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

"General Chu is right. Our soldiers in the capital have been known for their iron-bloodedness since ancient times. How could we be afraid of the coalition forces of the three countries?" Xie Chaochao's voice was as gentle as jade, but every word was powerful. "Since the general is determined, Chaochao will fully support him. Whether it is food, fodder, weapons, or intelligence support, we will make thorough preparations to ensure that our army has no worries."

After that, Xie Chaochao turned around and whispered a few words to the attendant beside him. The attendant immediately took the order and left, apparently to arrange various pre-war preparations. Chu Heng and Xie Chaochao smiled at each other. There was no need for them to say much. The tacit understanding and trust between them was enough to support the safety of the entire capital.

The night deepened, but the imperial city was brightly lit and bustling. Soldiers stepped up their training, craftsmen worked day and night to forge weapons, and grain piled up like mountains in the granaries. Everything was making final preparations for the upcoming war. Chu Heng and Xie Chaochao stood side by side on the top of the city, gazing at the distant sky, their hearts filled with expectations for the future and firm belief in victory.

However, this tranquility was broken by a sudden discomfort - Xie Chaochao, the gentle and beautiful princess, suddenly felt a surge of nausea. She frowned and gently covered her mouth and nose with both hands, trying to suppress the indescribable feeling of vomiting, but ultimately she could not resist her body's instinctive reaction. After a bout of dry heaving, a faint sour smell filled the entire dormitory.

Seeing this, the maids were immediately panicked and rushed forward to support her. They gently wiped the remaining stains from the corners of Xie Chaochao's mouth with a handkerchief and called out anxiously: "Quick! Go and get the imperial physician!" Their eyes were full of worry, fearing that something had happened to this usually gentle and lovely princess.

Soon, the most experienced and skilled doctor in the palace, Li, hurried over. Although his pace was hurried, he still maintained the calmness and dignity that a doctor should have. After a thorough inspection, a trace of incredible joy flashed in Li's eyes. He slowly stood up and said to General Chu Heng, who was standing beside him with an extremely nervous look, "Congratulations, General. The princess is pregnant!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole palace seemed to be filled with a warm current. General Chu Heng was stunned at first, and then his eyes blossomed with an unprecedented light, a complex emotion mixed with surprise, excitement and affection. He stepped forward and held Xie Chaochao's hand tightly. The hands that usually held the sword and killed the enemy, as firm as iron, were trembling slightly at this moment, as if he was afraid that all this was just a dream and would pass away in a flash.

"Chao Chao, did you hear that? We are having a baby!" Chu Heng's voice was choked with a barely perceptible sob. He lowered his head and gazed tenderly at Xie Chao Chao's slightly pale face, his eyes full of tenderness and doting. Xie Chao Chao's eyes flushed slightly when she heard that. She nodded gently, with a happy smile on her lips, as if all the discomfort and pain had turned into sweet honey at this moment, nourishing the joy and expectation in her heart.

The night remained the same, but the palace was filled with unprecedented warmth and hope. General Chu Heng immediately ordered to strengthen the palace guards to ensure the safety of the princess and the unborn baby. Xie Chaochao, under the careful care of the maids, slowly lay down, silently praying in her heart that this hard-earned happiness could last forever and accompany them through every spring, summer, autumn and winter in the future.

Deep in the splendid imperial capital, the spring breeze gently blew over the carved beams and painted buildings, bringing unprecedented good news, like the gentlest ray of sunshine in the morning light, penetrating the haze of the palace. General Chu, the brave and heroic pillar of the country, and the gentle, virtuous and righteous Madam Chu were enjoying a moment of peace in their mansion, but the tranquility was interrupted by a burst of hurried and joyful footsteps.

"General, Madam, great news!" A maid in palace dress, with an expression of uncontrollable excitement on her face, stepped into the hall quickly, the handkerchief in her hand almost squeezing out water from her trembling fingers. General Chu and Madam Chu looked at each other, their eyes flashing with anticipation and curiosity, as if they had already anticipated something.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" General Chu's voice was steady and powerful, but it could not hide the slight fluctuation in his heart.

"Reporting to the general and madam, there is good news from the palace. Thanks to Empress Chaochao, the holy lord of our dynasty, who is revered by all generations, is pregnant with a dragon child. Our dynasty is about to usher in new hope and glory!" The maid's voice was full of excitement and awe, as if even the air was filled with the sweetness of joy.

As soon as these words came out, General Chu and Mrs. Chu were stunned for a moment, and then, their faces bloomed with unprecedented brilliant smiles, which were the infinite longing and joy for the future of the country and family. General Chu strode quickly, as if he was going to the palace immediately to show his loyalty and congratulations; while Mrs. Chu gently straightened her clothes, with a maternal glow in her eyes, she secretly thought about how to prepare the most intimate and meticulous care for the royal blood that was about to be born.

"Quick, prepare the carriages and horses, we will enter the palace immediately!" General Chu's voice was filled with unquestionable firmness. He knew very well that at this moment, he was not only a guardian of the border, but also a witness and participant in the future of the empire.

Madam Chu followed closely behind, each of her steps seemed so light and solemn, as if she was entering a new era full of hope. The palace gate slowly opened, and what greeted them was a more glorious scene and a more arduous responsibility. And all of this was caused by the little life that had not yet been born, but had already made the entire empire boil.

On the way to the palace, General Chu and Madam Chu discussed how to take care of the empress in the most caring way to ensure the safe birth of the dragon offspring. The flickering candlelight in the palace illuminated her deep eyes, as if she could see through everything in the world, but at this moment, she revealed a hint of tenderness and helplessness that was not easily perceived.

"General Chu, Madam Chu, I have made up my mind. There is no need to discuss this matter further." Empress Xie Chaochao's voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the empty hall with unquestionable majesty. She raised her hand slightly, indicating that the two did not need to kneel down again. Her gesture showed both the domineering aura of a monarch and a trace of concern for her subjects.

General Chu was slightly shocked when he heard this, but he quickly adjusted his mood and looked at the empress with a firm gaze, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Madam Chu, who was standing beside him, was gentle yet determined. She gently stroked her belly, which was not yet pregnant, with a maternal glow and an inviolable determination in her eyes. "Your Majesty, I know that you care about the world, but please allow me to speak boldly. Pregnant women are the most delicate and vulnerable in this world. Although I am not a princess, I also hope to get the proper care and peace at this critical moment."
