I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1945 - 1947: Come On, Let’s Eat

Chapter 1945: Chapter 1947: Come On, Let’s Eat
To be honest, even He Jin herself did not expect you to summon her from Huaguo City to Xuzhou City.
Ever since arriving on Penglai Island, He Jin has lived a very simple life. She personally raises silkworms and weaves cloth with a few maids you specially assigned to her, and she also does some leisurely farm work, so the aura of luxury on her gradually faded. Of course, in Huaguo City, no one dares to look at He Jin too much. The eight maids you assigned to her are all quite formidable, and you granted them the power to kill first and later. Any male who approaches He Jin would be killed by them immediately.
He Jin came with Zhao Yu and Huang Yueying. At first, neither Zhao Yu nor Huang Yueying knew anything about her background, and He Jin also tried to keep her distance from the two women, so there wasn’t much interaction during the journey.
Including He Jin, nine women now all turned to look at you. Among them, Zhen Luo and Zhen Jiang know about He Jin’s existence, are clear about her identity, and the three have a fairly good relationship. However, at this moment, they couldn’t say much.
Your thick skin puts even the walls of Xuzhou City to shame. Being stared at by nine stunningly beautiful women, you don’t feel the slightest bit of restraint or discomfort, and you boldly sit on the Family Head’s throne. At this moment, you gesture to He Jin to come over, and He Jin, with her head down, slowly walks to your side under the intense gaze of the other women.
Holding He Jin’s willow waist, you say to the women, "You don’t need to guess anymore, I’ll just say it directly. Her name is He Jin. By age, she should be your elder sister, and by seniority, she should be after Jiang’er. However, you are all concubines, so there’s no need to mind these details. Anyway, we have plenty of money and houses. Due to He Jin’s special status, her identity can’t be made public for the time being."
Such shameless things you have done quite a bit, and Zhao Yu and the other women are quite used to it. After all, they are well aware that no matter how many women join later, they can’t threaten their current status.
However, at this moment, you add a sentence that almost makes the women who don’t know He Jin’s identity cry out: "Right, He Jin’s former identity should be the Empress Dowager, and that Minor Emperor Liu Bian is her son."
Mi Xiang gently tugs at Zheng Zhi’s sleeve and whispers, "Isn’t this a bit too explosive?"
Zheng Zhi, however, looks indifferent. Let alone the Empress Dowager, if you like, she’ll even bring the Grand Empress Dowager for you!
However, Zhao Yu, Zhen Luo, and Huang Yueying sense something unusual in the air.
The three women almost simultaneously exchange glances, then Zhao Yu speaks up and asks, "Husband, do you have something to say? Don’t hold back, the sisters are getting a bit hungry. After you finish speaking, let’s eat."
"Can’t hide anything from my Yu’er, right? I’ll just say it directly." You pick up a wine cup and down a drink. "Cao Cao has welcomed that Liu Xie to Xuchang for some time now. He orders this and that every day, it’s so annoying. Although I have pretty thick skin, with him parading the Emperor in front of me every day, it’s made me a bit unhappy. Plus, Old Guo and Old Zhang keep saying we need a legitimate reason, so I’ve thought about it. After the New Year, I’ll make an Emperor myself."
"Husband, you mustn’t!" Ren Hongchang reacts very excitedly, "Didn’t Yuan Shu proclaim himself Emperor after getting some Imperial Seal, and he..."
Before she finishes, Ren Hongchang notices Zhao Yu winking at her, and Zhen Luo slightly shaking her head at her, so Ren Hongchang stops speaking.
"Heh heh, you don’t get it, do you?" You hug He Jin and plant a kiss on her smooth cheek, smiling, "This has to do with our Empress Dowager He’s Minor Emperor. That little rascal has been held on Penglai Island for half a year, and his bad temper has eased quite a bit. Although I know he must hate me deeply, but I’m still going to push him out there. Cao Cao has his thing about commanding the vassals under the guise of the Emperor, so old Li will do the same! As for what the other vassals will say, I couldn’t care less!"
Zhao Yu and Zhen Luo exchange a glance and ponder, "This plan is feasible, but that Minor Emperor... might not surrender easily, right?"
"To put it bluntly, he’s just a puppet. I’ve toyed with his mother, why would I care about him? Just let Old Guo build a small palace in Xuzhou for him, with high walls, guarded by two hundred guards. As for palace maids, just pick two or three."
Finally, you add, "By the way, does Xiang Xiang’s family have any nieces or something? We can give him an Imperial Concubine to save other palace maids from his harassment."
The women nod, and the matter is settled so easily and elegantly.
"Come on, let’s eat!"
You let go and have He Jin sit between Zhen Jiang and Zhen Luo, since all three have served you together before and have a good relationship.
Just as the family joyfully eats a New Year’s Eve dinner, a guard s from outside, "General, there are people outside asking to see you, claiming to be your old acquaintances from Jingzhou."
For many of your subordinates, Jingzhou is a name they can’t even bear to mention. After all, you did lose that battle and were chased like a stray dog by Liu Bei’s soldiers.
To be honest, Liu Bei is actually the biggest winner this time. Although Cai Mao ultimately controlled Jingzhou City, Liu Bei, relying on Liu Biao’s eldest son Liu Qi, controlled a large area of land excluding Nanjun, Jiangxia Army, and Changsha County. In other words, the current Jingzhou City actually is under Liu Bei’s control.
To outsiders, hearing the name Jingzhou would surely make you furious, or at least show some emotional change, but upon hearing it, you continue to smile and say to the guard outside the door, "Isn’t it delightful to have friends come from afar? Please bring the old friends in!"
Soon, the guard returns with three people. The three walked with different strides, two of them draped in heavy fur, making it hard to see their looks; naturally, the person walking at the forefront is your old friend Wang Can.
Wang Can gets inside, barely having time to observe, and immediately bows to you sitting in the center: "Wang Can, pays respects to Lord!"
"So it’s our Student Wang! Why aren’t you home spending New Year’s with your wife, what brings you to me?"
Seeing Wang Can, your facial expression doesn’t change. Always smiling, leaving people unable to decipher your thoughts.
"My Lord, I..."
"Since you’re here, how about having a few drinks with me!" You casually grab a jug of wine from the table and walk over with two cups. Handing one to Wang Can, you fill both cups, laughing, "Toast to the brim!"
Amidst hearty laughter, you drain your cup, and Wang Can naturally accompanies you.
"Who are these two?" You look at the two behind Wang Can, both keeping their heads down with hoods covering their faces. However, you see that one of them is petite, likely a woman. You pat Wang Can on the shoulder, grinning, "Zhong Xuan, you’re something, forgoing a good place like Jingzhou to bring the family to Xuzhou! Come on, tonight we’re drinking to the fill!"
"Lord." Seeing you so enthusiastic, Wang Can hastily stops you and says softly, "Actually..."
