"The mission of this servant girl is to protect the Princess Consort and the young masters."
Hong Yi said with a smile tinged with tears, her tone unwaveringly firm.
Murong Jiu laughed, "That won't do, our Hong Yi has to marry someone in the future. Apart from a husband and wife, no one can accompany each other for a lifetime."
"Even husbands and wives may not be able to accompany each other for a lifetime. You and Prince are both devoted individuals, but in this world, there are too many men with multiple wives. They just need to spend a little silver to bring another woman home, and infidelity costs them next to nothing. It's even worse for those women who serve as slaves or maids, having not only to attend to their master's bed but also to perform all kinds of menial tasks."
Although Hong Yi witnessed the pure love between Prince and the Princess Consort, she was well aware that this was a rarity, even extremely rare, in this era.
