After a year and a half of marriage, they finally consummated their marriage.
On the night of consummation, Yan Qing was truly relentless. Ling Hua felt several times that she almost died under him and cried out for mercy a few times before Yan Qing finally let her go.
With tears in her eyes, Ling Hua thought to herself in the morning light that she wouldn't be able to attend court today. So, she just let it go and fell into a deep sleep.
Yan Qing, having his wish fulfilled, fell asleep with a satisfied smile while holding Ling Hua.
So, that day, the two of them both took leave and didn't attend the morning court, making the court officials feel a bit unaccustomed to it.
Xiao Zhen didn't say anything, but sent someone from the palace with various top-quality supplements to the Marquis Residence, sending word that the Helmsman hadn't rested since returning from Youzhou to the Capital City for three months and must be very tired, granting him a ten-day leave to rest well at home.
