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

That night, the emperor stepped into the imperial kitchen and saw the unique dish on the table. He took a bite and immediately his eyebrows relaxed and he praised it highly. When he learned that it was made by the queen herself, he was even more moved and held Xie Chaochao's hand tightly, his eyes full of tenderness and gratitude.

In the magnificent yet gentle and delicate Queen's bedroom, the flickering candlelight illuminated a beautiful but slightly tired woman - Queen Xie Chaochao. She was wearing a gorgeous dress embroidered with gold and phoenixes, with her hair tied up high and embellished with pearls and jade, like a fairy from a painting, but the faint weariness in her eyes made people feel pity for her.

At the side, a clever maid named Cui'er was holding a cup of warm tea, her eyes full of concern and heartache. She stepped forward and said softly but firmly, "Empress, you haven't slept for several hours. The sewing of the dragon robe is extremely tedious. Let me help you share some of the work. You can take a rest on the couch and get enough rest."

Upon hearing this, Xie Chaochao gently raised her hand, and the unique warm texture of the dragon robe thread seemed to remain between her slender jade fingers. She smiled slightly, and in that smile there was both the dignity of a queen and a bit of hard-to-detect toughness and tenderness. "Cui'er, I appreciate your kindness, but I must sew this dragon robe myself." Her voice was as clear as a spring, with unquestionable firmness, "The emperor works hard for state affairs day and night, and this is all I can do for him. Every piece of clothing, every stitch, carries my love and wishes for him, and I hope it can bring him a little comfort."

Cui Er's eyes slightly reddened when she heard this. She knew very well that her madam had a deep affection for the emperor, which was a thousand times more precious than any gold, silver or jewelry. But she couldn't help but persuade again: "Madam, the emperor certainly understands your feelings, but if you are exhausted, the emperor will be even more distressed when he knows. You should take a rest for a while. I promise that I will only complete the most tedious part for you, and you can do the rest yourself, okay?"

Xie Chaochao looked at Cui'er's eyes full of sincerity and worry, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She thought about it, and finally nodded, reluctantly agreeing to this small compromise. "Okay, Cui'er, I'll trouble you. But remember, you must be careful and meticulous. This dragon robe represents the face of the royal family, and there can't be any mistakes."

So, Cui Er took the unfinished dragon robe and continued sewing with light and skillful movements, while Xie Chao Chao slowly stood up and walked towards the dragon couch covered with soft quilt. Although she was extremely tired, her heart was full of hope for the future and deep affection for the emperor. That night, in the queen's bedroom, candlelight and needlework intertwined, weaving beautiful legends about love and devotion, which moved people and made them yearn for it.

Chu Heng sat in the magnificent court, surrounded by carved beams and painted buildings, but at this moment, this solemn hall seemed to be shrouded in a thick haze. He frowned, holding a secret letter in his hand, the letter paper trembled slightly due to excessive force, revealing the anger and unwillingness in his heart.

The sunlight shone through the window lattice, sprinkling on his face, but it could not illuminate the haze in his deep eyes. In the court, the ministers were silent, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere of impending storm. Chu Heng took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, but every word in the letter was like a sharp blade, cutting his heart and making it difficult for him to let go.

"My dear ministers," Chu Heng finally spoke, his voice low and powerful, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "I have recently received a secret report that an important official in the court has colluded with foreign enemies and intends to overthrow our great country! Such behavior is tantamount to selling out the country for personal gain, which is really outrageous!"

There was an uproar in the court, and the ministers looked at each other in disbelief at the shocking news. Chu Heng's eyes swept across everyone's faces, as if he wanted to see through everyone's mind. There was anger and disappointment in his eyes, and a determination to find out the treacherous and defend the country.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been working diligently and conscientiously to govern the country, wishing only that the people can live and work in peace and that the country can prosper. But now, someone actually dares to do such a dirty thing under my nose. It is really my fault!" When Chu Heng said this, his tone was already filled with a bit of self-blame and heartache, but his eyes were more determined, as if he wanted to find a ray of light in this chaotic court.

"I swear here today that no matter who this person is, how high his position is, or how powerful he is, I will bring him to justice and will not show any leniency! At the same time, I also hope that you, my dear ministers, can work together to eradicate the cancer of these countries and return our beautiful land to a peaceful and prosperous world!"

Chu Heng's words were sonorous and powerful, echoing in the court, like an invisible force, inspiring the hearts of every minister. The ministers expressed their stance one after another, vowing to follow Chu Heng and face the national crisis together, and the court once again rang with passionate echoes.

However, Chu Heng knew in his heart that this was just the beginning. The real battle had just begun. He had to stay calm and wise in this war without the smoke of gunpowder, so that he could find out the enemies hiding in the dark one by one and protect the land and people he loved so much.

Empress Xie Chaochao, wearing a gorgeous brocade palace dress and a pearl hairpin with eight treasures, walked lightly through the long and deep palace road of the Forbidden City and slowly walked towards the Yangxin Palace. The sunlight shone through the clouds and sprinkled on her delicate face, adding a bit of soft and firm brilliance to her. Today, she was carrying an indescribable uneasiness and determination in her heart, just because of the sudden change last night, her mood could no longer be calm.

Outside the Yangxin Palace, the guards were tight, and the eunuchs and palace maids came and went in a hurry. The air was filled with a sense of oppression. As soon as Xie Chaochao stepped onto the stone steps in front of the palace, a eunuch in a dragon robe hurriedly came to greet him. His face was pale, and his eyes flickered, as if there was something difficult to say. "Empress, the emperor is in the palace at this moment, but...but I dare to say that the emperor is in a very bad mood today, and he is angry. It seems that he is worried about important matters in the court. Your Majesty, do you think you can wait in the side hall for a while, and let me go in to report it?"

Xie Chaochao didn’t understand why Chu Heng was so angry. She wasn’t that angry either, so she really didn’t understand what was going on.

But I know there must be a lot of things.

Your Majesty, there are too many things to deal with every day.
