Chapter 592 Important Person
The crown prince paused slightly, then his gaze fell on Lu Yue.
Lu Yue almost instinctively hid behind Ye Qing'an...
The Crown Prince narrowed his eyes, a half-smile playing on his lips: "This girl seems to be a little afraid of me? Qing'an, you have a very likable personality. Although this young girl has only just met you, she seems quite dependent on you."
Ye Qing'an laughed: "Your Highness, please don't tease me. This little girl is a bit timid."
The Crown Prince nodded. Although Lu Yue's appearance was considered outstanding among ordinary people, she paled in comparison when standing next to Ye Qing'an.
The crown prince had seen many beauties, and he was indeed not very interested in her appearance.
Furthermore... Ye Qing'an should know what those three women the generals brought back were for.
Since she already knew, it's rather intriguing that she still asked him for it.
Upon considering the implications behind this, the prince couldn't help but smirk.
Excellent! Ye Qing'an has begun to care about the women around him.
This is a good thing.
Thinking this, the Crown Prince's smile widened, and he simply nodded: "Alright, since Qing'an likes her, then I'll bestow her upon you."
Upon hearing the word "reward," Lu Yue, hiding behind Ye Qing'an, pouted slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.
She is a person, not an object, so she cannot be given away so casually.
However, she dared not speak, fearing that she would attract the Crown Prince's attention. Besides, she had originally wanted to stay by Miss Ye's side.
What the Crown Prince said was exactly what she wanted.
Let them reward us; it won't hurt us to lose a piece of meat.
Ye Qing'an smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Then I thank Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The Crown Prince nodded, but then spoke again: "Rest assured, my lord, these women in the camp are just for entertainment, but you are different. What is meant to be yours will always be yours."
"Qing'an understands." Ye Qing'an smiled. "Then Qing'an will not disturb Your Highness any longer."
Ye Qing'an then led Lu Yue away from the central military tent.
Once outside the central command tent, Lu Yue let out a long sigh of relief: "So this is what the Crown Prince looks like?"
“Yes.” Ye Qing’an laughed. “Isn’t he handsome? That’s why the other two girls who came with you were willing to stay after seeing His Highness the Crown Prince.”
"You just saw the Crown Prince. Do you regret following me? If you regret it, you still have a chance to change your mind. I can send you back."
"No, no, no!" Lu Yue shook her head vigorously like a rattle drum. "I don't want to, I just want to stay by your side."
After saying that, she looked at Ye Qing'an with some curiosity: "Isn't that the Crown Prince? Why do I feel that you are not afraid of him at all? And he seems to treat you very well. When you asked him for me, he gave it to you without saying a word."
"Oh, and one more thing, what did he mean by that last sentence? What, all these women in the camp are just for fun, and what's yours is still yours?"
Ye Qing'an chuckled lightly: "That's because His Highness the Crown Prince wants to marry me and is afraid I'll get angry or jealous, so he's explaining it to me."
"Huh?" Lu Yue's eyes widened: "Marry...marry you? But...but His Highness the Crown Prince isn't..."
“Yes, he has a Crown Princess.” Ye Qing’an laughed. “He probably wants to marry me because I’m good-looking, and then find an excuse to divorce his Crown Princess.”
Lu Yue seemed a little overwhelmed: "It can be like this? Oh my god, did you agree to it?"
“I did not agree. Although I am not married yet, I became pregnant out of wedlock a few years ago, and my child is now four years old.”
Lu Yue's mouth gaped open even wider: "Pregnant before marriage? The child is already four years old? And His Highness the Crown Prince knows about it? He even wants to divorce the Crown Princess and marry you?"
Ye Qing'an nodded seriously: "Yes."
"My God." Lu Yue sighed, "You...you nobles in the capital, do you all play this high-stakes game?"
"This is just too unbelievable."
Ye Qing'an chuckled softly, finding it quite amusing to tease the little girl.
Ye Qing'an gestured with his lips: "Go, pack up your things and bring them to my tent."
"Just two pieces of clothing, and they gave them to us. That's all," Lu Yue said with a haughty snort.
"You must bring two sets of clothes too. My maid and I didn't bring much, so we don't have any extra clothes for you to wear. Just wait, when they go to collect grain again in a while, I'll ask them to bring back a few sets of clothes."
“Okay,” Lu Yue replied happily, “I’ll go pack right away.”
After saying that, he ran towards the military brothel camp.
Qingdai followed behind Ye Qing'an: "This woman is the only one of the three women brought back before who is not from Huohuang Pavilion. Her identity is still unknown. Why does Miss want to keep her by her side?"
"What if she came to the camp to deliberately get close to Miss, or has some other purpose? Wouldn't that be... letting a wolf into the house?"
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "What do you think of Lu Yue's temperament?"
"She seems to have been pampered, and looks innocent. I wonder if her temperament is just an act."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Just now I carefully observed her every move, whether it was her speech or some occasional small actions, there was almost no flaw."
"If Lu Yue was truly trained to deliberately get close to me, then she must have gone to great lengths."
"And if she really came here to get close to me, who knows what kind of trouble she might cause outside. Since we don't know her well, it will be troublesome to deal with her then."
"Instead of leaving her out in the open, it's better to keep her close at hand. Her every move will be under our watchful eyes, making it less easy for her to do anything. Besides, a person can pretend for a while, but certainly can't pretend all the time. If she's a fox, she'll eventually show her true colors. Just wait and see."
Shen Qingdai nodded; what Ye Qing'an said did indeed make some sense.
Rather than leaving her out there, not knowing what she's going to do or what she's done, it's better to keep an eye on her by my side.
"Have someone investigate Lu Yue's background."
Qingdai nodded: "Yes."
"Ask Qiao'er again how she has been behaving in the camp these past few days. Has anything been amiss?"
"Or perhaps, the other two girls from the Fire Palace who were brought back to the camp."
"Alright." Qingdai nodded: "I'll find an opportunity to ask later."
Ye Qing'an nodded slightly and turned to head towards her tent.
