"Safe travels, sir!"
Lin Xiaosu walked back to the backyard with measured steps, the Seventh Princess jumped up and hung onto his shoulder.
Hong'er and Qing'er bowed their heads directly, and several maids pruning flower branches in the backyard also hurriedly bowed their heads to work, trying not to steal glances.
"Seventh Princess, you..."
"Don't call me Seventh Princess, if outsiders hear it, they'll think you've abducted the Imperial Princess." The Seventh Princess whispered in his ear, which was probably the advantage of her always being close to Lin Xiaosu upon meeting him. When the two were together, they mostly spoke in hushed tones, so others couldn't hear.
Lin Xiaosu thought her reasoning made some sense.
The title "Princess" was thrown around carelessly in this world, both races and the Imperial Family had princesses. Being a government official himself, calling someone who was always hanging onto him a princess could easily cause misunderstandings.
