The four of them fell together, but Shen Xihe was held by Hongyu, so he didn't suffer serious injuries. Hongyu and Biyu both bruised and scratched their arms.
“I… I…” The child who fell was not injured thanks to the jade’s cushioning. He got up first and stood by with a bewildered look on his face.
Shen Xihe stood up with the help of Hongyu and Biyu, and asked them first: "Are you okay?"
They were all martial artists, and they had encountered many bumps and bruises while practicing martial arts, which were more serious than this. This minor injury was not a big deal, and they both shook their heads.
Shen Xihe then looked at the child standing next to him. He was very thin and looked to be about ten years old. His clothes were old, but they were made of fine silk. His eyes showed guilt and a little panic.
Seeing Shen Xihe looking over, he bowed and apologized first: "I apologize for offending the princess."
Shen Xihe was a little surprised. The thin man in front of him turned out to be the twelfth prince Xiao Changgeng. There were fourteen princes in the order of Emperor Youning, and ten of them survived. They were the second Prince Zhao Xiao Changmin, the third Prince Dai Xiao Changzhen, and the fourth Prince Ding Xiao Changtai.
The fifth in line is Prince Xin Xiao Changqing, the sixth in line is Xiao Changyu, the crown prince Xiao Huayong is in charge of Qi, and the eighth in line is Prince Jing Xiao Changyan.
The ninth prince is Prince Lie Xiao Changying, the twelfth prince is Prince Xiao Changgeng, and the fourteenth prince is Prince Xiao Changhong who is only two years old.
The twelfth prince, Xiao Changgeng, should be the same age as her, but as a man, he is not even as tall as Shen Xihe, and his face is a little sallow. He fell from the roof, and for a long time no palace maid or eunuch came after him.
She knew that Xiao Changgeng's biological mother was creating momentum, but how could he become like this when he was raised by Liang Zhaorong
"Why did Your Highness go to the roof?" Shen Xihe did not blame him. He just looked up at the place where he fell and found a foot-throwing toy on the roof. The colorful feathers were shining brightly in the sun.
"I… "
Before Xiao Changgeng could explain, an impatient voice came from another courtyard across the wall: "Xiao Changgeng, did you faint? If you are still breathing, climb up and get it for me!"
The voice sounded familiar. It was the fifth princess, Princess Yangling. His Majesty's four princesses were of similar age. The third princess of Anling was sixteen, the fourth princess of Changling was fifteen, and the fifth princess of Yangling and the sixth princess of Pingling were both fourteen.
Xiao Changgeng listened to the urging and said to Shen Xihe: "If the princess has any punishment, Changgeng will take it."
This was in the hope that Shen Xihe would deal with it quickly and not delay him from picking up the toy toys for the Fifth Princess of Yangling.
Before Shen Xihe opened her mouth, Princess Yangling was a little worried. She knew that if Xiao Changgeng could get up, she would not dare not respond: "Fourth sister, Changgeng will not be injured..."
Princess Yangling had a loud voice, and Shen Xihe could hear her clearly even across the courtyard.
"How can he get hurt from falling from such a high place? How can a man from the Xiao family be so shameful?" The fourth princess of Changling snorted softly. As they got closer, her voice was clear enough. "What are you afraid of? Even if he gets hurt, father will just think he is useless."
"If the princess has any complaints in the future, please find Changgeng." Xiao Changgeng apologized and rushed over.
Did he not want the Fourth Princess and the Fifth Princess to meet Shen Xihe, or was worried that Shen Xihe would be angered
He ran with a limp and was already at his fastest speed, but he still bumped into someone in front of the Moon Gate. The person he bumped into was the Fourth Princess. Princess Changling was supported by a group of guards, but no one paid much attention to Xiao Changgeng.
