Chapter 93: Traveling to Ancient Egypt (11)
Tibka was not just hesitant, but more surprised. Come to think of it, although he and Prince Gukla are almost the same in size, how can they say that they can't deceive people in appearance, and how can Pharaoh get along with each other in such a way to deal with emergencies, which is not a good way at all in Tib's opinion!
"You also know that the prince suddenly ran away from the marriage, and I also had an expedient measure, and you are almost similar to my son before I asked you for help......"
"But the prince's face is almost known to the people!"
After hearing Tibka's words, Pharaoh suddenly stroked his beard and laughed, then patted Tibka on the shoulder again, and said confidently, "It's not a problem to cover your face." ”
So saying, he sent for a beast-headed mask from the palanquin, and put it on for him himself, despite Tibka's surprised expression.
"Look, that's fine!"
"I'm afraid it's still a little inappropriate, after all, the prince's status is unusual. ”
"It's okay, it's just that I asked you to marry Ninila for Gukla, and after you become a child, Ninila will still be Gukla's wife, and you will still be Tulatu's apprentice, and nothing will change. ”
The words were all said by Pharaoh to this point, and Tibka had no reason to excuse himself. With the mask that Pharaoh had put on him with his own hands, he could not speak, so he nodded lightly and signaled his consent.
Things were already going on as scheduled, and the group, which had been stagnant not far from the concentration site, set off again, and after a short distance, they reached the center of the concentration center.
The gongs and drums sounded, and the rows of people in coarse linen robes danced one after the other to the sound of the drums, and it was their dance, which was only performed during grand ceremonies or gatherings.
They have thick eyebrows and fine eyeliner. Bird feathers and chicken feathers are inserted on their heads, dancing to the sound of drums, as if they have been trained in dance for a long time, their bodies are weak and boneless, their hands are spread, and their dancing is undulating like water waves.
These professional dancers, all men, formed a big circle, and in the middle of it were Ninira and the masked prince Gukla, of course, the fake prince.
After dancing for a long time, the dance was finally over, and the high priest opened the altar again and invited the gods, and poured blessings to the prince and princess, which alone took more than half an hour.
"Mourn all the people of Egypt, today is the wedding day of my prince and princess, please bless them!"
As soon as the great drum sounded, and when the rest of the sound had settled, Pharaoh shouted loudly at the top of his voice. This is undoubtedly the most sacred moment, which means that the prince of the country is about to start a family of his own, and in the future, the prince and princess are likely to be the new masters of the country.
"God, may the prince of my country be blessed with a happy life! I thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
The surrounding people knelt down in unison to worship, and everyone was shouting this sentence in their mouths, shouting with all their might, and the momentum was instantly immense.
Then the princess put on her embroidered cloak and robe for the prince herself, and the prince and the princess gazed affectionately, then kissed the bride's cheek, and finally embraced each other.
Then, the Pharaoh had to hold the hands of the bride and groom on the left and right sides, and speak to the people something that would benefit the country and the future of the country, and then the high priest Turatu would finish the game, and he would have to say some prayers aloud.
Once this is done, everything is over, and the prince and princess are officially completed in the wedding ceremony.
These steps are simple but complex. At the end of the day, the excitement was lively, but it was tiring to the crowd of dancers and prayers, as well as the bride and groom, because they had to stand there for several hours, even if their legs and feet were sore, until the end of the wedding ceremony.
Finally, they regrouped and set off in a long line back to the palace.
Pharaoh finally breathed a long sigh of relief, because during the whole wedding ceremony, no one found out that the prince was looking for someone to pretend, and relatively speaking, his substitution plan was very smoothly completed. Now that everyone knew that the prince had formed a family, it would be too late for Gukra to get rid of the marriage when he returned to the palace.
Thinking of this, Pharaoh couldn't help but feel angry. The prodigal man threw down Ninira and ran away without saying a word, and he did something that disgraced the royal family.
However, the prince is a prince after all, and he still needs to send someone to find it.
This time, Pharaoh sent a number of men with strong physical strength, and the rest continued on their way to the palace.
Inside the palace –
Pharaoh looked at the masked Tibka, laughed happily, and took off the mask himself.
"You apprentice, I haven't paid much attention to it before, but now that I look closely, I actually look more handsome than my prodigal son! Seeing him perform a ceremony on the stage, but he has all aspects, and he has a bit of my royal demeanor, which is really good!"
Glancing at the high priest Turatus, Pharaoh couldn't help but point to Tibka and praise, his eyes were more different.
"Where, this is still because of the orderly governance of the country by Pharaoh, otherwise, where would there be a general talent like Tibuka!"
"Oh, yes! haha......"
The words of the high priest Turatus were so pleasing to Pharaoh that he immediately took Turatus to the antechamber to drink tea and wine. It happened to be the prince's wedding day, so you can't drink it without getting drunk.
For a time, all the people in the palace were in a state of joy. However, there was one person who was sullen at this time.
That's Princess Ninila!
was quite looking forward to getting married, and her cousins and cousins of the same age all got married one by one, but her father was reluctant to let her be a year and a half late, which she could understand. However, I finally looked forward to the day of marriage, but this incident happened again - my brother Gukla escaped from marriage!
If you don't want to marry, just say no, why run away halfway, it's not just cowardice, but also irresponsible!
Thinking of this, Ninila huffed, wiped her tears, and took off her new clothes angrily. Speaking of this new dress, it was made by her own hands when her mother was alive.
A pure white linen pleated skirt, surrounded by circles of white pearls, round and luster, undoubtedly revealed. This pearl was sewn by her mother with a needle and thread, and Ninila also liked it very much.
But now, impatiently, she took it off, threw it on the ground, and went to sleep.
……
A full day has passed since the day of the princess's wedding, and the people who were sent out have all returned.
When he heard that those people had returned to the palace with Gukla, although the pharaoh complained about his son on the surface, he was happy in his heart. The prince, who had disappeared for a few days, finally returned, and as a father, putting aside the identity of the pharaoh king, he was distressed after all.
