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

Therefore, in this quiet and slightly cool evening, the emperor decided to break the routine and no longer let the cumbersome palace rules restrict the emotional communication between him and the queen. He personally ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a table of the queen's favorite dishes, from the delicate steamed sea bass to the colorful, fragrant and delicious jade tofu. Each dish embodied the emperor's deep care and love for the queen.

When the queen was supported by her maid and slowly walked into the dining hall, she was slightly stunned by the scene in front of her. The emperor was already sitting at the table, smiling, with an expectant light in his eyes, as if saying, "Chao Chao, come quickly, these are all prepared for you." At that moment, a warm current surged in the queen's heart, and the pain seemed to be alleviated a little.

The emperor personally picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of crystal clear shrimp, and gently placed it in the queen's bowl, his movements were gentle and delicate, as if he was treating the most precious treasure in the world. "Chao Chao, eat more and get well soon. I'm waiting for you to accompany me to appreciate the lotus flowers in the pond." The emperor's words were gentle and firm, and every word was like a spring breeze, warming the queen's heart.

The queen nodded with tears in her eyes. She understood that this deep affection was the most precious wealth in her life. So, the two began to have dinner together. The dining room was filled with a warm and sweet atmosphere, as if even the air had become soft. In this rare tranquility and happiness, the queen Xie Chaochao's face gradually bloomed with a long-lost smile, which was a response to the emperor's deep affection and a vision of a better future in life.

Empress Xie Chaochao sat quietly in her gorgeous but lonely bedroom. Outside the window, the snow was falling like the purest elves in the world, dancing in the boundless night sky, but also reflecting the unknown desolation and loneliness in the Forbidden City. Her eyes passed through the layers of falling snowflakes, as if she wanted to penetrate the constraints of the deep palace to find the unattainable freedom and dreams.

Inside the house, the candlelight flickered, illuminating Xie Chaochao's beautiful face. Her eyes were both resolute and concealed with subtle tenderness and sorrow. This sorrow was a remembrance of the past years and an uneasiness about the unknown future. Her fingers gently stroked the warm teacup in her hand, her mind was full of thoughts, and finally, she seemed to have made some unshakable determination, with a faint, relieved smile on her lips.

"I, Xie Chaochao, don't want to be the queen in this golden cage anymore." She whispered to herself, her voice was soft but firm. This decision had been brewing in her mind for a long time, just like the snow outside the window, finally reaching the critical point of explosion at this moment. She was tired of the intrigues in the palace, tired of the empty position coveted by countless people, and even more tired of the seemingly noble but cold marriage with the emperor.

That night, Xie Chaochao secretly summoned her most trusted maid and announced her decision. Upon hearing this, the maid was shocked at first, then deeply admired and worried. They acted quickly and made careful preparations for the queen's "escape" plan. And all this was done quietly, as if even the snowflakes floating in the air were unwilling to disturb the upcoming freedom.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the snow-covered palace, the emperor unexpectedly learned that the queen was missing. He was shocked, but more puzzled and angry. He couldn't understand why the queen, who was always gentle and obedient to him, would make such a bold decision to abandon everything and leave quietly.

The emperor immediately ordered a carpet search throughout the palace and even inside and outside the capital. However, with the help of her maid, Xie Chaochao had already changed into civilian clothes and quietly left the cage that imprisoned her soul under the cover of night and the falling snow. There was no fear in her heart, only infinite longing and desire for the unknown world. And this sudden "escape". Deep in the magnificent and magnificent palace, the night fell, and the moonlight gently covered the glazed tiles like a veil, covering this symbol of power and glory with a layer of mysterious silver gauze. Emperor Chu Heng, a monarch with a majestic and imposing manner, put down his usual majesty at this moment, and walked into the bedroom of Queen Xie Chaochao with a bit of confusion and tenderness.

In the bedroom, the flickering candlelight illuminated Xie Chaochao's beautiful face, which was filled with a hint of sadness. She was wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe, but she seemed to be suffocated by the heavy clothing. Her eyes flashed with a light that was incompatible with the splendor. Chu Heng approached slowly, his eyes showing both the majesty of an emperor and his deep concern for his first wife.

"Chao Chao, I don't understand why you suddenly told me that you no longer want to be the queen above everyone else?" Chu Heng's voice was low and magnetic, and every word sounded like a carefully crafted work of art, but it could not conceal the doubts and anxiety in it.

Hearing this, Xie Chaochao gently raised her hand, her fingertips brushing across the intricate embroidery on the phoenix robe. Every stitch and every thread seemed to speak of supreme dignity and glory, but in her eyes, all of this was like shackles, binding her heart that longed for freedom and true emotions. "Your Majesty, you know that recently the servants in the palace have been talking about me privately, calling me the 'cold-faced queen', saying that I am high and mighty and unkind." Her voice was soft but firm, and every word clearly struck Chu Heng's heart.

Chu Heng frowned upon hearing this, and a trace of anger and self-blame flashed in his eyes. "How could this happen? I didn't even notice it. I was negligent." His words were full of self-blame, as if at this moment, he was no longer the high and mighty emperor, but a husband who wanted to protect his wife from the hardships of the world.

Xie Chaochao shook her head gently, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. "Your Majesty, you don't need to blame yourself. The hearts of people within this palace are unpredictable. However, what I wish in my heart is to spend ordinary years with Your Majesty hand in hand, rather than being burdened by these false names. I don't want to lose myself and the purest feelings between Your Majesty and me because of this position of queen."

Her words were sincere, and every word came from her heart, like a clear spring, slowly flowing through Chu Heng's heart, making him fall into deep thought. Outside the window, the night deepened, but inside the bedroom, the couple's frankness made it seem particularly warm and peaceful. Chu Heng held Xie Chaochao's hand tightly, with an unprecedented firmness in his eyes: "Chaochao, from now on, I will protect you and not let any rumors hurt you. As for the position of queen, if it makes you unhappy, I am willing to work with you to find the happiness that truly belongs to you."
