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 time, some people here really have such thick skin?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Dong Jingyi paused, then smiled and tentatively asked, "Did someone 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 methods to recruit and encourage women from other places to come over. It really took a lot of effort."

Dong Jingyi: "The measures proclaimed 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 men than women, so the competition is fierce. To increase their own advantages, many military men will proactively approach and show goodwill towards the women 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 blame 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 men directly showing you goodwill?"

Dong Jingyi shyly smiled, "I often go out with my father and brother, so yes, encounters happen occasionally."

Xiao Keyan immediately 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 men, 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.

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 home 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 me to refuse to meet people, but most of the time, I still have to meet when necessary."

Dong Jingyi thought about it and agreed, smiling as she mentioned 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 some ladies who, relying on their high position, always like to put on airs."
