Xie Chaochao gently placed the two children in the soft quilt, and every movement revealed the brilliance and delicacy of motherhood. Then, she slowly stood up and sighed softly, as if she was lamenting the coexistence of hardship and sweetness of motherhood. She gently pulled down the brocade curtain beside the bed, which was like a barrier, isolating the outside world from this tranquility, leaving only the warm little world of the mother and daughter.

Just as the palace regained its tranquility for a moment, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps was heard outside the door, and every step touched Xie Chaochao's heartstrings. It was Emperor Chu Heng, a monarch who was majestic and unparalleled in the court, but showed tenderness in front of his family. The moment he pushed open the door, his eyes first fell on the low-hanging brocade curtain, and an indescribable heartache and tenderness surged in his heart.

Chu Heng knew that since the birth of these two little lives, Xie Chaochao had devoted almost all his energy to them, unable to sleep at night or rest during the day. His queen, the woman who had fought side by side with him and was both wise and brave, was now willing to put away her edge and become the most gentle mother for the sake of her children. This sacrifice and greatness moved and distressed him.

He walked into the bedroom lightly, fearing to disturb the rare tranquility. The sound of the children's even breathing could be heard faintly in his ears, which was the most beautiful music in the world. Chu Heng took a deep breath and tried to calm his slightly tired mood due to the trivial matters in the court. He wanted to face Xie Chaochao in the best state and give her the most solid support.

"Chao Chao," he called softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice, as if he was calling the most precious treasure in the world. He knew that behind this curtain was the most important person in his life, and the hope they had nurtured together. At this moment, all power and glory seemed so insignificant, and only the warmth of this home was his true desire and destination.

Empress Xie Chaochao, wearing a luxurious brocade dress, with her hair tied up high and embellished with pearls and jade, exudes the radiance of motherhood, and is lovingly caressing her two newly born children. Her eyes are as gentle as spring water, and every touch contains endless pampering and care. These two little lives are the fruit of her love with Emperor Chu Heng, and twins are a blessing from heaven.

She gently held the two children tightly in her arms and sat on the carved pearwood chair beside the bed. The breeze outside the window brought a slight coolness, but it also seemed to highlight the warmth and tranquility of the room. The eldest prince's eyebrows and eyes have begun to show his father's heroic spirit, while the little princess is more like her, with an inadvertent smile on her lips, as if she can see all the beauty in the world.

After a while, perhaps comforted by the warm embrace of their mothers, the babies who had been crying non-stop due to hunger or discomfort gradually calmed down, their eyes slowly closed, and they fell into a sweet dream. There were still traces of tears on their little faces, but at this moment they were sleeping very sweetly, breathing evenly and calmly, as pure and flawless as little angels.

Just as Xie Chaochao was immersed in this tranquility and happiness, there were soft footsteps outside the door, and then, the majestic Emperor Chu Heng, dressed in a dragon robe, walked into the bedroom. His eyes became unusually gentle the moment they touched the queen and the children, as if all the troubles and government affairs disappeared at this moment.

Chu Heng approached slowly, his eyes full of love and gratitude. He spoke softly, afraid of disturbing this rare tranquility: "Chao Chao, thank you for your hard work." After that, his eyes fell on the two sleeping little lives, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, revealing a warm and satisfied smile. In that smile, there was a deep response to the queen, and also infinite expectations for the children's future.

Queen Xie Chaochao looked up at Chu Heng, and their eyes met in the air. There was no need to say anything, as they knew each other's intentions. At this moment, the entire bedroom was enveloped in an indescribable warmth and happiness, as if even time had stopped, just to record this eternal moment that belonged to them.

However, behind this tranquility, the undercurrents of the palace are surging, and the intrigues and struggles never stop. But at this moment, all of this is isolated, leaving only the imperial couple and their beloved children, weaving their warmth and dreams together, as if the whole world is moved by it, looking forward to them working together to create a more brilliant future.

In the magnificent Forbidden City with carved beams and painted buildings, the night falls, and the moonlight is like water, gently falling on every corner of the imperial garden, covering this ancient imperial city with a soft and mysterious silver veil. Emperor Chu Heng, wearing a dragon robe, with a bit of imperceptible tenderness in his majesty, slowly walked into the bedroom of Empress Xie Chaochao. The candlelight in the room swayed, reflecting the gentle face of the Empress. She was gently holding the baby in the cradle, her eyes full of maternal brilliance and endless love.

Chu Heng approached gently, fearing to disturb the tranquility. He stretched out his hand and carefully took the child from Xie Chaochao's arms, revealing his rare delicacy and tenderness in his movements. The child's face was somewhat similar to his, but he inherited the queen's bright eyes, as if he could see through all the beauty in the world. Chu Heng lowered his head and touched the child's tender cheek with the tip of his nose. A warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the light of fatherly love flashed in his eyes.

"Chao Chao, you must have worked hard to take care of this child." Chu Heng's voice was deep and magnetic, and every word seemed to flow from the bottom of his heart, full of deep pity and gratitude for the queen. He knew very well that since the birth of the child, Xie Chao Chao had been unable to sleep at night, doing everything herself day and night, fearing that there would be any mistakes. How could he turn a blind eye to this hard work?

Hearing this, Xie Chaochao shook her head gently, her hair brushing against her shoulders as she moved, like a moving painting. Her eyes fell gently on the child, and a happy smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth. That smile was pure and beautiful, as if it could dispel all the fatigue and sorrow in the world. "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is my child, my flesh and blood. What hardship is there in doing anything for him?" Her voice was soft and firm, and every word was filled with the pride and willingness of a mother.

After hearing this, Chu Heng was deeply moved. He held Xie Chaochao's hand tightly. Although her hands were a little rough due to hard work, they were the softest and warmest in his heart. The two smiled at each other. Without saying anything, they understood each other's feelings.

At this moment, the child seemed to sense the deep affection of his parents. He waved his little hands gently and made babbling sounds from his mouth. It was the purest and most beautiful music in the world.
