her feet clad in plain white silk stockings.
Then, the foot lifted up and stepped directly on Wu Feng's shoulder.
The fabric of the stockings was very thin, and Wu Feng could feel the warmth and softness of his soles.
The foot gently rubbed against his shoulder, the force light, yet carrying a sense of superior control.
[Ding~ Mood points +40!]
"Little Wuzi, tell me..." Li Yunrui's voice trailed off, "How should I punish you?"
Wu Feng lowered his head, clearly feeling the touch on his shoulder. He tentatively whispered:
"Your Highness... I know some fun games. I'm willing to teach you; I guarantee you'll enjoy them..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yunrui's eyes seemed to be shrouded in mist, and his gaze toward Wu Feng became fixed.
She was now certain that the little guy understood what she meant.
[Ding~ Mood points +40!]
"Fine..." Li Yunrui's voice had become increasingly sickly, "Then let me see just how fun your game is..."
"Um... Your Highness," Wu Feng said softly, "could you let me get up first? Otherwise, I won't be able to see your face and won't be able to judge whether you are satisfied."
"No." Li Yunrui refused directly, her voice gentle yet brooking no argument, "You can only teach me while kneeling."
She didn't want Wu Feng to see her face at that moment, that expression of excitement that was almost out of control; she didn't want anyone to see it.
Hearing this, Wu Feng could only accept his fate.
He released Li Yunrui's hand and gently hugged her with both hands.
Even through the thin nightgown and fox fur, he could feel the slenderness and softness of her waist. Wu Feng's hands tightened slightly as he buried his face in her chest.
Li Yunrui's body visibly stiffened.

Outside the bedroom, Chunmei had already instructed the maids guarding the door to leave the bedroom.
His Highness has certain quirks that cannot be known to others.
She stood alone at the doorway, hands at her sides. The morning breeze blew across the palace path, carrying the fragrance of flowers and plants from the distant garden.
Just then, she suddenly heard Li Yunrui's angry shout coming from inside the bedchamber:
"How dare you! Little Wu Zi, how dare you insult me!"
Chunmei was immediately alarmed and instinctively wanted to push the door open and rush in. But she remembered what His Highness had just said: no matter what she heard, she must not come in.
She thought about it for a while, but still didn't move.
She firmly believed that although Wu Feng was very bold, he would never dare to harm His Highness within the Guangxin Palace.
Chunmei stood guard at the entrance of the sleeping quarters, but she never pushed the door open.
About 15 minutes later.
With a creak, the door to the bedroom was pushed open.
Chunmei immediately turned around and saw Wu Feng walking out from inside.
He looked somewhat disheveled.
"Um... I angered His Highness, so I got a cup of water splashed on me..." Wu Feng explained.
Chunmei remained calm. She didn't know what had just happened inside, but seeing Wu Feng in such a disheveled state, she still felt a pang of pity.
She took out her handkerchief and handed it to Wu Feng: "You are now His Highness's person, you should pay attention to your appearance. Quickly wipe yourself."
Wu Feng quickly took the handkerchief: "Thank you, Sister Chunmei."
He quickly wiped his face dry with a handkerchief and straightened his collar.
Chunmei nodded, then went into the bedroom and closed the door behind her.

In the sleeping hall.
When Chunmei came in, she saw Li Yunrui sitting in front of the dressing table, gently combing her long hair that was hanging down on both sides.
She changed into a pale yellow palace dress, and her hair was combed again and tied up with a jade hairpin.
Chunmei noticed that His Highness's complexion had improved; his cheeks were flushed with a healthy glow, his eyes were moist, and he looked radiant.
"Your Highness." Chunmei walked to Li Yunrui's side.
"Did no one notice?" Li Yunrui asked softly, her hands still combing her hair.
"No," Chunmei replied immediately.
Li Yunrui looked at her beautiful face in the mirror, her eyes glistening with a slight moisture.
A satisfied smile slowly curved her lips.
"Hmm..." she murmured to herself, her voice so soft it seemed to drip with water, "This game... is so much fun..."
