Chapter 1348: Chapter 1123, Princess Chun’an Misled by Storybooks 4
After returning from the racecourse, Xiao Keyan felt a bit off and asked Dong Jingyi, “I haven’t been away from Xiliang for more than a few years, so why did I find that this ti, so people here really have such thick skin?”
Dong Jingyi paused, then smiled and tentatively asked, “Did soone approach you at the racecourse?”
Xiao Keyan looked surprised, “How did you know? Did you see?”
Dong Jingyi smiled mysteriously, “I didn’t see, but I can imagine. The racecourse is not yet open to the public, and those who can enter now are mostly local soldiers. It is tough for the Border Army to take wives; you should be aware of that, right?”
Xiao Keyan nodded, “I know, back then, my father went through a headache to solve this issue. He built residential areas for the military families and tried all sorts of thods to recruit and encourage won from other places to co over. It really took a lot of effort.”
Dong Jingyi: “The asures proclaid by the Prince did allow many soldiers to marry, but there are still too many soldiers stationed at the border, and the problem of soldiers finding it hard to marry still exists.”
“A woman pursued by many is quite common in various military towns.”
“In other places, marriage is mostly decided by parents, but for the soldiers of Xiliang, there are more n than won, so the competition is fierce. To increase their own advantages, many military n will proactively approach and show goodwill towards the won they fancy.”
“In other regions, such behavior might be considered rash, but Xiliang’s situation is unique. If anyone truly offended you, don’t take it to heart, after all, who can bla them when you’re so charming.”
Xiao Keyan smiled and glanced at Dong Jingyi, and after hearing her explanation, her anger dissipated quite a bit. She curiously asked, “Have you also encountered n directly showing you goodwill?”
Dong Jingyi shyly smiled, “I often go out with my father and brother, so yes, encounters happen occasionally.”
Xiao Keyan imdiately laughed and asked, “Do you have anyone you like?”
Although Dong Jingyi was a bit shy, she still replied candidly, “I’m certainly happy to be liked by others, but compared to the passionate and bold military n, I still prefer the amiable and gentle ones.”
Xiao Keyan was moved by these words.
Being liked by others… indeed, there is a little joy in that.
At that mont, a maid ca in to report, “Miss, we have guests at ho, Madam asked you to et them.”
Dong Jingyi hurriedly looked at Xiao Keyan, “Together?”
Xiao Keyan shook her head, “Forget it, just let have a mont of leisure and avoid socializing for a few days. You go ahead!”
Seeing this, Dong Jingyi did not persuade more. The princess’s status was there, not just anyone could see her. Smiling, she tidied herself up again before turning to the main courtyard.
…
To avoid being too abrupt, Madam Yuan specifically called a few close Ladies to the Dong Residence. When Dong Jingyi arrived, Madam Yuan and Miss Yuan both looked at her together.
Dong Jingyi gracefully greeted the Ladies present and then warmly entertained the girls in the room.
Madam Yuan silently observed Dong Jingyi with growing satisfaction, and during the conversation with Madam Dong, she often praised Dong Jingyi, learning a lot about her.
It wasn’t until halfway through the afternoon that the Ladies left.
Dong Jingyi returned to her courtyard and saw Xiao Keyan lounging by the window, eating fruit and flipping through storybooks, looking very comfortable.
Seeing her return, Xiao Keyan smiled and said, “Finished socializing?”
Dong Jingyi nodded, looking at Xiao Keyan with envy, “How I wish I could be like you, avoiding people when I don’t want to see them, living freely and unrestrained.”
Xiao Keyan chuckled, “Listen to you, who can truly live as they please in this world? It’s only at your ho that I can hide away for a few days of leisure. Normally, I have to socialize with my mother. It’s just that I have a princess title, which allows to refuse to et people, but most of the ti, I still have to et when necessary.”
Dong Jingyi thought about it and agreed, smiling as she ntioned today’s visitors, “General Yuan’s rank is above my father’s, so technically, we should visit them, yet today Madam Yuan brought Miss Yuan here, which was really unexpected.”
Xiao Keyan paused, “The Yuan Family?”
Dong Jingyi nodded, “Madam Yuan is quite amiable, and Miss Yuan is very straightforward, unlike so ladies who, relying on their high position, always like to put on airs.”
