"Try to avoid making noise, such as grinding or sucking." —Giovanni, Italy, 16th century. A pamphlet entitled "On Parenting" written by Casa

"That is not good, for I am your guardian from childhood, and of Caesarion, and the former is your father, the king of the family; The latter authorizer is Caesar, the owner of land and sea. My power over your mother and child is unshakable, and when I sailed to Nicomedia, the navigator always asked me why I didn't come ashore from the port of Egypt to see this mysterious and beautiful country. I rejected them with a wry smile, because I knew Cleopatra, and you still hated me. After Li Bida finished asking, he pointed to the documents, and those documents recorded this passage truthfully.

"Why don't I hate you? Yes, you saved the country, but you also ruined me, completely ruined, and turned me into a pathetic woman who has lost her true desire for love and only seeks power and lust, do you know what is the difference between a woman without this thing and a soft shell with a broken backbone? Cleopatra looked at Lybida, the more excited she became, and the more she spoke, the more angry she became, and finally her blue eyebrows widened, and her ornaments jingled, and she pointed her finger at the guilty high priest, "I can still remember that night, when I was like a warm current of love blessed by the gods, but I slammed into you, a reef that was as hard as iron, my self-esteem, my fantasies, and my glory. It's all completely shattered like foam. Completely shattered. Completely. With that, Cleopatra's breath surged to her chest, and her whole body rose and fell with emotion and resentment, and then she leaned back on the back of her chair with her beautiful forehead and the bridge of her nose, as if she was about to die.

The clerk and the attendants froze, and they stopped once more and looked at the high priest in amazement.

"This paragraph—it may be erased and not written," said the high priest, a little wolf.

"You're an incompetent guy. You're a loveless minion of power, Liberdaus! Cleopatra suddenly sat up straight from the back of her chair, clenched her fists, and screamed directly, shaking the curtains around her, and many of the attendants and soldiers were incomparable.

"Shut up, shut up. I know your resentment is like the swollen waters of the Nile, and I do owe you a personal favor and an explanation all these years, but you and I are children now, and there is no need to be so excited. Moreover, there is no interference between today's events and these topics that can only be carried out in private. Li Bida was also annoyed. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the resolute eyes of Cleopatra were staring at the ornament around his neck, and he was shocked, so he jumped up directly from the circle chair, like an agile leopard, grabbed the clothes on Cleopatra's chest, and then pulled it hard, "Don't be messy and can't think about it!" ”。

The sound of the cracked silk was heard, and all the soldiers, attendants, and clerks heard it, and many saw it—the high priest had rudely torn open the female pharaoh's breasts, and the spring light was rippling in front of him, and even Caesarion stood in front of the curtain, watching in amazement.

After a few minutes, "You're so rude!" The hair-dressing maid Chamion screamed, breaking the deathly silence around her, waving her nails and lunging at Li Bida, only to be knocked to the ground by a punch from the other party, "What is this?" It's a murderous weapon made by the teeth of the most venomous serpent in the swamps on both sides of the Nile, isn't it? Li Bida scolded loudly, holding the necklace and pendant in his hands, and then he threw it on the ground, and all the liquid in it spilled on the ground, and a Spanish dog in the tent came over and licked it a few times.

"Poor fellow, even the cooks in the camp have kept your corpse away today." The high priest spoke very heavily to the dog.

But the beast threw himself up, looked at the people around him with wide eyes, then snorted a few funny times, then cocked his hind legs, and at the doorpost of the high priest's tent, then wagged his tail, turned back and stuck his tongue at the high priest twice, and went out again without heart.

This time it was Li Bida's turn to have a big head, and all the eyes of all the people shifted to him after sending the dog, and Cleopatra was cloudy, and covered her breasts with her hands in a panic and shame, and then picked up Chamiang, who was bleeding from the corners of her mouth, and said to the recorded document in a choked voice, "I think you should faithfully record the current scene with a wonderful pen, and record the unspeakable sin that happened in this immortal temple, the high priest of the Roman Republic committed against a weak woman, and he actually violated and insulted the carcass of the goddess Isis!" ”

"So there's not Venom in here?" Li Bida hurriedly defended.

"High Priest—this is clearly an ordinary perfume—don't digress, but I hope you will give a satisfactory explanation for this indecent act." Cleopatra sounded like a silver bell, but she did not give up, so she clutched her chest and chased after the high priest who was circling around.

Li Bida could only cover his face with his sleeves, coughed a few times, sat down hurriedly and wolfly, waved his hand, and asked all those documents to get out, and there was no longer the original spirit and arrogance just now, "Please ask the incarnation and agent of the holy goddess Isis in the world to go to the inner temple of the temple to change clothes, and then we will have an open and honest meeting." ”

At this moment, Cleopatra suddenly became bright, and she gently curled the corners of her mouth, raised her black wig, revealing the small tear mole on her cheeks, and said cheerfully and quickly to the high priest, "Thank you, I have finally taken revenge." Then he walked out on his toes.

When Cleopatra re-entered the table, the embarrassing and unpleasant drapes had been removed, and the high priest sat down honestly in his chair, making a real "open and honest" appearance.

"I need the independence of Egypt, at least a notch higher than the other vassal states of the Republic, financial and military independence." Cleopatra openly asked for re-make-up by Charmion and the rest of the beautician's maids in front of the high priest.

"Independence is possible, but it must be under the protection of the Roman army - the three legions of Lufio, I must withdraw, or sooner or later I will be assimilated by your people, and become rebels, following in the footsteps of the army of Gabinus. At that time, there will be troops stationed in the fortress of Perusim, and troops will be stationed on the borders of Libya and Egypt, all for the sake of Caesarion's consideration. The High Priest smiled but did not smile.

"Withdraw? It is nothing more than that you want to annex all the armed forces left by Caesar for the conquest of the remnants of the republican forces; Comprehensive? Caesarion's storage zài probably makes it difficult for you to sleep. Cleopatra also sneered and-for-tat. (To be continued......)
