The villain female supporting role will never admit defeat

"I was thinking about it just now," Chu Yaoguang showed a strong smile, "For a noble and incomparable person like your mother, why would you want to get a lantern by guessing lantern riddles for cheap, and the lantern you will get is not much better."

"I remember there was a shop selling lanterns on the way here, let's go buy them together."

As Chu Yaoguang said that, he grabbed Chu Yi's wrist.

Chu Yi didn't move, and frowned slightly: "Pull around, what kind of medicine do you sell in your gourd?"

Chu Yaoguang blinked, and said innocently: "I didn't sell anything, but I don't want to prevaricate my mother with cheap goods."

Chu Yi was displeased: "I said I was going to change my words in the end, and I changed my words day and night."

"How can this be called changing from day to day? It's called rational planning, mother." Chu Yaoguang retorted.

Chu Yi was unmoved: "Go and guess the lantern riddles."

Chu Yaoguang: "...Okay."

She resolutely led Chu Yi towards the lantern riddle shop, and Ning Huarong's figure became clearer and clearer in her eyes.

Chu Yaoguang held his heart up and down, thinking about how to greet Ning Huarong in his heart.

You can't pretend that you don't know each other, that would hurt Ning Huarong's heart, but if you call her "mother", which is the same as calling Chu Yi now, she will inevitably be unhappy, why not call her "mother"?

Before he came to him, Ning Huarong suddenly tilted his head.

Chu Yaoguang was sure that Ning Huarong must have seen him.

Because Ning Huarong's eyes were obviously fixed.

The light of the lantern illuminated Ning Huarong's face, and his usual kind expression was a little dazed, like surprise, but also like bewildered.

Then, Ning Huarong threw down the lantern in his hand, turned and left, and disappeared into the bustling crowd.

Chu Yaoguang paused again.

Chu Yi frowned and looked at her.

"Sorry, I was distracted." Chu Yaoguang smiled.

Chu Yi seemed to sense that something was wrong with her, so he didn't say anything.

When the two came to the shop, the boss greeted them warmly, "You can get free lanterns for guessing the correct lantern riddles, and you can buy the lanterns you want with money if you guess incorrectly."

Chu Yaoguang picked up the lantern that Ning Huarong had dropped just now, and asked, "I want this."

She quickly packed up her emotions.

If her actions made Ning Huarong sad, she could just go and coax her, it's useless to be sad here.

"Miss has a good eye," the boss laughed. "This was another customer's fancy, and was about to pay for it, but suddenly he left because of something, so it didn't sell."

Chu Yaoguang smiled: "Let's talk about lantern riddles."

"The high platform reflects the moon clearly, guess a word." The boss laughed.

Chu Yaoguang thought for a while, and answered, "Tan."

"That's right, the girl is smart," the boss praised, "This lantern belongs to the girl."

"Thank you boss." Chu Yaoguang nodded.

While the two were talking, Chu Yi suddenly said, "I want that."

Chu Yaoguang raised his eyes.

It was a very delicate revolving heron lamp, bright red, with a picture of a girl chasing a tiger with a bow and arrow in her hand. The wheel rotated, and the girl and the tiger in the picture were also chasing after each other, which was extremely vivid.

In the Yuan Kingdom, it was called Zhuanludeng, but Chu Yaoguang preferred to call it a revolving horse lantern according to the custom.

"Your good eyesight, this is one of the best lamps in the small shop. It depicts the spectacle of Empress Mingguang fighting a tiger. It is extremely delicate." The boss hurriedly said.

Chu Yi was puzzled: "Princess Mingguang?"

The boss was about to explain, when Chu Yaoguang coughed: "I don't know what riddles you need to guess to get this lamp?"

The boss replied: "This lantern is very valuable, and you need to solve three lantern riddles to give it away."

Chu Yi looked at Chu Yaoguang with interest.

Chu Yaoguang looked calm: "Then I'll try."

"Okay, the first one is, shrimps playing in the water all around the mountain stream, guess a word." The boss said.

Chu Yaoguang replied, "Thinking."

"Second way, long-legged boy, playing flute into the bridal chamber, loves safflower wine, clapping his hands to death." The boss said.

Chu Yaoguang replied, "Mosquito."

"The third way is to draw a round time and write a square time. Winter is short and summer is long. Guess a word." The boss laughed.

Chu Yaoguang smiled and replied, "It's 'day'."

The boss clapped his hands: "Girl, you are talented, you are all right, this Zhuanlu lantern is yours."

With that said, he took down the lantern and handed it to Chu Yaoguang.

Chu Yaoguang took the lantern and gave it to Chu Yi: "Mother, take it."

The corners of Chu Yi's lips curled up, and he boasted, "It's a bit quick-witted."

Chu Yaoguang nodded slightly: "It's just clever."

The two took their own lanterns and left the lantern riddle shop together.

Turning his head, Chu Yaoguang saw Ning Huarong standing in the crowd not far away.

Feeling her gaze, Ning Huarong laughed, and then gave her a "fun" mouth.

It was crowded, Ning Huarong stood still, and would inevitably be bumped a few times, but she didn't mind it, instead she smiled brightly.

It turned out not to be angry.

I was just afraid that it would affect her and Chu Yi, so I chose to walk away silently.

Chu Yaoguang's heart was full of emotions, and he couldn't help but pucker his mouth.

Today's Chu Yi seems to be very keen, seeing her expression, he said: "What is your face? Are you going to cry or not?"

Chu Yaoguang tried his best to suppress his emotions, forced a smile and said, "It's nothing."

Chu Yi rubbed her head: "It's so ugly."

Chu Yaoguang: "..."

Angry.

The two continued to walk.

As night fell, there were more and more people, and the lanterns all over the street formed a brilliant sea of ​​lights, reflecting this bustling city as if it were daytime.

Chu Yaoguang marveled while admiring the lantern.

But for Chu Yi, the lantern was almost squeezed out, and his whole face became more and more gloomy.

Chu Yaoguang thought about her expression, and cautiously said, "Mother, do you want to go back?"

Before Chu Yi could speak, she stretched her neck first: "Hey! There are dragon lanterns over there, go and have a look!"

She dragged Chu Yi to the lively place, walked a few steps, and suddenly realized something was wrong: "Mother, why don't we go back first, people seem a little..."

Before the word "many" came out, a scream suddenly sounded.

"It's out of water!!!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze... help..."

"..."

The crowd burst into terrified cries, and then fell into chaos in an instant. Before Chu Yaoguang saw the fire, he felt that there were more and more people around him.

Everyone wants to leave, you push each other, you fall down, and then the people behind step on it.

Chu Yaoguang wanted to do something to save the situation, but the surroundings were too chaotic, no one would listen to her even if she spoke, it would be good if she could protect herself.

What was even more frightening was that she thought of Ning Huarong.

Ruoning Huarong was crushed and trampled...

Just by imagining it, an unspeakable panic rose in her heart.

"The dark guard protects the Queen Mother." She let go of Chu Yi's hand, hurriedly dropped these words, and squeezed in the direction of Ning Huarong in her memory without looking back.

"Chu Yaoguang! Come back!"

Chu Yi's shout came from behind him, but Chu Yaoguang couldn't hear it clearly.

She didn't have time to rub her sore waist from being hit by someone's elbow, and with the perseverance she didn't know where she came from, she searched all the way back.

The two met on the way. Ning Huarong squeezed into the crowd, kept looking up, swaying from side to side, almost fell down.

Chu Yaoguang grabbed her hand and held her steady: "Mother, come with me."
