Reborn to marry, she no longer wants to be the young master's mother

As General Chu finished speaking, the entire hall seemed to be shaken, and the air was filled with an indescribable solemnity and loyalty. Xie Chaochao looked at the loyal general in front of him, and a warm current surged in his heart. He stepped forward and personally helped General Chu up. The two of them met each other's eyes at this moment, and there was no need to say more, as they already understood each other tacitly.

"General Chu is a man of high moral character, which comforts me greatly." Xie Chaochao's voice was filled with emotion, "I know that you are devoted to your country and do not want to be involved in power struggles. But please remember, no matter when and where, you and I are the protectors of all people in this world."

Xie Chaochao stood in the center of the brightly lit palace, surrounded by layers of gorgeous curtains. Every ray of light seemed to be carefully carved, shining on her slightly hesitant but determined face. She felt mixed emotions in her heart, but in the face of the emperor's great grace, even if she was extremely reluctant, she could only slowly nod her head and accept this sudden mission.

The next morning, as soon as the sky turned pale, the entire palace was immersed in a busy and joyful atmosphere. The golden sunlight penetrated the clouds, covering the ancient palace with a layer of dazzling brilliance. The palace servants dressed in colorful costumes shuttled between the corridors, with festive smiles on their faces, as if even the air was filled with the atmosphere of celebration.

As the first bell rang through the sky, every corner of the palace was boiling. Above the main hall, the carefully arranged celebration stage was even more brilliant in the morning light, and the colorful ribbons danced lightly in the wind, as gorgeous and dazzling as a rainbow. The musicians had already taken their positions, and their fingertips lightly touched the strings. The melodious music instantly spread, like the sound of nature, making people feel relaxed and happy.

At this moment, a group of graceful dancers in gauze slowly walked into the hall. They were like the most beautiful flowers in spring, dancing in the ocean of music. Each of their movements was precise and rhythmic, and their skirts fluttered gently as they spun, as if they could drive the rhythm of the entire space. Xie Chaochao stood aside, and her eyes were involuntarily attracted by these dancers. Their dancing postures contained endless stories and emotions, which made people involuntarily indulge in them.

However, behind this joy and peace, Xie Chaochao has a secret and burden hidden in her heart. She knows that she will also be a part of this celebration tonight, participating in this grand celebration in some way. This responsibility makes her feel both honored and full of pressure. But she knows that no matter what the road ahead is, she must face it bravely, because this is not only a return to the emperor's grace, but also a challenge and transcendence for herself.

The lights in the imperial city were brilliant, but they could not hide the unknown depth and complexity. Chu Heng, dressed in a black robe, walked steadily through the winding corridors and entered the magnificent palace, his heart full of complex emotions for the person he was about to meet. He was only here for one person - Xie Chaochao, the empress who had just been crowned but did not seem to be happy about it.

As he stepped into the inner hall, a light fragrance filled his nose, forming a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle outside the hall. Chu Heng's eyes passed through the heavy veils and finally fell on the woman sitting on the dragon throne, wearing a complicated dragon robe. She, Xie Chaochao, had a beautiful face, but there was an indissoluble sadness between her eyebrows. The eyes that once sparkled with a smart light now seemed to have lost their former color under the endless burden.

"Chao Chao," Chu Heng called softly, with an imperceptible tenderness and determination in his voice, and slowly approached, "I'm here to congratulate you, finally sitting on this supreme position."

However, Xie Chaochao's response was beyond everyone's expectations. She shook her head gently, with a bit of helplessness and bitterness in her movement, as if she was mercilessly mocking her fate. "Chu Heng, you are wrong. I should have been a princess of the old dynasty, enjoying the peace and dignity under the protection of my father and brother. This dragon throne, which should have been a symbol of the imperial family, is like a heavy burden to me, pressing me so hard that I can't breathe." Her voice was low and sad, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the deepest part of her heart, full of nostalgia for the past and helplessness about the current situation.

Chu Heng couldn't help but feel an indescribable pity when he heard this. He knew very well that this sudden change not only changed her identity, but also her life. He walked up slowly and stood beside her, looking at her gently, as if he wanted to give her some comfort and strength in this way. "Chao Chao, whether you like it or not, this is an established fact. But please remember that you are not alone. I will always be by your side and accompany you through this stormy time."

The hall was silent for a moment, with only the occasional sound of the night wind outside the window, as if whispering to the ill-fated lovers. Xie Chaochao slowly raised her head and looked into Chu Heng's eyes full of encouragement and affection, and a warm current surged in her heart. She nodded gently, with a hint of determination in her eyes. "Chu Heng, thank you. Maybe I can really try to accept all this, for those who trust me and rely on me, and for ourselves." Chu Heng and Xie Chaochao stood side by side on the top of the imperial city. In the silence, only the gentle breathing of the two intertwined into the warmest melody. Chu Heng's eyes were gentle and firm, as if he could penetrate the night and see into the deepest fear and anxiety in people's hearts. He gently held Xie Chaochao's trembling hand, and the warmth transmitted by his palm was like the warm spring sun, instantly melting the ice in her heart.

"Chao Chao, you know that the position of empress is not only the pinnacle of power, but also the aspiration of countless people, but it is also full of thorns. But please believe, to me, it is just a gorgeous flower on your shoulders, not a heavy shackle." Chu Heng's voice was low and magnetic, and every word was like a carefully carved gem, falling into Xie Chaochao's ears, turning into an invisible force, supporting her crumbling faith.

"Look at the brightest star in the sky. It shines alone, but it also leads the other stars. You are the same. The position of the empress is brilliant because of you, and it can only be controlled by you. And I, Chu Heng, swear to become your strongest backing. No matter it is windy, rainy, thundery, or the stars are shining, I will be by your side and never leave you."

As he spoke, Chu Heng slowly opened his arms and gently embraced Xie Chaochao. The two figures stretched out in the moonlight, as if they had merged into one, becoming the most indestructible existence in the world. Xie Chaochao's eyes were slightly red, but a relieved and determined smile appeared on the corners of her mouth. She felt unprecedented peace of mind and strength, as if all her worries and fears had disappeared at this moment.
