Ren Xi sat beside the princess and asked tentatively, "Princess, can you tell me what kind of person the queen is?" ”

"The Queen? A foxy woman, a ruthless woman, and a jealous woman. Such an evaluation clearly shows the relationship between the two, no matter the princess in front of her, it is also appropriate to describe herself in such words, and she is not a fuel-efficient master.

"She had a younger brother, who had just come from the Medes, and heard from the servants that his name was Nebu Xuanye, and that he was extremely amorous and savage, and often went outside the palace to catch some women for pleasure."

"What? Xuanye..."Ren Yan swallowed back halfway and said, "Since this Nebu Xuanye is the younger brother of the queen, he should be the prince of Medes, how can he stay in our palace in Babylon?" ”

The princess raised her eyebrows, pouted and smiled, "What prince, a prince, like her sister, is not welcomed in Medes, and has to go to the palace of Babylon." ”

It turns out that this is the case, needless to say, the real prince who came to Babylon must have encountered an accident on the way, and Xuan Ye took the opportunity to borrow him.

"Mother, what are you looking for me? I'm playing with Uncle Xuanye. A boy in a full-length robe and a yellow shawl jumped up in front of the princess, who rubbed the prince's head fondly, "Look how sweaty you are, how many times have you told you not to play with that Nebuxuanye, he's a villain." ”

The prince blinked his pure eyes and smiled at his mother, "Mother, he is not a bad person, Uncle Genno is interesting, he knows a lot of games that I have never heard of." ”

An eight- or nine-year-old little prince, who is innocent and only knows how to play, how can he know what a bad guy is, as long as he can play together, he is a good friend.

It's just that this Xuanye can play with an eight- or nine-year-old child, he really convinces him, and he is only eight or nine-year-old IQ, which is not much longer Ren Juan laughed in her heart.

"Who are you?" The prince blinked his long eyelashes and pursed his thin lips to look at Ren Yan curiously.

It may be that he is having a good time, the prince's red little face, like a big apple, is very cute, and this child is much kinder than his mother.

"This is the priest who exorcises demons for the mother, let her protect you to and from school in the future." The princess smiled softly at the prince.

"Mother, as long as I have the protection of a slave, let this priest protect my mother." It's a sensible and filial child.

Ren Jian and the princess glanced at each other and smiled knowingly, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Princess, don't worry, I will protect both of you." ”

After speaking, Ren Juan nodded to the princess and signaled her to rest assured, because the little prince is young, and there are some things such as using bird spirits to protect the prince, Ren Juan feels that she can't let the prince know, and it's not good to be accidentally told by the prince.

The prince jumped up and down with the attendants to go out to play, and the princess arranged for Ren Juan to live in her own Gula Courtyard.

----------------------------------------------

A very chic room, with gilded walls and a ceiling embossed of glazed bricks, a large pale green bed on one side, covered with the same pale green light linen draperies, and a wooden table carved with an antelope motif at the head of the bed, which was the Babylonian dining table, where Ren Juan had been enjoying himself for a few days in the last few days.

The slave girls brought porcelain plates and waited for Ren Jian to wash her hands, followed by four or five slave girls with porcelain plates and glassware, and after a while the table was full of food, a piece of fruit cake, a glass of barley beer, a straw in the glass, a lettuce and mutton mix, and a plate of figs and dates.

Ren Juan lay on the bed, picked up the glass without a handle and a metal carved lion's head at the bottom, took a sip of beer thousands of years ago with a straw, and took a bite of a fruit cake, and finally passed the addiction of a luxurious life.

Finally eating and drinking until the night, Ren Juan lay down and took a nap again, and woke up in the middle of the night on time, Ren Juan changed into a night dress she brought with her, she had to check the "suspects" with Entu's name engraved on her chest in the palace one by one, and the first thing to check was all the people in the Gula Courtyard, including those servants and children.

Walking in the glittering Gurabe Courtyard, I didn't take a good look at this courtyard during the day, I didn't expect this to be a courtyard in the courtyard, there are at least thirty or forty rooms in it, four or five rooms surround a small courtyard in the city, each small courtyard has its own flower beds, green plants.

In the middle of the night, except for the attendants on duty, everyone else slept quite soundly, Ren Juan avoided the attendants who kept vigil, carefully pushed open every room, touched the bed, lifted the quilt one by one, lifted the underwear, and looked carefully at their chests, regardless of men and women, the flower thief was not as rampant as himself, Ren Juan sighed in her heart, dear spirit baby, but she must stay up until Ren Juan finds out the person who is under the Gu.

After a night of investigation, the attendants who kept vigil at the door also hypnotized and checked, but unfortunately, no suspicious person was found.

In one night, everyone in the Gula Courtyard was dismissed, and Ren Jian returned to her room and fell asleep, too tired after a night of tossing.

On the second day, the footsteps of the slave girl woke up Ren Juan who was sleeping soundly, rubbed her eyes, the sun had already sunburned on her bed, it seemed that she was waking up late, Ren Juan sat up, the maid waited to freshen up, and ate some breakfast on the bed.

The maid pushed open the door of the room and said to Ren Yan, "Dear Banu, the queen has sent a message to you to Nanna Villa today, saying that there is a special person who wants to see you. ”

Ren Jian looked up and replied impatiently, "Take me there." "You don't have to think much about it to know that Xuan Ye must have heard that he had come to the palace, and this was summoning himself as an uncle.

Ren Juan wore a pale green robe, embroidered with marjoram petals on the collar, a leek-colored shawl, and some rue incense on her body, all of which were prepared by the princess for Ren Juan.

Along the asphalt road outside the Gurabe, passing the king's palace, more than 100 meters to the west is the queen's Nanna Courtyard, the gate is made of bronze, the lintel has a number of bull's gilded carvings, push open the gate, what catches your eye is dazzling gold, the entire outer wall of the Nanna Courtyard is gilded, it seems that the king is quite fond of this queen, and his ancestor who built the hanging garden for the queen has a fight.

The middle lintel of the palace is a geometric pattern made of glazed bricks, all kinds of flowers, mythical beasts, see Ren Juan has a feeling of dizziness, into the central hall, the gilded walls and roof, by the morning sun red halo reflected a little dazzling, Ren Juan rubbed her eyes, saw two people sitting on the central gilded chair, a man wearing a white robe, wearing a dark red shawl with long hair, is the timid and love to enjoy Xuanye.

The young woman next to her should be a year or two older than Ren Juan, and the woman with a purple and gold shawl over her robe must be the queen.

Ren Yan hurriedly walked a few steps forward and gave a deep salute, "Say hello to the queen." ”

"Don't you see that there's still me?" Xuan Ye looked at Ren Yan with bad intentions.

"Hello Uncle Guo!" Ren Yan raised her head and glared at Xuan Ye.

The queen looked at Ren Jian with a smile, such an expression made Ren Jian very uncomfortable, originally according to the description of the princess, the queen should be angry at herself, even if she didn't look at herself, she had to look high, I didn't expect her to be extremely kind expression, and look at the queen's face, apricot eyes Mingren, clear eyes, red lips and plain teeth, emerald hair and eyebrows, graceful posture, a smile and a smile have everyone's breath, the posture of the mother of the country, this is an extremely dignified and approachable queen.

"Do you know why I called you to my sister's palace?" Xuan Ye still sat there on the ground and spoke to Ren Yan.

Ren Juan pursed her lips impatiently, "Uncle Guo, if you have anything, just say it directly, my humble temple Banu will definitely listen carefully." Ren Yan's words were obviously angry.

The queen finally couldn't help it, and hurriedly pretended to blame Xuan Ye, "Brother, look at you, didn't you say that Banu was the one who saved your life on your way to the palace, you came to the capital together, and you are very good friends, isn't this what you said?" Helper, you don't want to thank you well, you talk yin and yang, my sister doesn't like to listen to it. Although the queen is blamed, she is full of warmth, and this queen loves her brother very much, and she is also very understanding.

Xuan Ye stood up from his seat, "Okay, Mo Jiu, I won't tease you, I asked my sister to call you, you don't know, that princess of Gula Besin is bad,"

"Don't talk nonsense, didn't my sister tell you, don't talk about other princesses behind your back, they are all women who are waiting for the king, they should be a family, don't speculate on other people's thoughts, do your own things well."

The queen stopped Xuanye's words.

Xuan Ye tilted his head to the side helplessly, "Sister, I have never seen such a kind queen as you, don't say anything else, just say that the day before yesterday, in front of the king, the princess of the Gula Courtyard stole how much limelight you had, Mo Jiu, I tell you, you must not stay in the Gula Courtyard, you will be in danger, I asked Sister Wang to prepare a room for you, and you will stay in the Nanna Courtyard in the future." ”

Xuanye's extreme retention made Jiu'er not know how to refuse, and secretly scolded in his heart: This stupid person, I don't know if this goddess has a mysterious mission, what is the chaos.

Seeing that Banu was embarrassed and silent, the queen's eyes were slightly upturned, and she said gently: "Brother Wang, you see that you are always childish, Banu has his own mission to enter the palace, how can he easily change the other courtyard, do you think that changing the other courtyard is as simple as you think?" Banu temporarily changed the courtyard, could it be that Princess Gula was not well entertained? ”

The queen patted Xuanye's arm lightly, turned her head to Ren Ji and said: "Banu, don't listen to my royal brother's nonsense, he is just a child, what is to judge only by intuition, Princess Gula is fine, it is safe to live with her, I see that you don't have an attendant by your side to take care of you, so I will send you two attendants to take care of you." ”

A seat of words shows the benevolence and intelligence of the Babylonian queen, who does not speak ill of Princess Gula, but at the same time arranges a "retinue" for Jiu'er, which is actually a personal "bodyguard".

Ren Xi smiled sweetly at the queen, "Queen, no need, thank you for your kindness, believe me, Banu will definitely take care of himself." The implication of Ren Xi's words is that he will not be in danger, please rest assured in the future.

The queen in front of her seems to be very trustworthy on the surface, so should the queen here be checked? Ren Xi thought quietly in her heart.

Check, tonight, everyone in the Nanna Courtyard, Ren Juan secretly decided in her heart that she would rule out the suspicion of the queen first, and she would get along well with Xuan Ye in the palace in the future.
