After His Majesty's rebirth, he personally taught the queen to abuse the scumbag

Ji Lingzhou and Cheng Mingran basically looked at each other in silence for the rest of the way. The atmosphere at what was originally a happy Lantern Festival had become inexplicably awkward.

"After walking around for so long, is there nothing you want?" Ji Lingzhou broke the silence first.

"I used to be interested in these, but now I have no interest in them anymore." Cheng Mingran answered quickly.

Ji Lingzhou looked at her quietly several times, but finally he was at his wit's end. He happened to see someone in front of him guessing a riddle, so he took the initiative to pull Cheng Mingran's hand and went over there.

"How about we go guess riddles? Ranran is so smart, why don't we try it together?" Ji Lingzhou said.

Guess lantern riddles? Cheng Mingran frowned, but... it was a rare opportunity to come out and join in the fun, so she didn't refuse. Besides, she was actually quite willing in her heart.

So she let Ji Lingzhou drag her to the place where riddles were being guessed. They happened to hear the shop owner shouting, and the surrounding area was quite lively.

But everyone must be here for the grand prize, right? The store owner said that if anyone could guess five lantern riddles correctly, he would give the best lantern in the store to that person.

Cheng Mingran also unconsciously looked at the lantern in the shop. She was a little surprised when she saw it, because the lantern was really beautiful.

The lantern is like a blooming peony, delicate and gorgeous. Its overall shape is elegant and gorgeous, with layers of petals, each of which seems to be carefully cut out of thin silk. These petals are colorful, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow, and yellow like gold, intertwined together to form a beautiful picture.

In the center of the lantern is a bright candle, the flickering flame makes the whole lantern sparkle. The edges of the petals are inlaid with delicate gold edges, shining with dazzling light, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

The bottom of the lantern is a slender bamboo pole, which supports the weight of the whole lantern. The bamboo pole is wrapped with emerald green vines, which form a sharp contrast with the color of the petals, making the lantern more beautiful.

Ji Lingzhou also saw her expression and immediately understood that she must be in love. This was an opportunity to show off, so Ji Lingzhou would not let it go easily.

"Do you like it? If you like it, let's get it today." Ji Lingzhou was full of confidence.

"Peony, this is not something I can use." Cheng Mingran said.

"It's just a flower shape, take it if you like. And there are not so many rules today. This is just an ordinary Lantern Festival. Besides, aren't there a few people holding peony lanterns here today?" Ji Lingzhou didn't care.

In this case, Cheng Mingran naturally had nothing to say. Upon hearing this, Ji Lingzhou also looked directly at the riddle on the lantern.

The puzzle of the first one is "as seen by all". What is the word?

"Does Ranran know what this word is?" Ji Lingzhou asked deliberately.

Cheng Mingran rarely guessed these things, so she didn't know the answer for a while. Ji Lingzhou's lips curled slightly, and then he said the answer: "It is obvious to all. Guess one word for it."

... Cheng Mingran reacted, but before he could say anything, Ji Lingzhou had already set his eyes on the next riddle - "Four parties come to cooperate and make a greater contribution." Also one word.

"Qi" This time Cheng Mingran blurted out the word. Ji Lingzhou looked over after hearing it. Not bad. He was also a little surprised: "Ranran is really smart."

Perhaps Cheng Mingran also felt the fun of guessing riddles, so she took the initiative to look at the next one - "A tiny doll wearing a red coat, its braids were set on fire by the incense, and it flew up to the sky with a loud scream." This time it was an object.

Cheng Mingran had just finally arrived, but now she was confused again when she saw this question. Ji Lingzhou couldn't help but laugh at her distressed look.

"This thing...I can take Ranran with me to buy it later." Ji Lingzhou reminded.

Can I buy it later?

"It's always there during every festival or when something big happens, making a lot of noise and making a lot of noise." Ji Lingzhou reminded again.

Cheng Mingran seemed to have some ideas, but was still a little unsure. She asked tentatively: "Is the answer firecrackers?" She looked at Ji Lingzhou, and unknowingly, she seemed to have begun to trust the person next to her.

"Ranran is awesome. You can guess this." Ji Lingzhou was generous with his praise. Cheng Mingran felt a little embarrassed because this was all thanks to Ji Lingzhou.

Maybe because she was a little shy, she didn't dare to look Ji Lingzhou in the face and could only continue guessing. This time the riddle was - "a dot and a long horizontal line, a stroke to the left, a person standing in the middle, happy events are spoken loudly". Another word.

Cheng Mingran seemed to be familiar with these guesses, so she immediately gave the answer - "The word is Qing."

Ji Lingzhou laughed: "Ranran is so smart. There is only one left. If you guess one more, you will get the grand prize." Ji Lingzhou started encouraging education.

Cheng Mingran also slowly relaxed, completely forgetting what the atmosphere was like between them just now.

It’s just the last puzzle... Cheng Mingran fell into deep thought after seeing it. Ji Lingzhou also discovered her difficulty. It seemed that she had no idea again.

He looked at her: "Ranran, read it to me?"

Cheng Mingran had no choice but to read out the question: "The riddle is: A white snake is crossing a river with a red sun above its head, and a green dragon is hanging on a wall with thousands of golden stars on its body. This time, guess an object."

After listening to this, Ji Lingzhou had the answer in his mind, but perhaps he also wanted to tease Cheng Mingran on purpose, so he acted awkwardly.

Cheng Mingran was also immediately tricked. Seeing his expression, she asked uncertainly: "What's wrong? Don't you know either?"

"This..." Ji Lingzhou had been observing Cheng Mingran's expression. Seeing that she seemed to be a little nervous as well, his mood inexplicably improved.

"What's wrong? Ranran really wants me to get the answer right!" Ji Lingzhou deliberately approached Cheng Mingran.

Cheng Mingran subconsciously wanted to step back, but Ji Lingzhou's arms held her back: "Ranran, you want to hide again? Why do you like hiding from me so much?"

"I didn't, I just got too close, which was a bit inappropriate." Cheng Mingran didn't even dare to look directly at Ji Lingzhou.

Unfortunately, seeing her like this, Ji Lingzhou became more and more fond of teasing: "Really? But I don't know why it's inappropriate. For the relationship between the two of us, no matter how intimate we are, it's normal, isn't it?"

Cheng Mingran: "..." I didn't know how to refute for a moment.
