The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Looking at Rouer's nervous expression, kneeling and kowtowing, her pitiful eyes were full of pleading.

Ning Yi didn't know what to say. He said calmly, "Get up. I don't blame you."

Only then did Rou'er become obedient and quiet, still keeping her head down.

Seeing that she was still like this, Ning Yi didn't want her to worry too much, so he explained: "Since I gave it to you, it is yours. You can use it as you like."

"Besides, it's for your father. He's raised you for more than ten years. You should give money to help him."

"After all, they live in a precarious situation in that refugee camp. With your help, their lives will be better. If possible, they can return to their hometown in Jiangdong. The disaster relief work that this prince has sent people to Jiangdong is quite effective."

Rou'er finally smiled and knelt down again with eyes full of gratitude: "Rou'er thanks you, Your Highness."

Ning Yi didn't know what to say: "Don't kneel down so easily in the future. It's not your fault. I'm just surprised that you gave away all ten taels and didn't keep any for yourself."

Rou'er explained, "Rou'er is already a member of the Prince's Mansion. Even if I die, my ghost will be His Highness's. I will never leave the house again, so I naturally don't need any money."

Her words sounded quite loyal and reliable.

Ning Yi thought for a moment and said, "Rou'er, don't look at me as a prince who seems quite majestic now."

"But this prince is also in danger. If the other brothers ascend the throne in the future, my fate will be a cup of poisoned wine, and everyone in the prince's mansion will be buried with me. Do you understand?"

This is not just talk, it is also the reason why, when something happened in the prince's mansion last time, all the servants ran away immediately.

No one wanted to stay and be buried with the prince.

"You haven't signed a contract to sell yourself to the Prince's Mansion, so there's no need for you to be buried here. If possible, it would be a good thing to leave with your father as soon as possible."

Ning Yi said this for her own good. She was too young, and he himself didn't have 100% confidence.

Now the fight for the throne has expanded from favor to expanding military strength.

It's extremely dangerous in there, and you never know when you might lose your life.

But the cute Rou'er's two big eyes were dazed at first, then calmed down, and knelt down again: "Your Highness, Rou'er can be rescued from the brothel by Your Highness."

"He even gave Rouer a chance to live, regardless of her background. I'm already very grateful."

"Even if the Prince's Mansion faces calamity in the future, Rou'er will follow His Highness, just to repay His Highness for saving her life. Otherwise, Rou'er might have committed suicide."

"If Your Highness has any doubts, Rou'er is willing to sign a lifelong slave contract right now."

She wasn't just talking. From the moment she entered Wangyue Tower, she was threatened and beaten up several times and had to come out to receive customers.

But she also decided that if she lost her innocence, she would have no face to live and her only option would be to commit suicide. This was also what she had thought of at the beginning.

That's why Rou'er was so grateful to Ning Yi for not doing anything to her and for agreeing to rescue her.

Wasn't it for the sake of her own life that she took the initiative to help Ning Yi defeat Zhao Jianwen?

And now Ning Yi took her in, even if she was just a maid, her life was saved and her innocence was preserved, which was enough.

Ning Yi looked at her for a long time before he thought for a moment and nodded, "Since you are determined, get up. This prince believes in you."

For such a weak woman, it is not easy to survive in this chaotic world.

The next day, after Ning Yi got up, Rou'er was still helping him get dressed.

Ever since Rou'er came, she has been doing some of Ning Yi's odd jobs.

As for the two maids sent by Yang Ziqian, Ning Yi didn't believe them. What if they did something bad?

Just helped Ning Yi comb his long hair and put on a hairband.

The palace door was pushed open, and Yang Ziqin came in dressed in fine clothes with two maids.

When Rou'er saw the hostess, fear immediately showed on her young face, and she knelt immediately: "Greetings, Princess."

Yang Ziqin had a noble appearance, and her beautiful eyes glanced coldly at Rou'er lying on the ground, her eyes full of disgust.

He ignored her completely and walked directly to Ning Yi, saying in a stiff and cold tone: "Your Highness, do you look down on me?"

Ning Yi was puzzled: "Where did you get this from?"

Yang Ziqin seemed to be looking for trouble: "I was worried that you had only male servants here and couldn't serve you well, so I sent you two female servants. But you drove them away. I thought you were not used to other women."

"Who knows, you actually brought a girl from a brothel like this, is your soul seduced away?"

Yang Ziqin even looked at Rou'er, who was kneeling on the ground, with disdain. From her words and deeds, she showed that she did not treat this maid as a human being.

Ning Yi's face was calm, and he said calmly: "Princess Consort, you are meddling too much. Just take care of the backyard. You don't need to worry about the things in front."

"You..." Yang Ziqin's beautiful eyes were filled with anger.

She was very angry because the two maids who were driven back said that the prince did not need them to serve him, and actually brought a girl from a brothel to serve him every day.

This made Yang Ziqin furious on the spot.

She is the prince's consort, a proper mistress, and Ning Yi is her husband.

If Ning Yi disliked the maid she sent, thinking she was clumsy and not pretty, then it would be fine, he could just change her for two more.

What happened next? He brought in a dirty girl from a brothel to serve him every day. What does that mean? Do you dislike her recommendation?

Why did you find such a dirty woman and deliberately disgust her?

Even thinking about the Sixth Prince's lecherous nature, Yang Ziqin imagined that he was seduced by all kinds of women from the brothel at night, making her, a young lady who grew up in an official family, feel very uncomfortable.

Naturally, she came early in the morning to question him, but Ning Yi still said this to her.

Rou'er on the ground was also trembling with fear. She had actually never seen much of the world, and now she heard such a high-ranking figure like the prince's wife say this.

She didn't want to see His Highness being misunderstood, so she kowtowed and said, "Please don't blame me, Princess. Yes, it was I who took the initiative to ask Your Highness to keep me. I only hope that Your Highness can give me a bite to eat. I don't blame Your Highness."

Rou'er didn't have any ulterior motives. She just wanted to say this to prevent His Highness from being blamed by the Princess.

But Yang Ziqin glanced at her coldly, and said with disdain: "Do you have the right to talk nonsense here?"

"Pa" Suddenly, the personal maid beside her went up and slapped Rou'er on the ground.

She warned him sternly, "Slut, you dare to interrupt the princess when she's talking? Are you courting death?"

The little girl Rou'er was slapped so hard that she fell to the ground with a scream.

This kind of thing is very common in wealthy families. Isn't this how they deal with their maids?

Ning Yi frowned a little. He was still here, and according to the rules, what Rou'er said just now was a bit of a retort, but he couldn't lose face.
