After getting dressed, Hua Tianxiong opened the door to see Dongmei kneeling outside, keeping her head down. Hearing the door open, she immediately kowtowed and said, "Please spare this servant, Your Highness. This servant should not have disturbed Your Highness with her loud voice."
"It's fine, get up. This isn't your fault either; you'll get used to it in time!" With that, Hua Tianxiong left his bedchamber and headed toward the main hall of the Prince's Mansion. He had already scanned the hall with his divine sense and confirmed that basically all officials of the fifth rank and above had arrived, leaving only him to complete the assembly.
Dongmei was left in a daze, a mix of terror and bewilderment. Terrified because she had seen something she shouldn't have, and bewildered by the Prince of Shicheng telling her she would get used to it. Get used to what? Did the Prince of Shicheng go naked every day? This prompted Dongmei to recall a legend she had once heard: a strange monarch of the past who never wore clothes, whose nakedness so captivated every woman who saw it that none could ever tear themselves away. Dongmei did not know how that story ended, but she knew that in this lifetime, she would find it hard to ever leave the Prince of Shicheng.
