Empress Lü sneered and sat down opposite him and Fengfeng. Fengfeng was taken aback for a moment, then slammed her hand on the table and said, "I knew you had a wife!" She turned to Empress Lü and said, "Sister, let's not talk about anything else. We're both victims. It's a well-established fact that men are all scoundrels. But then again, at our age, all that talk about love and affection is nonsense. Isn't a little bit of foolishness just for the pleasure of that thing under our bellies? So don't take it too seriously. You're so beautiful and have such a good temperament. In the end, any man will definitely be unable to let you go. If you're willing, we can be friends from now on; if you feel you can't let this go, I'll disappear immediately."
The fierce female bootlegger completely fooled the Empress of the Han Dynasty. Empress Lü was known for her shrewishness and gloom, but she had probably never heard of such things as "that thing under the belly" before, especially since the other party was a woman. Her face turned red, but at the same time, she felt that the other party was experienced and insightful, and could be considered a heroine among women. She couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie and couldn't help but smile. She said, "Look at what you're saying. I didn't mean to blame you. From now on, we sisters should be closer and help Old Liu to manage internal and external affairs. That would be a good thing."
This time, the Empress of the Great Han Dynasty shocked the bootleggers. According to them, she wanted two women to serve one husband. Although Fengfeng was fierce, the mistress was not in the right. They hoped that the Empress would not cause a scene and make things difficult for everyone, which would be a good ending. They never expected that she could have such a broad mind—at least 36E!
Chapter 217 Borrowing Some Crabs
Fengfeng paused for a moment before asking Liu Bang, "Has your wife been driven crazy by me?"
Empress Lü said, "Sister, I'm serious."
After a moment of distraction, Fengfeng said, "Let's talk about something else—Big sister, where did you buy those clothes?"
Empress Lü looked down at herself and said, "I found this myself on the street just now. The person selling things told me it was a famous brand and seemed very expensive?"
Fengfeng said, "Hmm, that person still has a conscience; he didn't give you what I made." As she spoke, she slung her small handbag over Empress Lü's shoulder and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, elder sister, this bag suits you perfectly!"
Liu Bang couldn't help but say, "They're trying to fool people with fake goods again."
Fengfeng said, "Nonsense, of course it's true that I use it myself, it's the latest LV!"
Tong Yuan, Hu Sanniang, and others nearby commented, "This bag really suits Sister Lü perfectly; she exudes the aura of a high-level executive."
Empress Lü's cheeks flushed, and she kept asking, "Really? Really?"
Fengfeng said, "Give this bag to my eldest sister; it would be a waste for me to carry it."
Empress Lü said shyly, "How could I accept this?" The two women called each other "sister" and "younger sister," instantly becoming very close.
We were all dumbfounded. It turns out that to bribe a man, you only need to give him a woman, while to bribe a woman, you only need a compliment.
I shook my head and smiled, "I knew long ago that Sister Lü couldn't beat Fengfeng."
Baozi asked, "How did you know?"
I said, "Even the United Nations can't stop piracy, let alone Sister Lü, a mere Empress of the Han Dynasty."
At this moment, the head chef, the Qin Dynasty's God of Cookery, walked up to Qin Shi Huang and whispered a few words in his ear. The fat man's eyes lit up immediately, and he waved his hands repeatedly, shouting, "Quiet down! Quiet down!" Everyone asked, "What's wrong, Brother Ying?"
The head chef stepped forward, beaming with pride, and said, "The surprise dish I promised everyone is ready. My skills are lacking, so please excuse my poor presentation." As he spoke, Zhao Gao carefully emerged, carrying a jade cup. Everyone immediately fell silent. This had been one of the biggest suspensees of the day; the chef's skills had already been witnessed and were truly exceptional. He had said there was one last signature dish, and many were eagerly anticipating it. Looking at the jade cup Zhao Gao held, it was truly crystal clear and lustrous, perhaps even carved from the He Shi Bi jade disc. Though the contents of the cup could not be seen, the aroma was already irresistible from afar. Most of those present came from wealthy families, and they couldn't help but grab their chopsticks and rush to the cup, afraid of missing this one and only chance to taste such exquisite cuisine.
Zhao Gao placed the cup on the table, but Qin Shi Huang quickly pressed his hand down on the top. The crowd shouted, "Open it! Open it!" At this moment, intense curiosity took over; everyone wanted to see what was inside, and eating it became secondary. To show his respect, Jiang Menshen ran outside, saying, "I'll go set off the cannons." Seeing that he had attracted enough attention, Qin Shi Huang suddenly lifted the lid, and everyone instinctively crowded around to see, exclaiming in surprise, "So that's it?"
...Outside the door, Jiang Menshen personally lit the six cannons he had brought from the restaurant. Wang Basan strolled out, carrying a bowl, and asked, "Brother, what type of cannons are these?"
Jiang Menshen asked in return, "Is it open inside? What's the main dish?"
Wang Ba San said while slurping his tomato and egg noodles, "You'll see when you see it."
At 3 PM, the banquet was still ongoing. The Yue Family Army 300 arrived in a flash, and Li Jingshui and Wei Tiezhu ran over and warmly greeted me, "Brother Xiao!"
I greeted the young soldiers with a smile, and then I noticed a tough-looking general in full military uniform walking calmly at the end of the line. Judging by his appearance, he was none other than the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of our city. Beside him, Qin Hui was sneaking around. I went over and patted him on the shoulder, laughing, "You old bastard, you've finally done something good in your life!"
Qin Hui chuckled and said, "You don't know, it took 12 imperial edicts to bring him back from the front lines this time!"
Yue Fei asked in bewilderment, "Why use 'again'?"
I chuckled and said, "Let the soldiers take their seats first. As for the grudges between you two and Jin Wuzhu—you'll have to go to Teacher Chen for psychological counseling."
The arrival of the 300th anniversary brought the atmosphere of the celebration to a new climax, like adding fuel to the fire. Kangxi and Wu Sangui, mediated by Xuanzang, had shaken hands and made peace, and the two old men went off to drink. Xuanzang, holding a steamed bun, beckoned to Yue Fei, Qin Hui, and Jin Wuzhu, saying, "Come on, it's your turn, the three of you. Who wants to go first?"
Amidst the singing and dancing, a bright-eyed, beautiful young woman peered into the hall from the entrance. Cao Xiaoxiang, with her sharp eyes, jumped off Cao Cao's lap and called out, "Teacher Ni!"
Ni Siyu touched Cao Xiaoxiang's head and finally saw me. She waved to me repeatedly and said, "Xiaoqiang, come out for a moment."
I came out slightly tipsy, glanced at her, and laughed, "You don't even call me 'brother,' how disrespectful! I'll spank you."
But the little girl didn't seem to be in the mood to joke around with me today. She cautiously glanced inside first. I suddenly realized, "Missing your big brother?" Then I turned around and called out, "Brother Yu, someone's looking for you—"
Ni Siyu waved her hands frantically, saying, "Don't call him, I came here because of him."
I asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Ni Siyu rubbed the hem of her clothes and said, "I heard that big brother and Zhang Bing are together."
I teased her on purpose, saying, "So what?"
The little girl said slowly, "It's nothing, as long as big brother is happy, I'm happy."
"Wow, that's amazing?"
Ni Siyu, oblivious to my teasing, stomped her foot and said angrily, "But today I saw Zhang Bing with that basketball center, holding hands..."
It seems Zhang Bing and Zhang Shuai have finally gotten together. I'm quite relieved that she's been able to forget that painful memory. Zhang Shuai is a pretty good guy. Speaking of which, Zhang Bing, or rather Xiao Huan, is lucky. She either finds a handsome guy or the younger brother of a high-ranking military officer.
I teased Xiaoyu again, saying, "Wouldn't that be better? You'd have one less competitor."
Ni Siyu glared at him and said, "Why don't you understand? I'm afraid he'll be heartbroken if he finds out!"
Xiang Yu strode out, and after only half-understanding the conversation, he asked, "Who are you afraid of hurting?"
Upon seeing Xiang Yu, Ni Siyu couldn't help but go over, grab his hand, and exclaim with a joyful voice, "Big brother!"
Xiang Yu let her hold his hand and jump around like a true older brother doting on his younger sister, and finally smiled and said, "What are you two talking about?"
Ni Siyu tried to cover it up, saying, "It's nothing, just chatting." I tried to interject several times, but she glared at me and stopped me.
Xiang Yu didn't seem to mind, casually asking Ni Siyu about her recent situation while holding her small hand. The little girl, however, seemed preoccupied; her words were vague, and her gaze darted back and forth. Suddenly, she froze, as if frozen in place. I followed her gaze and saw Yu Ji standing behind us, her hand gently resting on her pregnant belly, smiling silently at Xiang Yu and the little girl, one big and one small.
