The Eunuch is Pregnant

Chapter 39: Roaming the streets

Le Yao Yao grabbed Xiao Mu Zi.

“Huh? Leave the residence?”

Hearing this, Xiao Mu Zi appeared a bit worried.

“Yeah! Let’s go walk around. We’re done our tasks anyway. It’s so boring here. This is the perfect opportunity to kill some time!”

Le Yao Yao looked way too enthusiastic. Although Xiao Mu Zi wasn’t very bright, he wasn’t stupid either. After hearing Le Yao Yao’s words, he cautiously looked around as he pulled Le Yao Yao to a remote area and lowered his voice.

“My beloved Xiao Yao Zi. Please do not try anything crazy again. Even if you have the ability to leave the residence, you will not be able to escape from the Imperial guards. In the past, I heard many little eunuchs attempted to escape due to Prince Rui. But in the end, they were all captured. In addition, they were all beaten very badly. So please, I urge you to destroy all thoughts of running away. With your body size, I doubt you can even survive ten beatings!”

Xiao Mu Zi was extremely concerned for Le Yao Yao. He knew Le Yao Yao was constantly plotting of running away. But since they had both arrived at the Prince’s residence on the exact same day, they have a very good relationship. Hence, he didn’t want anything to happen to Le Yao Yao. Xiao Mu Zi knew serving the Prince was very scary; but even so, he didn’t want his good buddy to take the riskier path.

Le Yao Yao knew Xiao Mu Zi was being very solemn because he was concerned for her well being.

Honestly, when she found out they could leave the residence, the first thing she thought about was escaping.

But after hearing Xiao Mu Zi’s words, she knew her plan was far too unrealistic.

Plus, she had just arrived in this Ancient dynasty. She was unfamiliar with everything and everyone. All she had was a silver tael. Even if she somehow managed to escape from the residence, she wouldn’t be able to make it past the city gates.

There were way too many Imperial guards at the Prince’s residence. Getting caught was inevitable, and her future would definitely be even more tragic. Le Yao Yao thought about it a bit more, and the hope that had ignited was once again extinguished.

Even so, she still wanted to leave the residence to walk around.

Firstly, she wanted to know what this dynasty was actually like. Secondly, right now was the time to get herself familiar with the area. So that in the future, she wouldn’t get lost when she had the opportunity to leave.

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao’s brows relaxed and her red lips curved into a sweet smile.

“Okay! My beloved Xiao Mu Zi! I know. I just want to innocently roam around the streets. Plus, since we were gifted for our work, we must eat an appreciation meal to reward ourselves! Let’s go! We have to get the pendants from the chief manager!”

Since Le Yao Yao appeared to be honest, Xiao Mu Zi could only accept his request.

When they arrived at the chief manager’s location, the chief manager heavily warned them. He specifically reminded Le Yao Yao that he must return no later than 5pm. The reason was because the Prince will return from the Imperial Court after five. So, Le Yao Yao and Xiao Mu Zi had four hours to roam around the streets.

Although four hours wasn’t a long time, being able to leave the residence to go for a breath of fresh air was already very appealing.

After all, she was constantly on the alert at the Prince’s residence. They were far too strict and had a long list of rules to follow. She could barely breathe from the amount of pressure they put her in.

So, the moment Le Yao Yao left the residence, she felt like a bird that had been let out of its cage. She was running all over the place, making Xiao Mu Zi chase after her.

“Xiao Yao Zi, stop running so fast! Wait for me…..!”

“Haha. Xiao Mu Zi. Why are you such a slowpoke? Hurry!”

Le Yao Yao cheerfully teased. Soon, they had arrived at the city’s most prosperous street.

Thanks to being beneath the Prince’s rules, the street was not only filled with hubbub of voices, but flourishing economically.

As far as she could see, both sides of the street were filled with countless of inns, shops, and brothels.

There were also stores that sold silk, calligraphy, makeup, and antique jade artifacts. In summary, everything that had a demand was here!

In front of some stores, there were blades and swords on display; the type that you would see in a jianghu and wuxia film. There were also many store owners that were energetically yelling out to catch the attention of the those around. The entire street was bustling with noise and excitement.

Le Yao Yao had never seen anything like this. She was very impressed by the view. There were continuous buildings all along the street and the path was very wide. Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but exclaim on the inside.

She really wasn’t dreaming. She really transmigrated!

She had transmigrated into an era that didn’t exist in history. Everything here was new and fresh to her. She knew she wouldn’t be able to return, but she wasn’t a pampered and spoiled flower. Since she was here, she might as well enjoy it! So, Le Yao Yao was determined to rise like the wind and water, and live a colourful life!!

Immediately, she was distracted by the cute gadgets and items around her.

Such as figurines, baby masks, makeup, and etc.

When Le Yao Yao and Xiao Mu Zi left the residence, they had taken off their eunuch uniforms and changed back into their original clothes. But underneath the clothes, she was still a girl. Shopping was a woman’s innate ability, ok?

Also, she had been under too much stress in the Prince’s residence. Now, Le Yao Yao didn’t care about anything. She just wanted to have fun!

Hence, Le Yao Yao was currently looking through some makeup items at a vendor’s stall. She was merrily poking through the items and testing this and that.

As for Xiao Mu Zi, he didn’t find it strange that Le Yao Yao was interested in these feminine items.

Because, they were eunuchs. Ever since he had to chop off his family jewel, he was gradually turning more feminine as well. Many eunuchs enjoy applying some cosmetics on their faces.

For example: the chief manager. Although he was already over fifty, he still enjoyed smearing makeup on his face and sprinkling perfume on himself.

So, Xiao Mu Zi will patiently wait for Le Yao Yao to go through the makeup.

As for the makeup vendor, he didn’t care whether his customers were male or female. They could be anything as long as he could make money. Therefore, he eagerly introduced all the products he had.

Le Yao Yao and Xiao Mu Zi were too engrossed into the makeup, so they didn’t notice a horse carriage that was heading rapidly straight at them.

The horse carriage was bashing sideways and colliding with everything. People were anxiously leaping away as curse words and screams could be heard everywhere.

Le Yao Yao finally noticed the commotion behind them, as she slowly turned around.

What she saw caused her heart to hang by a thread. Her beautiful pupils were instantly filled with horror.

The horse carriage was about to crash right into her. Based on the speed of the carriage and the strong horse hooves, if she was kicked, she would be a handicapped even if she survived.

At this moment, Le Yao Yao should have immediately shifted away. But she was in too much shock. It was as if someone had poured quicksilver all over her legs. She couldn’t move at all.

It seemed as if time was at a standstill. Everyone held their breaths as they looked on with disbelief. Everything sounded very faint and unreal.
