The Eunuch is Pregnant-Chapter 203: Princess Lulu
Chapter 203: Princess Lulu
Le Yao Yao wasn’t sure what day today was, but Nangong Jun Xi suddenly reappeared again after going missing for days.
But the strangest thing of all was that Nangong Jun Xi had reverted back to his old self. He had a face that she wanted to punch.
He was completely different from how he was a few days ago.
In Le Yao Yao’s opinion, Nangong Jun Xi must have thought it through and decided there was no point in forcing a relationship when it was one sided. If he kept going, he would only self destruct.
Hence, Nangong Jun Xi was bickering with her like he used to. In no time, they had gone back to the their incompatible water and fire state.
It was noon. Due to the hot weather, Leng Jun Yu had shifted from the Study to the Bamboo Gardens.
Today, Leng Jun Yu finished early at the Imperial Court. After eating lunch, he went to the Bamboo Gardens to deal with other paperwork.
Nangong Jun Xi was also here because he had nothing better to do. Right now, he was lazily lying on a reclining chair as he embraced the breezy wind and fanned himself with his fan. He was feeling very relaxed.
As for Le Yao Yao, she had finished cleaning Ya Feng Ge and had eaten her lunch. Now, she was supposed to serve the King of Hell.
However, she knew that the King of Hell was always very immersed in his work. So, he liked being left alone so that he could concentrate.
Hence, she was bored and began to throw some bread crumbs into the pond to feed the fishes.
Immediately, the calm pond became active. The fishes fought with each other to devour the bread crumbs first. Now, it was a bubbly battle and very interesting to watch.
Suddenly, a stressed eunuch ran towards them. Xiao Xie got on his knees and reported to Leng Jun Yu. At the moment, Leng Jun Yu was sitting and assessing a document.
“Prince Rui, I have terrible news. A-a group of people have just arrived and they say they’re l-looking for….”
The little eunuch was out of breath from running and couldn’t finish his sentence.
Leng Jun Yu didn’t even bother lifting his head. He was holding on his writing brush and recording something down on the document.
His facial expression was so calm that it seemed like he wouldn’t even crinkle an eyebrow if the sky were to collapse.
“Could a bunch of people want to pick a fight? Perfect! I’m so bored! Senior brother, let me deal with this!” Nangong Jun Xi shouted excitedly. He stood up without thinking and began to rub his fists together. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖
Leng Jun Yu slowly raised his head and gazed at Nangong Jun Xi thoughtfully. Then, he opened his red lips, “Are you really going to deal with it?”
Nangong Jun Xi was afraid Leng Jun Yu wouldn’t let him do it, so he instantly smacked his chest and boasted. “Haha! This is nothing! Senior brother, you need to trust in my abilities! I can help you solve problems so you can focus on your work!” f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚
“Alright. This issue is related to you anyway. It’s best you deal with it personally.”
Immediately, Nangong Jun Xi’s peach blossom eyes became confused. At this moment, the eunuch had finally caught his breath and finished his sentence from before, “The people are looking for you, 7th Prince!”
“What?! They came for me!?!”

The ancient kingdom of Khotan was quite a powerful nation. They have a very good relationship with the Heaven Yuan dynasty. In order to maintain their amiable relationship, many of their princesses have mutually married into each other’s countries.
The current Emperor of the ancient kingdom of Khotan has seven princes and over a dozen princesses.
Nangong Jun Xi, the 7th Prince, was the biological son of the current Empress. Since the 7th Prince was the youngest son, both the Emperor and the Empress doted on him very much.
But doting was one thing, they still wouldn’t allow Nangong Jun Xi to misbehave and create drama. For instance, Nangong Jun Xi was trying to flee from an arranged marriage!
Everyone in the kingdom knew that the Empress had a treasured darling she adored. But it wasn’t her son, instead, it was her adopted daughter, Princess Lulu.
After the Empress gave birth to the 7th Prince, the Imperial Physician told her she was no longer fertile. Knowing that she could never have a daughter of her own broke the Empress’s heart. Her love for a daughter was well known amongst the whole nation. Hence, the Dowager Empress decided to allow Princess Lulu to stay in the Imperial Palace so that the little girl could spend time with her daughter-in-law.
Surprisingly, the Empress fell in love with Princess Lulu and took her in as her own daughter. Both Princess Lulu’s parents had died very early, so she was an orphan.
So, the Empress nurtured and watched Lulu grow up. Eventually, the Empress knew that Lulu will have to get marry. However, the Empress didn’t want anyone marrying her cute Lulu. Since Lulu had always been smitten by her son, the Empress decided to betroth Lulu to Nangong Jun Xi!
That way, her son and daughter will both be by her side forever! It was a brilliant plan!
Unexpectedly, the Empress’s decision caused Nangong Jun Xi to hate Lulu as a result.
When Nangong Jun Xi was little, he often bullied Slug. Slug wouldn’t stop following him wherever he went.
Later on, Nangong Jun Xi managed to get rid of Slug by learning martial arts from the Tianshan Daoist. At the time, he was determined to get away for a few years.
Initially, Nangong Jun Xi thought his mother would change her mind after all these years. However, after he returned back from the mountains, he found out his mother was waiting to choose a lucky day for him and Slug’s marriage.
Knowing this, Nangong Jun Xi immediately ran to escape. But since he had only ever lived in the Imperial Palace and Tianshan, he had very few friends.
In the end, he could only hide in his senior brother’s residence.
At first, Nangong Jun Xi thought he could hide for a few years so that his mother would change her mind. Surprisingly, he had only been here for two months and his mother’s people were already here!
Nangong Jun Xi wanted to escape again. Unfortunately, Leng Jun Yu seemed to be about to read his mind. He icily stated, “Don’t you dare think of running. Your mother’s people are here. That means they already know you’re here. They must have people outside guarding at every corner. What makes you think you can escape?”
