On the seventeenth day of the first month, Ling Hua, who had spent less than half a month recovering at Qiyun Mountain, left the mountain and returned to the Capital City.
As soon as news of her return spread, many people came to visit her. There were esteemed families from the court, close friends of the Ling Family, families who were once close with the Marquis Duanjing Residence but have grown distant since the passing of the old marquises, as well as Yan Qing's roguish friends, among others.
Because of her return, the dark clouds over the Capital City seemed to disperse, and the city, which had been somber due to the strict regulations during the Lantern Festival, suddenly became lively as if a pot of boiling water had been poured onto it.
Xiao Qingyu sat by the bedside teasing Ling Hua, "Look at you, you're so important. The moment you return to the capital, the city wakes up."
