After the wedding, Wang Xiaoqiang and Princess Hua Shao began their honeymoon. They were completely immersed in their own world, indulging in the sweetness of their new marriage.

Wang Xiaoqiang's actions at the wedding banquet displeased some officials. They felt that Wang Xiaoqiang was deliberately neglecting them by not drinking with them and choosing to mingle with some unimportant soldiers instead, clearly showing disrespect. Though they fumed privately, they dared not express it openly, murmuring among themselves in private.

Due to this incident, in the days following the banquet, they made every effort during the morning court sessions to point out Wang Xiaoqiang's faults to Huang Ce, accusing him of being arrogant because of his achievements, self-important with his troops, and disrespectful toward his colleagues. They hinted to Huang Ce that such a person should not be entrusted with a major task. Measures should be taken to weaken his military power to prevent future troubles.

While Huang Ce was in a dilemma, Qiu Ji brought up the previous strategy again. Huang Ce originally intended to give his daughter some time for her honeymoon, delaying a bit before assigning Wang Xiaoqiang to lead the expedition to clear the loose cultivators. However, he did not expect Wang Xiaoqiang to anger so many people, and feared that if the plan was not carried out promptly, the court would have no peace.

Thus, on this day,

while honeymooning with Princess Hua Shao, Wang Xiaoqiang was summoned to the palace. Huang Ce decisively issued the order for Wang Xiaoqiang to lead the expedition and sweep through the territory of loose cultivators.

The difference between loose cultivators and other cultivators lies in that cultivators are orthodox entities, organized and disciplined, whereas many loose cultivators do not belong to any forces and are free and unrestrained in their actions. In cultivation, unlike orthodox cultivators who get systematically issued pills to assist them in overcoming cultivation challenges and bottlenecks, loose cultivators must fend for themselves in situations without any guarantees or benefits, resorting to risky actions such as murder and treasure snatching, often killing orthodox cultivators.

There is considerable animosity between loose cultivators and orthodox cultivators, to the degree that "incompatible as fire and water" would not be an exaggeration. In short, disagreements easily escalate into conflicts, with no quarter given.

Overall, loose cultivators stand in opposition to orthodox cultivators, who occupy the court, sects, cities, and other territories. Loose cultivators seldom form powerful groups, but when they rally, their power is undeniably strong.

Notably, in recent years, loose cultivators have also been uniting and developing their strength, gradually becoming formidable enough to pose a significant threat to the court.

This was Huang Ce's reason for wanting to suppress the loose cultivators.

Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't too surprised to receive the imperial decree. As the Grand Marshal of Soldiers and Horses, he naturally bore the responsibility and duty to serve the nation. However, upon hearing the term "loose cultivators," his thoughts inevitably returned to the Golden Medicinal Buddha and his daughter Jin Qiaoqiao.

If it weren't for Jin Futu, he wouldn't have such a powerful pet beast—the Patterned Beast.

In truth, he owed a debt of gratitude to Jin Futu, so when he heard about the plan to eradicate loose cultivators, he felt somewhat conflicted. After all, Jin Futu and his daughter are loose cultivators.

Nonetheless, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't let his personal feelings deter him. National affairs should not be influenced by personal grudges or emotions. After all, Wang Xiaoqiang was also an Immortal Hero, and as such, he was bound to prioritize the country and its people.

That day, upon returning to the Imperial Son-in-Law's Mansion, Wang Xiaoqiang informed Princess Hua Shao of his upcoming expedition. Hearing this, Princess Hua Shao was quite despondent. Just married, and now Wang Xiaoqiang had to go on an expedition, which inevitably brought sadness.

"Little Qiang, I don't want you to leave. I will go to Father and ask him to retract the order," Princess Hua Shao said as she was about to get up and go to the Imperial Palace to meet His Majesty.

Wang Xiaoqiang held her back and said, "Hua Shao, matters of the state are no trifling matter. If you speak to him like that, His Majesty might think it was my idea, and it would backfire."

Princess Hua Shao thought about it and agreed. The Imperial Family, after all, was not like ordinary households, where matters could be taken lightly. Princess Hua Shao leaned into Wang Xiaoqiang's embrace, emotionally saying, "Little Qiang, don't worry. Wherever you go, I will follow... "

Moved by her words, Wang Xiaoqiang held her tightly, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "Hua Shao, I'm sorry."

"Sorry? Sorry for what?" Princess Hua Shao asked in surprise.

"That night in the bridal chamber, I shouldn't have treated you that way," Wang Xiaoqiang said, recalling how Hua Shao had fully given herself to him after the wedding and naturally thinking of his rough actions that night, almost treating her like a mere object of lust. He felt guilty and thus apologized.

"What way?" Princess Hua Shao couldn't help but recall the events of their wedding night...

She remembered how Wang Xiaoqiang forcefully kissed her and began to reminisce...

It was the first time Princess Hua Shao was kissed; under the influence of a man's breath, she felt intoxicated as if she had drunk wine. She was inebriated!

Wang Xiaoqiang, a little impatiently, started unbuttoning Princess Hua Shao's bridal gown but was stopped by her, as she said, "Little Qiang, not now, it's broad daylight, and the guests haven't left yet."

"Just because it's daytime, we can't do what we want? Besides, this is between the two of us, what does it have to do with the guests." Wang Xiaoqiang said as he immediately pushed Princess Hua Shao onto the bed, tearing off her wedding dress somewhat roughly.

Her fair skin was exposed, and the smooth touch immediately excited Wang Xiaoqiang,

making his actions even more rough, which frightened Princess Hua Shao.

But Princess Hua Shao had no experience at all, not even a bit of enlightenment education. So she didn't think Wang Xiaoqiang's actions were wrong; instead, she thought it was normal and silently accepted it.

Ultimately, in pain, she underwent the transformation from a girl to a woman. The bloodstained flowers on the bed sheets proved her virginity and gave Wang Xiaoqiang a strong sense of accomplishment.

After the rough encounter, Wang Xiaoqiang was satisfied both physically and with his inner desire for conquest. Seeing Princess Hua Shao in pain, he felt guilty, so he gently began to heal her with Wood Element Spiritual Qi while tenderly comforting her,

his hands like the soft spring rain, falling gently on Princess Hua Shao's delicate skin...

In the second time, with Wang Xiaoqiang's skillful actions and techniques, Princess Hua Shao finally experienced the joy of being a woman.

Although she bit her lips and clenched her teeth, the gracefully elegant and pure Princess Hua Shao couldn't help but let out a shy moan that even made herself embarrassed...

...

Recalling this, Princess Hua Shao blushed a bit, not with resentment, but with a happy expression, murmuring in Wang Xiaoqiang's arms, "The bridal chamber night was quite normal. I've heard that it always hurts for women the first time."

"If a man isn't rough, it won't hurt that much for the woman," Wang Xiaoqiang stated honestly.

"It's okay. You didn't do it on purpose, and besides, I'm willing to endure the pain for you," Princess Hua Shao said gently, kissing Wang Xiaoqiang on the forehead.

...

Princess Hua Shao decided to accompany Wang Xiaoqiang on his expedition, but was stopped by Huang Ce. He first considered his daughter's safety and also realized that by keeping Princess Hua Shao in the Imperial Palace, Wang Xiaoqiang would remain dedicated to serving the nation without reservations.

Wang Xiaoqiang also refused Princess Hua Shao's company because it would be too dangerous, and having her with him would only make things more difficult.

Before marriage, a woman is subject to her father's command; after marriage, to her husband's. Now that both her father and husband disagreed, Princess Hua Shao could only accept it quietly.
