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

"My dear minister, what you said is very true," Chu Heng pondered for a moment, his voice low and powerful, "However, the foundation of our dynasty lies in the hearts of the people. If we easily form an alliance with foreign races, it may cause dissatisfaction among the people and shake the foundation of the country. Moreover, I have also heard about the ambitions of foreign races. Such cooperation is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger, and the risk is extremely high."

The hall fell into silence again. The ministers either bowed their heads in thought or whispered to each other. The atmosphere was tense and oppressive. At this moment, a young minister stepped forward, his eyes flashing with determination and wisdom: "Your Majesty, I have a plan that may solve this urgent problem. Although our dynasty is short of troops, we are not short of wisdom. It is better to send envoys to the foreign tribes first to test their strengths and weaknesses before making a decision. At the same time, strengthen the border defense and recruit warriors in case of emergency. In this way, we can delay time and test the intentions of the foreign tribes. It is really a best of both worlds."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of approval in the hall. Chu Heng also showed an approving look on his face. He nodded, his eyes revealing firmness and determination: "Okay! I will act according to your plan. Send an order immediately to select smart and capable people to form an envoy to go to the foreign tribes. At the same time, strengthen the border defense and recruit warriors to prepare for war. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome this difficulty!"

As Chu Heng gave the order, the hall suddenly became lively, and the ministers followed the order and left, ready to meet the upcoming challenge. Chu Heng sat alone on the dragon throne, his eyes deep, as if he had seen the hope and light of the future.

Deep inside the magnificent palace, Emperor Chu Heng was sitting alone on the dragon throne, his head lowered, his brows condensed with deep thoughts, as if the whole world had stopped breathing with his silent heartbeat. Inside the hall, the candlelight flickered, stretching his shadow long and projecting it on the mottled floor tiles, adding a bit of loneliness and mystery.

Outside the window, the night was as dark as ink, and the stars seemed to be quietly watching the changes in the Forbidden City. Chu Heng's fingers gently tapped the armrest, and every touch seemed to be talking to a corner of his heart, trying to solve the problem that had troubled him for many days. Just as he was immersed in endless thoughts, a gentle but majestic voice, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, broke the tranquility.

"Your Majesty, since things have come to this, why not invite that outsider into the palace for a chat? Perhaps he can bring us new insights." Outside the door, Empress Xie Chaochao's voice was gentle and firm, with a power that could not be ignored. Her words were as delicate as drizzle, but they contained a power that could penetrate people's hearts, making people involuntarily excited.

Chu Heng heard this and raised his head slightly. His eyes passed through the tightly closed palace door, as if he could penetrate the space and meet the eyes of the wise and beautiful woman outside the door. Queen Xie Chaochao was not only his first wife, but also his most solid backing in this treacherous palace struggle. Her suggestions always lit a bright light for him when he was most confused.

"Well, the Queen is right." Chu Heng spoke slowly, with a barely perceptible sense of relief in his voice. He stood up, his dragon robe fluttering in the wind, like an eagle about to spread its wings and fly high, ready to meet unknown challenges. He knew very well that this outsider might be the key to solving the current dilemma.

Thus, a palace meeting with foreign envoys, full of unknowns and excitement, quietly kicked off. Every corner of the palace seemed to be holding its breath for the upcoming conversation, and even in the most inconspicuous corners, there seemed to be prying eyes hiding, looking forward to what kind of storms this meeting that might rewrite the course of history would bring.

Following Chu Heng's order, the attendants quickly took action to welcome the mysterious outsider. Queen Xie Chaochao stood aside, her eyes flashing with wisdom and expectation. She knew that this was not just a simple meeting, but an important moment concerning the fate of the country and the safety of the court. In this exciting and unknown court drama, she and Chu Heng will work hand in hand to face the future storms together.

In the magnificent palace, the sun shines through the exquisite window lattices, sprinkling on the smooth marble floor, adding a bit of warmth to this solemn place. The ministers are dressed in gorgeous court robes, with different expressions, some solemn, some nervous, talking in low voices, and a subtle tense atmosphere permeates the air. At this moment, a gentle and firm figure slowly walks into the hall. It is the Queen Xie Chaochao. She is dressed in a gorgeous dress with gold woven phoenix embroidery and a nine-phoenix pearl crown on her head. Every step seems to be on the clouds, noble and gentle.

Upon seeing this, the ministers stopped talking and cast their eyes towards this woman who was the mother of the country. Then, as if drawn by an invisible force, they knelt on the ground respectfully, and their voices rang out in unison: "Long live the Queen!" There was awe and a subtle expectation in their voices, as if the appearance of Queen Xie Chaochao could bring a glimmer of hope in this turbulent time.

Empress Xie Chaochao gently raised her hand. Her movements were graceful and calm, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, bringing a gentle breeze. "My dear ministers, please don't be polite." Her voice was clear and pleasant, with unquestionable majesty and gentleness, as if it could soothe the anxiety and uneasiness in people's hearts.

The ministers stood up, their eyes still following the queen, who walked slowly towards the emperor's throne. The emperor's face lightened slightly, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes. The queen sat lightly beside the emperor, and the two sat side by side, like a harmonious painting, which made people feel awe.

"Your Majesty, I think that although the current situation is tense, war is not appropriate." The voice of Empress Xie Chaochao rang out in the hall, clear and firm, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Her eyes swept across the ministers present, and her eyes were as bright as stars, flashing with wisdom and determination, "War will only bring more suffering and displacement. We should value peace and seek ways to win by wisdom, rather than fighting with force."

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into silence. The ministers looked at each other with mixed feelings. The Queen's words not only showed her deep understanding of justice, but also revealed a wisdom and foresight beyond ordinary people, which forced people to re-examine the current situation. At this moment of tense confrontation, the appearance and speech of Queen Xie Chaochao, like a clear stream, stirred up the waves in everyone's hearts, and also made the clouds of the impending war seem to have a glimmer of hope...
