After returning to the capital to farm, the abandoned concubine made a comeback.

Outside the shop, people came and went, and the noisy shouts and laughter mingled together, creating a stark contrast to the frozen atmosphere between Lin Qin and Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling looked at her with deep affection.

Lin Qin was filled with thoughts. The splendor of the Prince's mansion and the luxurious food and clothing flashed through her mind, but what followed was the feeling of being confined by high walls and deep courtyards.

She seemed to see herself as a canary with clipped wings, trapped in a magnificent cage, unable to soar freely any longer.

Thinking of these things, Lin Qin felt a dull ache in her heart, and her eyes revealed a struggle.

Zhu Ling noticed Lin Qin's unusual behavior. He held her hand tightly with heartache and said softly, "Qin'er, I know what you're worried about. I assure you, after we return to the palace, you can still do whatever you want. I will never restrict you."

Lin Qin forced a smile: "Your Highness, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just..." She paused, took a deep breath, "I'm just afraid of losing my current life. I enjoy this feeling of freedom, and I don't want to go back to that place full of rules and constraints."

The strict rules of Zhu Ling's mansion were indeed an unbearable constraint for Lin Qin, who was used to freedom.

He paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Qin'er, I know you yearn for freedom, and I respect your choice. If you truly do not wish to return to the Prince's Mansion, I..."

"Your Highness!" Lin Qin interrupted Zhu Ling, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at him. "I..."

Lin Qin's yearning for freedom and her love for Zhu Ling were colliding fiercely, like Mars colliding with Earth, exploding in her heart.

On one hand, there's the carefree rural life; on the other, there's the prince's doting affection and the daily life of a child on a reality show. This puts her in a deep dilemma.

She felt like a patty stuck in the middle of a hamburger, caught in a dilemma.

Her body trembled slightly, and the sunlight on the street seemed to become scorching, making her dizzy and even more agitated.

"Ugh! This is so annoying!" Lin Qin's inner voice frantically scratched her head. "System, do you have any brilliant ideas?"

A cute, cuddly system popped up: "Host, this system can only provide tips on making money; relationship issues are not within our service scope~"

Lin Qin sighed, realizing the system had failed her at a crucial moment.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

Wait a minute, is it really impossible to have both love and freedom?

Is she destined to become a prisoner of love?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her, like lightning piercing the night sky.

Shouldn't love be about mutual understanding and support?

Why must we choose one of the two?

If Zhu Ling truly loves her, he should respect her choices and support her dreams.

If she truly loves Zhu Ling, she should bravely face the challenges instead of running away.

What she wanted was not the comfort of a canary, but the freedom of an eagle soaring through the sky!

Thinking of this, Lin Qin's eyes became firm, like a shining star.

Zhu Ling sensed her change and felt both nervous and expectant, as if awaiting the judge's final verdict.

The atmosphere on the street became tense, even the hawkers' cries seemed to subside, and the air was filled with the feeling of an impending storm.

"Your Highness," Lin Qin's tone was resolute, "I..."

Lin Qin walked towards Zhu Ling, held his hand tightly, and the warmth of her palms traveled through their skin to their hearts.

She looked at Zhu Ling tenderly, her eyes firm and bright, like the brightest star in the night sky.

"Your Highness, I am willing to return to the palace with you."

Zhu Ling's heart skipped a beat, and a huge surge of joy welled up inside him, as if to overwhelm him.

He excitedly grasped Lin Qin's hand and looked at her with deep affection. Passersby around them smiled like doting aunts at the sight. The air was filled with pink bubbles, and even the shops on both sides of the street seemed to exude the sweet and sour smell of love.

"Qin'er, thank you, thank you for believing in me." Zhu Ling's voice was choked with emotion as he held Lin Qin tightly, as if afraid she would suddenly disappear.

Lin Qin gently patted Zhu Ling's back and said softly, "Your Highness, I agree to go back to the palace with you, but I have one condition."

Zhu Ling quickly said, "What conditions? Just tell me, and I'll agree to anything!" At this moment, all he wanted was to give Lin Qin the best things in the world.

Lin Qin smiled slyly, revealing a fox-like expression: "I want to farm in the Prince's mansion!"

Zhu Ling: ? ? ?

"Farming?" Zhu Ling wondered if he had misheard. The Prince's mansion had such a large garden, why would he need to farm?

“Yes, farming!” Lin Qin nodded firmly. “I want to transform the Prince’s mansion’s garden into my own private farm, filled with all kinds of vegetables and fruits, and also raise chickens, ducks and geese!”

Zhu Ling's lips twitched. He imagined the chaotic scene in the Prince's mansion and immediately felt a headache coming on.

But seeing Lin Qin's enthusiastic expression, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he reluctantly agreed: "Okay, as long as you're happy, you can plant whatever you want, raise whatever you want!"

Lin Qin nodded in satisfaction and added, "Also, I want to open a snack shop in the Prince's mansion, specializing in selling the food I make!"

Zhu Ling: ? ? ? Is this princess a foodie?

"No problem!" Zhu Ling gritted her teeth. Anyway, the Prince's Mansion wouldn't be short of space. "You can open whatever shop you want. I fully support you!"

Lin Qin smiled happily, tiptoed, and gently pecked Zhu Ling on the cheek: "Your Highness, you are so kind!"

Zhu Ling was stunned, a faint blush appearing on her face, and the streets seemed to be cheering for them.

"Ahem," Lin Qin cleared her throat, "There's one more thing..."

Zhu Ling's heart tightened again. "What other conditions are there?"

Lin Qin smiled mysteriously: "Let's talk about it when we get back to the Prince's mansion~"

Lin Qin and Zhu Ling embraced tightly, their sweet atmosphere almost melting the surrounding air.

Passersby applauded and offered their blessings, while others whistled, creating a scene reminiscent of a large-scale public display of affection.

This scene looks like something out of an idol drama!

For a time, the streets were filled with pink bubbles, and even the air was filled with the sour smell of love.

"Oh dear, this dog food was thrown out of nowhere!" An older woman clutched her chest, a fond smile on her face.

"That's right! The prince and princess are a perfect match, a match made in heaven!" another middle-aged woman chimed in.

"I give this move a perfect score!" A young man gave a thumbs up, looking on with envy.

Amidst everyone's blessings, Lin Qin and Zhu Ling's relationship reached a new height, as if even their breaths were intertwined.

Just when everyone thought Lin Qin would immediately follow Zhu Ling back to the palace and begin her happy life as a princess, Lin Qin suddenly spoke up and said, "Your Highness, I need to go back to the farm and the shop first to say goodbye to everyone."

Zhu Ling was slightly taken aback.

So the two said goodbye to the enthusiastic crowd, and hand in hand, walked towards the farm.

The streets have returned to their usual hustle and bustle, but without that sweet couple, it feels like something is missing.

Lin Qin returned to the farm and looked at the familiar houses, fields and shops, feeling a mix of emotions.

This is the first place she stayed after transmigrating, and it holds too many memories for her.

She walked to the edge of the field and gently stroked the lush green vegetables, as if saying goodbye to them.

"Miss Lin Qin!" Uncle Lin greeted her excitedly, "You're back!"
