Mi Xue, promise me that if you ever feel that I haven't done something good enough, you must tell me, understand?"
"Yeah." Mi Xue nodded happily. Then she thought of something and said immediately, "Brother Baili, if...if you fall in love with someone else in the future, you can tell me."
Originally, she had also wanted the kind of lifelong love that only two people could have, but now she knew that if she accepted Baili Han, she would have to accept his identity. He was a high-ranking prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Not only did the Northern Wei Dynasty need him to continue its lineage, but sometimes, taking a woman as a concubine was not his original intention.
So she took the initiative to bring it up. Although it hurt her heart, she didn't want to embarrass him.
"Silly girl! If you truly love someone, it's for life. Although I, Baili Han, may not understand romance sometimes, I dare to promise you here that throughout my life, I, Baili Han, will only have one wife, Qianye Mixue, and there will be no one else!"
"But……"
"No buts! Don't you yearn for the kind of love your brother and sister-in-law have? Besides, the three of us brothers have been exposed to the love between our father, the emperor, and our mother, the queen, since we were very young. Not only me, but also my brother and my younger brother, they can only accept the love of a lifetime."
Seeing Mi Xue's eyes filled with tears of happiness, Baili Han leaned over slightly, kissed away the tears on her face, and said, "Remember what I said to you. I don't ask for anything else from you. I just hope that in life, if there is a time when you are not satisfied with me, you must tell me. And trust me!"
Mi Xue smiled, took the initiative to reach out and put her arms around Baili Han's neck, nestled in his arms, and nodded, "I will definitely trust you. I also hope that if you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can also tell me. We should be like brother and sister-in-law, no matter how many storms we go through, we can trust and tolerate each other!"
"Okay!" Baili Han nodded. Then he reached into his bosom and took out a jade pendant, carefully placing it in Mi Xue's hand.
"This is the jade pendant my mother gave me when she passed away. She said that if she ever met a woman she truly loved, she would give it to her. This is the only thing this irresponsible mother-in-law gave to her daughter-in-law."
Mi Xue stretched out her hands and carefully picked up the jade pendant.
This was a blood jade so red it looked as if it were dripping with blood. Unlike other blood jades, it was also warm. Even Guangguang could feel the warmth of it even when he held it in his palm.
"The weather in the Northern Wei Dynasty was freezing cold, but if you wear this jade pendant, you won't have to worry about the coldest winter. The most precious thing about this jade is not its color, but its ability to absorb heat. Once you go to a cold place, the warmth radiated by this jade will wrap your whole body in warmth."
Mi Xue listened to Baili Han's introduction and felt the love that the late Queen of Northern Wei had for her son. Mi Xue clasped her hands together, looked at the sky outside the window, and said:
"Empress Dowager..."
"Empress Dowager?" Baili Han was dissatisfied.
"Um...Auntie, you..."
"Aunt?" Baili Han frowned, still dissatisfied.
"Then...then what should I call you?" Mi Xue asked aggrievedly.
"Mom!" Baili Han corrected with an uncontrollable smile.
"Ah?" Mi Xue blushed.
