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

Her eyes flashed with complex emotions, including relief, expectation, and a subtle bitterness. In this interweaving of power and emotion, she seemed to have placed herself outside the torrent of history, observing the great changes that were about to take place with a detached attitude.

Chu Heng was moved and felt a sense of responsibility when he heard this. He knew that this was not only the inheritance of the throne, but also the recognition of Xie Chaochao's selflessness and love. He walked forward slowly, his eyes gentle and firm, and gently held Xie Chaochao's hand. Although those hands were delicate, they seemed to contain the power to support the whole world.

"Chao Chao, your understanding and support are my greatest motivation. But please remember, no matter where I am, you will always be the most important person in my heart. Although this world will be governed by me, my heart will always be with you." Chu Heng's words were like a spring breeze, warm and powerful, instantly dispelling the coldness around him.

However, in the palace, there are turbulent undercurrents. Not everyone can be like Xie Chaochao, who puts the overall situation first and puts aside personal honor and disgrace. Those who are dissatisfied with women in power or jealous of the deep feelings between Chu Heng and Xie Chaochao begin to make moves, trying to find their own foothold in the game of power.

They spread rumors and created troubles in an attempt to alienate the relationship between Chu Heng and Xie Chaochao, and even secretly plotted a conspiracy to overthrow the new dynasty. However, Xie Chaochao and Chu Heng had a tacit understanding and faced these challenges and tests together in a closer manner.

In this double test of power and love, Xie Chaochao, with her wisdom and courage, became Chu Heng's strongest backing. She not only proved the power and wisdom of women with her actions, but also let the world see that true strength does not lie in gender, but in inner tenacity and adherence to justice.

Chu Heng, accompanied by Xie Chaochao, gradually grew into a wise and courageous monarch. He worked diligently, loved the people, and worked hard to bring this ancient land to unprecedented prosperity. All these achievements were inseparable from the woman who silently supported him and was willing to give up her own dreams and pursuits - Xie Chaochao.

The morning light of the next day, like a fine thread, gently penetrated the gauze window lattice, gently awakening Xie Chaochao from her deep sleep. She slowly opened her eyes, her eyes flashing with confusion from waking up and a faint expectation for an unknown day. In the room, the aroma of incense curled up, interweaving with the occasional bird calls outside the window into a peaceful morning song.

Xie Chaochao sat up, the soft quilt beside her seemed to still retain the warmth of the night, she gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, her heart surging with the glory of motherhood and awe of life. The maids had been waiting by her side, and when they saw her wake up, they immediately came forward and gently changed her clothes and washed her, every detail revealed the delicacy and exquisiteness of palace life.

On the dining table, there were various kinds of exquisite breakfasts, the aroma was overflowing, and it was mouth-watering. But Xie Chaochao only tasted a few mouthfuls of porridge and side dishes, then gently put down her chopsticks, frowning slightly, as if she had lost her usual interest in these delicacies. She looked up at the palace maid standing beside her, with a hint of childish curiosity and desire in her eyes, and whispered: "At noon today, I suddenly wanted to eat fish. The fish meat is delicate and the soup is delicious. I think it will whet your appetite."

Upon hearing this, the maid's face changed slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and replied in a more gentle tone: "Your Majesty, you don't know that you are now pregnant with a dragon descendant, so you must be careful in everything. Although fish is delicious, it is cold and has many thorns, which may be harmful to your Majesty and the fetus in your belly. The imperial physician in the palace has repeatedly warned that pregnant women should not eat it. If your Majesty wants to eat something refreshing, I will ask the small kitchen to prepare some seasonal fruits and vegetables, or make a bowl of nourishing bird's nest porridge, okay?"

When Xie Chaochao heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by understanding and consideration. She nodded gently, with a gentle smile on her lips, as if to comfort herself and to thank the maid for her careful care. "You have considered everything, and it was my negligence. In this case, I will follow your advice and prepare some food that is both appetizing and good for the body."

After that, Xie Chaochao stood up and walked slowly into the garden, letting the morning breeze brush across her face, taking away a trace of her morning tiredness. She looked at the spring scenery in the garden, but her heart couldn't help but think of the fish she had never tasted, and she secretly thought that after giving birth, she must taste it well to satisfy her cravings during pregnancy.

Xie Chaochao sat by the window, gently stroking her slightly bulging belly with her hands, a hint of melancholy inadvertently revealed between her brows, as if she was a petal accidentally falling in the spring breeze, carrying a bit of helplessness and sorrow.

"Ah..." She sighed softly, her voice mixed with a barely perceptible sigh and yearning, "It is said that pregnant women need to be extremely careful about their diet. They can't eat this, they have to avoid that, even their favorite fish has become a taboo. If it weren't for this little life, I might still be free and swim in the ocean of delicious food. Now, it would be better if I had never been pregnant. At least I can do whatever I want and make the most of this good time."

Although her voice was soft, it was particularly clear in the quiet night, as if even the air was filled with a subtle sadness. At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, steady and powerful, interrupting her thoughts. Xie Chaochao looked up at the door, with a hint of surprise and expectation in his eyes.

The door opened slightly, and Chu Heng's figure came into view. He was dusty and had a bit of fatigue between his brows, but his eyes flashed with a gentle light, as if he could instantly dispel all the haze. He walked straight to Xie Chaochao and gently embraced her in his arms. That warm embrace seemed to be her most solid support.

"Chao Chao, I'm back." Chu Heng's voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of imperceptible apology and doting. He felt the loss in her words, and a wave of heartache surged in his heart.

"What's wrong? Are you thinking about those unhappy things again?" he asked softly, gently stroking her cheek with his fingertips, trying to smooth out her furrowed brow.

Xie Chaochao snuggled in his arms, feeling the long-lost peace of mind and warmth, and her eyes could not help but turn red. "It's just that sometimes I feel that life during pregnancy is too restrictive. I can't even eat my favorite fish. I can't help feeling a little wronged." She whispered, with a bit of coquettishness and helplessness in her voice.

Chu Heng heard this, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips, his eyes full of doting. "Silly girl, you are taking responsibility for the future life. When the baby is born safely, we can go and taste the delicious fish dishes together, how about that?" He coaxed softly, his tone full of longing and expectation for the future.
