[R18] Quick Travel Heroine’s Counterattack Plan (h) – Chapter 394 of “Quick Travel Heroine’s Counterattack Plan (h)” [English]

The royal concubine arrives(1)

In Luanfeng Palace.

The palace ladies stood guard in the outer hall in an orderly manner without making any noise.On the large bed in the inner hall, a young girl was lying.She was breathing long, obviously having a good dream.

“Well…” The girl let out a cry, her long eyelashes like crow feathers trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.She looked around blankly, unable to tell where she was.After a while, she came to her senses, “Yuping…” She called her personal maid.

After a while, the door of the inner hall was pushed open, and a maid in pink palace clothes walked in, “My Lady, you are awake…”

“Well… what time is it now?” Leng Xiyan rubbed her eyes sleepily.

“Your Majesty, it’s half past Chen time…” Yuping said respectfully.

“Oh… help me wash up…” Leng Xiyan yawned delicately.

Yuping turned around and gave orders outside. The maids filed in, holding toiletries in their hands.Yuping offered a cup of tea, Leng Xiyan took a sip and then spit it out.In ancient times, there was no toothpaste, so bamboo salt was used instead of mouthwash.Yuping twisted another wet handkerchief to wipe her face, and then she and other maids helped her dress.

Leng Xiyan opened her arms, half-lidded her eyes, and let the maids dress her.”One…two…three…” Layers of clothes were put on her, so heavy that she could hardly breathe.Not only that, but there were all kinds of headwear. Leng Xiyan felt that she was so heavy that she could hardly walk.

“Yuping, let’s discuss it. Don’t wear such cumbersome clothes for me next time. Your young lady is about to die…” Leng Xiyan looked at her sadly.

“But little… empress, you are a noble concubine, so you should dress like this according to your rank…” Yuping looked at her helplessly.

“This dress and headdress are too heavy… Just promise me…” Leng Xiyan pulled her sleeves and started to act coquettishly.

“This…” Yuping had some hesitation on her face.

Seeing that Yuping’s attitude had relaxed, Leng Xiyan kept up her efforts, “Anyway, it won’t happen in my own palace… I promise you, when I go out, I will wear clothes that represent the imperial concubine… okay…” She’s voice was waxy, and she looked at her expectantly.

“Okay…” Yuping couldn’t stand her young lady’s coquettishness, so she could only agree.

“That’s great, I know Yuping loves me…” “Bah!” Leng Xiyan kissed Yuping on the face, and then looked at her with bright eyes.

The maids around her were covering their mouths and snickering. Yuping blushed a little: Your Majesty is really like a child.

Leng Xiyan was very happy after solving a problem that caused her a lot of headaches.However, looking at the delicious food on the table in front of her, she began to feel a headache again: eighteen dishes in total!It’s just breakfast, do you need to eat so much?And this is just for one person!

“Yuping…don’t you think…today’s breakfast is a bit too much?” Leng Xiyan said tentatively.

“Not much… The Queen’s breakfast has twenty-four dishes…” Yuping looked disapproving.

“Two…twenty-four dishes?” Leng Xiyan almost choked. Isn’t this too exaggerated? If you eat like this every day, how much food will be wasted? It’s really sinful…

“Yuping… let’s do this. In the future, breakfast will be changed to six courses. I really can’t eat so much…” Leng Xiyan thought for a while before speaking.She originally wanted to change it to four channels, but that seemed a bit shabby, so after thinking about it, I decided not to.

“Six ways?!” Yuping looked in disbelief, then shook her head firmly, “Mother, this is absolutely impossible. You are a noble concubine, how can you eat so shabbily?”

“Why is it so shabby? Think about it, even the New Year’s Eve dinner may not have so many dishes for the common people outside the palace, but this palace is just a breakfast, which is already very rich. Do you want to make my conscience uneasy if it is more?” Leng Xiyan retorted her.

“This? Your Majesty is right…” Yuping continued, “But Your Majesty, the other concubines all eat twelve dishes. If you eat so little, you will be laughed at by them… Moreover, the people in our palace will also be looked down upon by the people in the other palaces…”

Hearing this, Leng Xiyan was a little discouraged: Well, she really didn’t think about this… “Then what should I do according to you?” Leng Xiyan looked at Yuping.

“How about this, change it to fifteen dishes, and reduce the portion of each dish by one-third…” Yuping said after thinking.

Fifteen dishes is still a bit much… Leng Xiyan thought for a while, “Okay… But you also have to sit down and eat with me…” Her eyes wandered around Yuping and the maids.

“Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible…” Yuping was shocked, “You are the master and we are the slaves. How can a slave eat at the same table as the master?”

“What’s wrong with slaves? We’re all human beings, so why can’t you eat at the same table with me? I don’t care, you have to sit down and eat with me, or I won’t eat!” Leng Xiyan directly said “threat”.

“This?” Yuping hesitated for a while and had to compromise, “Okay… Why don’t you kneel down and thank the empress?” Yuping looked at the palace maid behind her.

Hearing this, the maids knelt down and kowtowed in thanks, “I thank you for your grace…”

“Okay…” Leng Xiyan waved her hand nonchalantly, “Hurry up and sit down and eat with me, it’s getting cold…”

The maids agreed and then sat down to eat with Leng Xiyan, without making any sound.
