"Hehe, you're worried about what I'm doing, I have a good skin injury, and I'm fine when I'm outside."

"I heard that the second prince came to you yesterday, and he also wanted to use that landscape painting as a dowry to marry you. That painting seems to have a special meaning to you, would you consider his proposal for that painting? ”

Song Zhiqiu said with a deep frown, as if he cared about this matter.

Ling Xiaoning quickly turned his face to the side, and his mood was inexplicably better. It turned out that he hurried over, just worried that he would be abducted.

In any case, his place in his heart is still very important.

"Guess what? Why do I care so much about a landscape painting? ”

"This ...... I don't understand that you are not a person who likes landscape calligraphy and painting on weekdays, and I don't see you nostalgic for these things. Although that landscape painting is very special, it has little to do with you. ”

Ling Xiaoning pondered for a moment and thought of a way to explain it that was easy for him to understand.

"Do you remember when I told you about my hometown?"

Song Zhiqiu nodded lightly, glanced at Ling Xiaoning, and then looked at the distant sky outside the window.

"I remember you said that you came here from a far, far away place, and you didn't tell me your name."

"That's because you've never heard of that place, and even if I tell you, it's useless."

In ancient society, people's understanding of the entire geography was quite narrow, and the people of their own country only knew that a few nearby countries were all native to the present society.

Far away they don't know, and those ethnic minorities don't know, 5 oceans and 6 continents.

Not to mention years later, they couldn't even figure out what the neighborhood was like.

"Since I've come from so far away, you should wonder why I can't go back when I have a way to come."

"Do you miss your hometown! It's because I ignored that you came from such a far away place alone, so do you have any relatives or friends in your hometown? If you really miss your hometown, no matter how far away I will accompany you back to see them. ”

Ling Xiaoning smiled, took a step towards him, and reached out to grab his arm.

"That's what you said, if it takes a lifetime to go to my hometown, will you go with me?"

"I ......"

"Hmph, you're really a liar, and you don't want to go with me after a long time."

Ling Xiaoning sat down in a chair with one hand on her chin. She had also thought about this problem before, if she returned to the modern society, she would not be able to be with the person she liked, and it would not be interesting to return to the current society.

In addition to this, there is another solution, two people go back to modern society together, so that not only can they go back, but they can always be with the person they like, which is the best solution.

"Xiao Ning, if I were just an ordinary person, I would be willing to go with you to your distant hometown to accompany you for the rest of my life, and time will never come back. But my status is special, if I leave ......"

"What are you worried about? It's because you're worried that your father, the princess and the princess won't be able to give up on you, and they're sad because you're gone...... Or are you afraid that after you go somewhere else, you will be reduced to an ordinary person, and you will no longer be a high-ranking prince, with a humble status, unable to do many things, and restricted everywhere. ”

"These are the things I need to think about."

"Then what if I want you to accompany me back to my hometown and never come back? That is, I and your honorable prince, His Royal Highness, can only choose one of the 2 choices, what do you choose? ”

"I ......"

Ling Xiaoning wasn't too disappointed because of his sluggishness, he had long thought that he would hesitate like this.

He has always lived in such a society, respected by everyone, and enjoyed all the benefits of being a prince, how could he easily leave the place where he grew up?

If Ling Xiaoning had changed his situation, he would have hesitated.

After all, the relationship between two people is not born to the point of inseparability, if everything is lost because of such an uncertain relationship, normal people should consider the interests and hesitate.

"But let me tell you, my hometown is completely different from here, there is no feudal system, whether it is men and women, or the officials who hold those important responsibilities, everyone is equal. And we have a fairly complete legal system there, so we don't have to worry about any danger at any time like this one...... In addition, we have a lot of interesting things there, and if I talk to you about them for three days and three nights, I can't imagine it anyway! ”

A look of surprise flashed in Song Zhiqiu's eyes.

"I've never heard of a country like that, so it's no wonder I don't even know where it is. As you said, it's really like a dream, a beautiful peach blossom paradise that doesn't exist in the world. ”

"Peach Blossom Spring? Our people there also have a very beautiful imagination of the Peach Garden, but the imaginary Peach Blossom Garden is a beautiful society with beautiful scenery like a fairyland, no disputes, and everyone helps each other equally. Although we are much better there than we are here, we have not yet reached the level of Peach Blossom Spring. ”

"Yes, the peach garden is so beautiful, it can only exist in everyone's imagination, otherwise the peach blossom garden will not cause so many people to yearn for it."

There was silence for a moment.

Song Zhiqiu suddenly realized a more important issue and took a step back.

"After talking to me so much, I almost forgot the point, didn't you mean the painting? Why did you tell me so many unrelated things? ”

"Who said it has nothing to do with that painting, I got here because of that painting, and only that painting can unlock the secrets of my hometown can let me go back!"

"But this painting is made by a contemporary person, what does it have to do with your hometown, could it be that everyone is also from your place?"

"Whatever you want to interpret it, it doesn't matter anyway, you just need to know that the painting is inextricably linked to whether or not I can go back. It was only when I got that painting that I had the opportunity to return to my hometown. ”

"What about you...... Would you love to go back? Is there a deep attachment to you? ”

"I used to talk to you, but in fact, there are my parents and relatives in that world, as well as many friends I have known since I was a child...... It's just that then I thought that since I got to this place by mistake, even if it was a fate destined by God, I could accept God's arrangement and not think about returning to my hometown so much. ”

"That's because there is no whereabouts of that painting, so you gradually give up looking for it. But now that the painting is in the hands of the second brother, will you ...... Will it be ......"
