After passing through the book, the vicious female supporting character and the heroine work togethe

After enjoying the lantern parade on the Yufeng Tower, the few people left the box to go shopping some more and then dispersed.

Zhao Chengye promised that Xu's mother would protect a few people, so naturally he would not leave now.

Just following behind, I started to mutter strangely in my heart.

Why does he feel that Miss Pei's attitude towards him seems to have become much colder all of a sudden? Mingming was sometimes shy and sometimes bright and generous before, but now his face is cold and his tone is a little distant.

Zhao Chengye was confused and couldn't figure out what he had done wrong. He didn't do anything in the box just now. Didn't he just chat with the young master of Duke Chengguo's mansion for a while?

Could it be that she felt that he had neglected her?

Not right either.

Zhao Chengye recalled that in the box, she and the eldest daughter of the Xu family had a very happy conversation, but it seemed that they did not pay any attention to themselves. Then there would be no such thing as feeling that he had neglected her.

So why?

Zhao Chengye had a good impression of Pei Shaorong, so he was so concerned about her sudden cold attitude at this moment.

But now was not a good time to ask, so he had to suppress his inner anxiety and fulfill his responsibility to protect them.

Xu Jinyu was so quiet that people almost ignored her existence.

She had been secretly observing Zhao Chengye, and then she discovered that Zhao Chengye's eyes fell on Pei Shaorong unconsciously from time to time, with a little tenderness in his eyes, and he was obviously attracted to Pei Shaorong.

Xu Jinyu couldn't help but frown.

Zhao Chengye is a strong contender for the position of crown prince, and is very likely to become the crown prince and emperor of Dayong. If Pei Shaorong marries him, she will definitely be the head wife. Will she not be the crown princess or queen in the future?

If Xu Muhua has such a good relationship with her, she will definitely be able to take advantage of him when the time comes!

Wouldn't it be even more difficult for her to get rid of Xu Muhua at that time?

Just as she was thinking about it, she was hit by someone. If the people around her hadn't reacted quickly, she would have sprained!

"Second Miss, be careful. There are too many people tonight, so be extra careful. If you are not careful, you may be hit or stepped on." Liang Ming helped Xu Jinyu and let go immediately after she stood firm. , reminded.

Xu Jinyu's heart moved, she pursed her lips and smiled before saying: "I know. There are indeed too many people, and I'm a little scared when I look at them. If someone falls, wouldn't it be..."

"That's very dangerous! Something like this happened once a few years ago, at the Jinsha Bridge. At that time, the lantern boat on the Jinsha River happened to pass by. The boat was beautiful and the bridge was crowded with people. As a result, on the stairs Someone accidentally fell down, and other people also tripped and fell, and they were all pressed together. The people behind started panicking, trampling many people to death, and many others were forced to jump in. I swam into the Jinsha River, but I didn’t swim up.”

Xu Muhua, who was walking in front, also heard this and asked Pei Shaorong, "Is this true?"

Isn't this a stampede? There are a lot of people tonight, so something bad like this won’t happen again, right?

Pei Shaorong nodded, "It is true that such a thing happened. Many people died in this incident, including civilians and nobles. When the news reached the palace, the emperor was furious, punished many people, and ordered the government to pay compensation. It’s a little money. Afterwards, we had people carefully inspect the places with a lot of people during the festival, and reinforced many bridges and the like.”

It seems that the current Holy Emperor is still a monarch who loves the people.

"Then we have to be more careful."

If you really encounter a stampede, you won't be able to escape even if you want to!

"Let's go put out river lanterns later!" Xu Jinyu suggested.

Pei Shaorong had no objection, and of course Xu Muhua nodded in agreement.

Xu Nan was a boy who didn't like this. He couldn't bear it after a while. He ran to Xu Muhua and said coquettishly: "Sister, you take the second sister to play. I'll play by myself. I want to find my partner."

Xu Muhua refused without thinking: "How can this be done? It's too dangerous for you to be alone, no!"

"Oh, eldest sister, no, I will let the guards in the house follow me. I promise I will not get rid of them! What should I be afraid of if they follow me! I don't want to put out river lanterns, this is for girls to play !”   Xu Muhua laughed, “It’s just for girls to play with, who said that? I clearly saw many adult men putting out river lanterns.”

Xu Nan hummed: "They put it together with the girl they like. I'm still too young to do this!"

When Pei Shaorong heard this, she couldn't help covering her lips and laughed, and said deliberately: "Does Anan want to get married?"

Xu Nan blushed and jumped anxiously, "I didn't! I'm still a child!"

"It's not a child anymore. In two or three years, you should get married!"

"Sister Pei!"

Seeing his silly brother being teased until his head started to smoke, Xu Muhua put on the posture of a good sister in time, "Okay, Ah Rong, why are you teasing my brother so well? Don't you have a brother too? Why don't you go home and make fun of me?" Go to your brother!"

Pei Shaorong blinked innocently, "My brother is still young."

Her brother is two years younger than Anan.

Seeing that Xu Nan was really bored, Xu Muhua had no choice but to agree to him.

It's just for fun. If you don't have fun, it will be against the original intention.

"Liang Ming, follow the young master."

"Sister, no need, there are others..."

"No, either you let Liang Ming follow, or you continue to be with us. Besides, isn't there the Fifth Highness here? You still can't trust the Fifth Highness?"

Zhao Chengye said promptly: "Don't worry, I will protect them."

Fortunately, it is the Lantern Festival, so the rules can be put aside for now. Even if someone sees it, it won't have much impact.

Xu Nan was quickly convinced and took Liang Ming away happily.

Xu Muhua and others selected the river lanterns, came to Jinsha River, found a good location, and prepared to put the lanterns.

Pei Shaorong wrote down her wish seriously, made a wish devoutly, then squatted by the river and gently placed her lantern on the river, watching the lantern slowly swaying away...

"Ah! Help, someone fell into the river!"

The sudden scream from beside her scared her and she quickly stood up and looked back, "Who fell into the river?"

She was about to search for her friend, but her eyes suddenly blurred. When she looked closely, she couldn't help but scream.

"Muhua!"

The figure that just passed her eyes and fell into the river turned out to be Mu Hua!

"Your Highness, Fifth Prince, hurry up, get someone to rescue Mu Hua!" Pei Shaorong was in a panic. He wanted to save people, but he couldn't swim. He instinctively asked for help from the people around him, and reached out to grab Zhao Chengye's hand tightly.

Of course, Zhao Chengye wanted people to go down and rescue people immediately, but at first glance, he found that Xu Muhua seemed to know how to swim!

He was surprised. He didn't expect that the young lady from Duke Chengguo's mansion could actually drink water!
