The host of fast travel, she always wants to be lazy

Chapter 44 Cousin Cousin (10)

After dinner, the Queen Mother chatted with Qiu Rong for a while, while Qi Yan sat aside and sipped tea quietly.

Qiao Rong observed for a while, and found that they really didn't seem to have anything serious to talk about, so she felt relieved.

After mentioning various matters in the coming spring, the Empress Dowager suddenly remembered something, so she said to Qi Yan with some hesitation: "Yan'er, you are not too young, and the Ai family sees that it is time for the draft to fill the harem. "

A few years ago, due to her unstable status, neither she nor Qi Yan considered the draft.

Now that there is no need to worry about the future, it is reasonable to say that there is a major election every three years, which happens to be the third year after the spring, and the draft should be put on the agenda.

Qi Yan observed the cup in his hand and remained silent.

Seeing Qi Yan's unresponsive appearance, the queen mother felt that he probably wouldn't take this kind of thing to heart, so she could only continue: "If you are too lazy to watch, Ai's family is here to prepare for the draft, and you can choose it yourself when the time comes." Just keep a few you like."

Qi Yan lowered his eyes slightly, put down the tea cup, picked up the jade pendant on his waist with his fingertips, and gently rubbed it without comment.

The queen mother made a lunch box and he agreed.

Then he turned around and looked at Qiao Rong, and said with a smile, "It happens that Ah Rong is also there, the little girl's eyesight is different from that of an old woman like me, so we can help you as a reference."

Qi Yan made a movement in his hands.

The queen mother thought for a while, and then she thought of something, and continued: "I heard that the plum blossoms in the plum garden are blooming just right, especially this year, why don't you hold a plum appreciation banquet and invite ladies from all families to come and gather, Arong, can you pay me a few dollars?" How about a bosom friend, and help your cousin look at the candidates by the way?"

When Qiao Rong heard this, his eyes lit up.

This is a godsend opportunity!
She was worrying about how to make friends with noble ladies from various aristocratic families, when God sent an opportunity.

So she couldn't help but smile and replied obediently: "Ah Rong also thinks it would be great to hold a plum appreciation banquet."

The queen mother laughed, and immediately ordered people to prepare.

Qiu Rong curled her lips. She was immersed in the progress of her mission. She was a little happy, but suddenly a chill ran down her back, as if she was being stared at by some ferocious beast.

She was stunned for a moment, turned her head slightly and found Qi Yan staring at her.

Those peach blossom eyes were slightly squinted, with a faint light shining in them, and the thick and curled eyelashes reflected a small fan-like shadow on his lower eyelids, making his eyes deeper and darker.

The corners of the lips also raised a slight arc, holding a somewhat inexplicable smile.

A gloomy and dangerous aura emanated from him.

Qiao Rong couldn't help shrinking her neck, and swallowed.

……

……

After Qiao Rong resigned from the Queen Mother, she was stopped by a voice behind her not long after she stepped out of the palace gate.

She turned her head and found that Qi Yan had also walked out of the palace gate, standing on the long corridor not far away, and there was no one else around.

The light in the corridor was relatively dark, and the candles on the side only illuminated half of his face, while the other half was hidden in the darkness, making him look even more dangerous.

Qiao Rong tilted his head: "Cousin, do you have something to say to Ah Rong?"

Qi Yan walked over slowly, step by step carelessly stepping on the ground, as if a ferocious beast that was secretly watching its prey was finally ready to attack.

When he was three steps away from Qiao Rong, he stopped, looked at her for a while, then seemed to smile lightly, and said in an unclear tone: "Cousin seems to be impatient to accept the concubine?"

Qiao Rong was stunned and couldn't help but think that her purpose was not to let Qi Yan accept concubines, but to meet those noble ladies.

But it didn't seem right to say this, so I could only give a compromise answer: "It's time for my cousin to take a concubine, otherwise my aunt will also be worried."

Well, it was the empress dowager who wanted it, not her.

Hearing this, Qi Yan paused slightly, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

Then, he gradually raised the corners of his lips and said softly: "...What my cousin said does make sense. It's time for me to accept a concubine...cousin..."

He stared at her closely, his unfinished tone somewhat meaningful.

Then smiled lightly, turned and left.

Leaving Qiao Rong standing there watching his back, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.
