[R18] Quick Travel Heroine’s Counterattack Plan (h) – Chapter 260 of “Quick Travel Heroine’s Counterattack Plan (h)” [English]
byGirl Queen Mother(1)
In June of the 23rd year of Jianyuan, King Hu from the frontier gathered the surrounding tribes, large and small, and launched a coup.The rebels marched all the way to the north, capturing numerous cities of various sizes along the way, aiming directly at the imperial capital in the north.
However, at that time, the late emperor was bewitched by Taoist priests and was obsessed with practicing the art of immortality. He ignored the country and killed countless loyal ministers and generals. This led to political chaos in the imperial capital, unstable military morale, and the danger of national subjugation at any time.
At this time, Prince Xuanyuan Ce was ordered to lead an army of 200,000 in a bloody battle with the enemy.Under his leadership, the army turned defeat into victory, defeated the rebels, and defended the country.For a time, he’s prestige reached its peak in people’s hearts.
The late emperor died suddenly in his palace after taking too many so-called longevity pills.When the late emperor died, the whole group was left without a leader.With the support of all the ministers, Prince Xuanyuan Ce ascended the throne as emperor and was first called Emperor Zhaocheng.
As soon as Xuanyuan Ce ascended the throne, he began to implement the New Deal.He reorganizes the army and cancels exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes; re-establishes the official election system; builds schools to provide free lessons for poor children; implements a pension system to provide the elderly and widowed with someone to rely on…
His various initiatives are deeply supported by everyone.In just three years, the New Deal achieved great results. The imperial capital was politically stable, the economy was prosperous, the people lived a healthy life, and it was a prosperous era.
Zhaocheng three years.
It is early spring now, and the spring breeze is blowing across the earth. Peach blossoms are red, apricot blossoms are hundreds, willow leaves are green, and everything is full of life.The continuous drizzle moistens the earth, leaving behind beautiful shadows like smoke, fog, yarn, and silk.
Accompanied by the cool spring rain, in the bedroom of Zhaoyang Palace, a girl was sleeping happily, and her long breathing showed that she was sleeping peacefully.Suddenly, a spring thunder sounded, waking up the sleeping girl.
The girl’s eyebrows frowned slightly, her eyelids moved uneasily a few times, her eyelashes blinked, and she slowly opened her eyes.She stared blankly at the lake-green top of the bed tent, and it took a while for her eyes to regain clarity.
The girl sat up from the bed hugging the quilt. Since she had just woken up, her hair was a little messy, with a few strands scattered on her cheeks.The huge dormitory was quiet, and there was no one except the girl.
After a while, the bedroom door creaked and was pushed open from the outside. A palace maid in a pink dress walked in softly. Seeing that the girl was awake, she quickly walked a few steps to the girl and said, “Queen Mother, are you awake?”
Queen Mother? Are you calling yourself?The girl looked around. Apart from herself, the only one in front of her was the palace maid, who should be calling her.The girl suppressed the doubts in her heart and responded softly.
“The Queen Mother, would you like to wash up now?” the palace maid asked again.The girl, Leng Xiyan, nodded.
With Leng Xiyan’s permission, the palace maid slightly raised her voice and said, “Come here, help the Queen Mother wash up…”
After a while, dozens of palace maids filed in and lined up neatly, holding toiletries, clothes and jewelry in their hands.
Leng Xiyan sat up from the bed. The palace maid just held a cup of tea and offered it to her respectfully: “Empress Dowager, please rinse your mouth…”
Leng Xiyan took the tea from her hand and took a sip. In ancient times, there was no such thing as toothpaste. She put bamboo salt in the tea to act as mouthwash, but the taste was still quite good.She took a few mouthfuls and then spit it into the copper basin. Then, the palace maid gave her a clean kerchief for her to wipe her face with.
After washing up, it’s time to get dressed.Five or six maids gathered around her, looking at the complicated clothes in the hands of the maids. Leng Xiyan felt her scalp go numb at the thought of putting them on, but she could only endure and let the maids put them on for her.
It took a full stick of incense before Leng Xiyan got dressed.She thought she could breathe a sigh of relief, but she still had to put on makeup and comb her hair, which was another big project, so she had no choice but to continue to endure it.
The palace maids surrounded her and sat in front of the dressing table. They were about to pick up the rouge to put on her makeup. Leng Xiyan smelled such a strong smell of powder and felt disgusted. She had to put on makeup. After thinking about it, she took on the majesty of the queen mother and said, “Just put on light makeup for the Ai family and make the headdress simple…”
The palace maid was a little stunned, but quickly realized and responded in unison.Then, the palace maid dressed up Leng Xiyan in an orderly manner. After another stick of incense, she was finally done.
Leng Xiyan looked at herself in the bronze mirror: a face as big as a palm, curved willow-leaf eyebrows, eyelashes as long and curled as two small fans; a pair of big bright and spiritual eyes, a straight nose, and plump and moist cherry lips, which seemed to be coquettish when they were pursed.The already exquisite and beautiful facial features become even more beautiful after applying light makeup.With simple and refreshing makeup and low-key hair accessories, Leng Xiyan said she was very satisfied.
The girl looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was full of vitality.However, Leng Xiyan couldn’t help but feel curious that such a young man could be the master of the entire harem.
At this time, a palace maid came forward and asked: “Queen Mother, do you want to pass on the meal now?”
Leng Xiyan nodded, and then said: “You guys go down first, the Ai family wants to stay by themselves…” The palace maids responded respectfully in unison, and then exited.
Taking advantage of this time, Leng Xiyan called out the system and began to receive the plot of this world.
