Xiao Keyan was even more confused: "Prevent what?"
Dong Jingyi laughed and said, "Prevent someone from liking you and asking for your sachet. The Qixi Festival is essentially a day for girls to showcase their talent. If a girl truly fancies a young man, she can give him this sachet."
Xiao Keyan chuckled, "I don’t think anyone has the guts for that."
In fact, since she came of age, many people had been discreetly or openly interested in her, but not a single man dared to confess his feelings in front of her.
Either they were mindful of her status as a princess, or they feared her three brothers at home.
Thinking of this, Xiao Keyan couldn’t help but remember Yuan Yonghao and paused slightly.
What left such a deep impression on her about this guy was his boldness.
Dong Jingyi said, "If you didn’t reveal your identity, I bet more than half of the boys participating in the equestrian event would want to court you."
Xiao Keyan was amused: "You’re exaggerating! Although people do love beauty, they are generally sensible when it comes to lifelong matters, especially men. Usually, they only choose girls whose conditions are similar to theirs."
"When it comes to exceptionally outstanding girls, they instinctively retreat. First, for fear of aiming too high; second, for fear of losing face if rejected; third, for fear of the cost being too high."
She said, with a confident smile.
"Even if I don’t reveal my identity, there are still very few who dare to approach me."
Dong Jingyi paused, then suddenly realized: "If you hadn’t said it, I wouldn’t have thought it through. Now that I think about it, you do have a point."
No wonder in the past few years when she attended the equestrian event, few asked her for her sachet, but her two maids received quite a few gestures of goodwill.
Indeed, one’s identity can be concealed, but the demeanor of a person cannot be hidden. People from families like theirs, educated and knowledgeable from a young age, naturally differ from girls from ordinary families.
Just like the princess, even if she usually is approachable, there is always a hint of nobility and inviolation in her every gesture.
Dong Jingyi looked at Xiao Keyan: "What if someone actually asks you for the sachet?"
