Chapter 590 This idea is indeed good.
The woman timidly shrank her neck, nodded, and followed closely behind Ye Qing'an.
"Miss Ye."
When a soldier saw Ye Qing'an, he bowed his head and greeted her.
Ye Qing'an nodded with a smile.
The woman looked up at Ye Qing'an with slight surprise: "Miss Ye? What is your identity? The people in this camp seem to treat you with utmost respect, but you... you are a woman?"
"Didn't I hear that besides the military prostitutes who are there to relieve the soldiers' thirst, there are no other women in the military camp?"
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "My father is the current prime minister. He was ordered by the emperor to go on the expedition with the army."
The woman widened her eyes slightly: "The Prime Minister? Then Miss is truly of noble birth."
Ye Qing'an led her into the tent, sat her down on a chair, and had Qingdai pour her tea before looking at the woman: "I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?"
“I…I am called Lu Yue.”
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Miss Lu, judging from your appearance, it seems that you did not join the camp voluntarily?"
“Of course it wasn’t voluntary,” Lu Yue hurriedly said. “My family… although we are just ordinary people, my father is a schoolteacher, and I have an older brother. My parents and brother all love me very much and have never lacked anything in terms of food, clothing, or other necessities.”
"I was just strolling around the town, planning to buy a beggar's chicken to take home, when suddenly a soldier rushed out and brought me back."
“I’m only fifteen years old this year, just turned fifteen, and they want me to… to become a military prostitute to serve men. There’s no way I could agree to that.”
"I had even considered running away, just last night..."
Lu Yue's voice rose slightly: "But I couldn't escape, and I was caught and brought back."
Lu Yue hung her head in dejection, looking utterly dejected. Then she suddenly raised her head and stared intently at Ye Qing'an: "Miss Ye, you just said that your father is the Prime Minister, and that you were sent to the army by the Emperor, right?"
"Then the generals in the camp should listen to you a lot, right?"
"Could you ask them to let me go back?"
This girl named Lu Yue is indeed a quirky and clever person.
I just don't know how much of what she said was true and how much was false.
Ye Qing'an picked up the tea that Qingdai had poured and took a sip: "Did anyone tell you that you were brought into the camp to serve the Crown Prince?"
"The...Crown Prince?" Lu Yue's eyes widened, filled with confusion. After a moment of stunned silence, she raised her hand to close her mouth, which had been agape in astonishment. "The Emperor's son, the one who will inherit the Emperor's throne...the Crown Prince?"
"Yes, it's that Crown Prince." Ye Qing'an chuckled lightly: "If you can serve the Crown Prince well and become his favorite, then your future will be bright, and even your chickens and dogs will rise to the top."
Lu Yue frowned and thought for a moment: "But I remember that the Crown Prince had a Crown Princess, right?"
"Although I have never been to the capital, the people there are very curious about everything that happens there. I remember hearing a storyteller in the teahouse in town say that His Highness the Crown Prince married his Crown Princess when he was sixteen. And the Crown Princess is also the daughter of a powerful and noble family."
Ye Qing'an nodded, his smile deepening: "Little girl, you have quite the ambition. I was just saying that as long as you can serve the Crown Prince well, you will have a bright future. But you're thinking about the Crown Prince having a Crown Princess. Could it be that you want to be the Crown Princess?"
"No, no, no." Lu Yue quickly waved her hand: "I didn't, I didn't want to, don't talk nonsense."
"I just feel that since the Crown Prince already has a Crown Princess, why does he still need to find other women outside? And even when he goes to the battlefield, he still has his subordinates find women to serve him. This is a bit too much..."
Lu Yue pursed her lips, probably feeling that what she wanted to say was rather disrespectful, so she just bit her lip and remained silent.
After a pause, he asked vaguely, "So the other two who were brought into the camp with me were also sent to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Yes." Ye Qing'an nodded calmly.
“That won’t do either.” Lu Yue shook her head like a rattle drum: “Even if I went to serve the Crown Prince, I could only be a concubine. Perhaps because our status is not respectable, we can’t even be concubines, just bed warmers.”
"I don't want to be a bed warmer. I'd rather be an ordinary person's wife than a bed warmer for His Highness the Crown Prince."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on the girl named Lu Yue.
He thought to himself, if all of this girl's words were lies, then this girl is really too amazing.
Every word she said struck a chord with her.
Lu Yue's eyes darted around, then she turned her head, rested her chin on the table, and looked up at Ye Qing'an: "So, Miss Ye, could you please ask them to let me leave?"
"I really miss my parents and my brother."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "I'm afraid that won't work. Although I'm going on a military expedition with the army, and although you see those soldiers outside greeting me respectfully, in reality, I don't have much say in this camp."
“You were given to the Crown Prince by those generals. If I let you go, it will be difficult to explain.”
Lu Yue's face drooped visibly, but her eyes were still darting around, as if she was plotting something.
A moment later, Lu Yue's eyes lit up: "Then let's try another method, what do you think?"
"Hmm?" Ye Qing'an curled the corners of his lips: "Tell me, what's the method?"
Lu Yue's face was full of cunning: "Don't you have a maid with you? You... could you go to that so-called Crown Prince and say that it's inconvenient for a woman like you to have only one person serving you in the camp, so you want to find yourself a temporary maid?"
"There are only a few women in this camp. If His Highness the Crown Prince asks you which one you want, you can take the opportunity to bring me over to serve you."
Lu Yue thought for a moment, seemingly pleased with her idea, and couldn't help but raise her head, clap her hands, and sigh, "I think this is feasible."
This is indeed feasible.
Ye Qing'an's gaze swept over Lu Yue's face, and a smile appeared on his lips: "This idea is indeed quite good."
"Right? I thought it was a good idea."
“But…” Ye Qing’an looked at Lu Yue: “Why do you think I should help you?”
"..." Lu Yue seemed stunned by Ye Qing'an's question, standing there with her brows furrowed, like a wooden stake, without saying a word.
Yes, she and this Miss Ye had only just met. Why would Miss Ye help her?
