He gently held Xie Chaochao's hand. Although her hands were a little rough from managing the affairs of the harem, they were still as warm as ever, conveying unspoken strength and affection.

"Chao Chao, you know I feel sorry for your hard work day and night. Although the harem is big, it is not as beautiful as your smile." Chu Heng's words were filled with a bit of pampering and helplessness. He knew very well that this queen was not only beautiful, but also had a tenacious heart. For the overall situation, she always endured everything silently.

Xie Chaozhao smiled slightly and felt very happy.

A hint of toughness flashed in her eyes. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know the importance of every day. It's just that there are so many trivial matters in the palace recently, and the war on the border has not been settled, which makes me feel uneasy. But since I have promised Your Majesty, I will adjust my body and mind and continue to help Your Majesty solve problems in the best condition."

After saying that, she slowly stood up, her luxurious phoenix robe swaying gently, like a peony blooming in the morning light, noble and gentle. Chu Heng watched her leave, feeling reluctant but full of expectations. He knew that Xie Chaochao was not someone who gave up easily, and she would prove her promise with actions.

As night fell, the palace was silent, with only the occasional drumbeat breaking the silence. Xie Chaochao returned to her bedroom and ordered her maid to extinguish most of the candles, leaving only a few dim lights to illuminate her beautiful face. She sat quietly in front of the window, looking at the deep night sky outside, thinking to herself: How can I ensure my health without missing important events in the palace?

At this moment, a breeze blew by, bringing a faint scent of flowers, as if it was the most gentle comfort from nature. Xie Chaochao took a deep breath, as if she had drawn strength from it. She closed her eyes, silently reciting her promise to Chu Heng, and decided that from tonight on, she would not only have a good rest, but also find a more efficient management method to keep the affairs of the harem in order and no longer be a burden to herself.

Thus, a contest of wisdom and courage quietly began in the heart of Queen Xie Chaochao. And she will write her own legend with practical actions, so that Emperor Chu Heng can see that she is not only the love of his heart, but also a partner who can fight side by side with him. This challenging and exciting journey is destined to become the most shining chapter in their common memory.

At midnight, the deep night, like a thick velvet cloth, quietly covered the entire imperial city. In the silence, only the low hum of the wind and the light dance of the snow remained. Empress Xie Chaochao, wearing a gorgeous dress embroidered with gold and phoenixes, but without any complicated headdress, simply tied up her long hair with a simple jade hairpin, sitting in the quiet courtyard. Her face was gentle with a little imperceptible sadness, as if the heavy snow had not only fallen on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, but also quietly fell on her heart.

Snow flakes fluttered down from the dark sky, each one like a feather falling from the sky, light and pure. Under the cover of the night, they silently covered the entire world, gently wrapping the magnificent palace in a layer of white. Xie Chaochao's eyes passed through the flying snowflakes and looked at the distant and blurred sky. Her eyes were full of admiration for this natural wonder, but also seemed to hide deeper thoughts, just like the depth of the night, which was unpredictable.

"It's so beautiful." She whispered softly. Although her voice was soft, it was particularly clear in the quiet night, as if she was praising the snow, or sighing for the past years. Her fingers gently stroked the cup of tea that had long been cooled on the stone table. Although the fragrance of the tea was faint, it still evoked her memories of the warm times in the past. In those days, she and the emperor stood side by side, enjoying the spring flowers, autumn moon, summer rain and winter snow. At that time, their hearts were full of longing and hope for the future.

However, time flies, and now, although she is still the queen, she is no longer the carefree girl. The palace struggle, the power struggle, the unpredictable human heart, all these have forced her to arm herself up and cover up the softness and fragility of her heart with a cold mask. But on this snowy night, all the defenses seem to melt with the snow, leaving only the most real self, quietly savoring this rare tranquility and beauty.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, rolling up a few snowflakes on the ground. After circling in the air for a few times, they slowly fell down, as if nature was gently comforting the lonely queen. Xie Chaochao's mouth corners unconsciously rose, and a gentle light flashed in her eyes. She knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as there was light in her heart, hope would never go out. At this moment, she was willing to immerse herself in this pure beauty, so that her heart could get a moment of peace and release.

In the middle of the night, the sky seemed to be torn apart, and heavy snow fell endlessly, dressing the whole world into a fairyland covered in silver. Empress Xie Chaochao, a woman who was always gentle but lively, excitedly stepped out of the warm palace in this quiet and cold winter night and walked into the dreamland woven by moonlight and snowflakes - the courtyard.

Snowflakes were like elves dancing in the sky, light and rapid, they gently touched the ends of Xie Chaochao's hair, quietly attached to her shoulders, and playfully jumped onto her eyelashes, as if they were having a silent and intimate conversation. Xie Chaochao's face was filled with a childlike innocent smile, her eyes were particularly bright against the backdrop of the snowflakes, flashing with infinite joy and amazement at this gift from nature.

She began to spin lightly in the yard, her sleeves fluttering in the wind, dancing with the falling snowflakes, as if the whole world was swaying gently with her spin. Every step she took brought up tiny snowflakes in the air around her, and they seemed to be infected by the joy and joined in the impromptu dance. The whole yard instantly turned into a dreamlike feast in the snow.

Xie Chaochao's laughter echoed in the cold air, adding some vitality to the quiet night. Her laughter was crisp and pleasant, like the warmest ray of sunshine in winter, penetrating the cold and reaching people's hearts. At this moment, she was no longer the queen who was high above, but an innocent woman who was immersed in the beauty of nature and forgot her identity and constraints.

The snowflakes continued to fall, and Xie Chaochao seemed to have merged into this snowy land. Her happiness and freedom were most perfectly interpreted in this boundless white world.
