"I just woke up. My clothes are a mess, and my hair is all undone. Did you want to watch me get ready, milord?" Her voice was coy and soft, light as a feather, playfully tickling one's heart.

Shen Huoshui laughed. "Then what, in your opinion, would look good on me?"
"…" The Crown Prince was silent for a moment before he mused, "Yesterday's was quite nice."

The Crown Prince grunted in affirmation. "You don't like it?"
Shen Huoshui retorted, "Does the Crown Prince like it?"
