In this place, it is not easy to meet a man who is pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Man is good, it is foreseeable that he will be a very handsome Peugeot figure in the future, but it is the future not the present, and what is the use of him being handsome? I'm his sister, and now I'm showing signs of moving toward the goal of being an eldest sister like a mother.
Other? There's nothing more to say.
Therefore, the only exception is the priest Lord Immorton. I can't find anything wrong with it horizontally and vertically, it's very agreeable inside and out, so if I don't look for him for entertainment, who else can I find?
The sword is still learning day by day, and at the same time, he also learns some calculations, astronomy, medicine, poetry, and even agriculture and the like, and he is really an all-rounder. With an all-rounder, if I'm too clumsy, it really can't be justified. But until now, everyone thinks that Princess Isis is really smart and knowledgeable, and there are many things that can be done without learning herself.
That's a good sign.
Immorton was gentle and kind to me, without losing measure. Although I am a beautiful princess, it is a pity that I am still a little younger physically. And he, as for him, is a clergyman, and he can't fall in love and get married.
It means that even if we look at the right eye now, we can only engage in platonic spiritual love, or - cough, cheating.
You can't think about it now, because you can't reach the age, and it's in vain to think about it.
The waters of the Nile flow day and night, nurturing life and hope in Egypt.
In the blink of an eye, it's the season of the Nile flooding again. The Egyptians looked at the heavens for food, and when the river rose high, it would become a disaster, and if the river rose low, it would also become a disaster. And the rice seeds I was looking for have no news so far, I don't know if I can't find them, or if I found them and didn't have time to transport them back.
I sat in front of the mirror, and Yali dutifully put on my makeup, and the green eyeliner was very long, with a delicate and feminine look, which made me look about three years older than my actual age. I still love white linen dresses and wear the lightest, simplest beaded collar. As for the boxes and boxes of jewelry – I had no intention of turning myself into an event jewelry showcase, nor did I want to let the weight crush me.
The joy at the beginning gradually faded, and the novelty at the beginning slowly faded. I began to seriously reflect on what kind of past I had.
But I can't remember.
Everything else is common-sense, you can remember. I just have to think about what my surname is, what my name is, where I came from, what kind of person I used to be, what friends and relatives I have, all of which I don't remember.
It was like a dream, and when I woke up and recalled, I only had a vague impression of scales and half claws.
It seems that in my past, there was no role of mother?
Or is it because the current Elsis has this regret that I have such an illusion?
"Princess," Ally handed me the sword.
I don't have any new sense of walking now, sometimes I sit, sometimes I walk on my own, anyway, the terrain of the palace is basically clear, and I won't get lost and make jokes. Besides, even if I get lost, who would dare to laugh at me?
The last time I chose a female partner, many "famous ladies" made me go back with a disgraced face, but in the end, since the prime minister's only daughter was selected, there is nothing to say about the inferior status. But Ansuna ......
I was distracted as I flicked the hilt of my sword.
Ansuna's matter, let's talk about it slowly.
After practicing the sword for a while, I wiped the sweat on my head, and Yali hurriedly came over with a handkerchief to wipe it for me: "Princess, be careful, don't wipe your makeup." ”
I smiled, and when I turned my head, I saw that in front of me, in addition to Ary, a few maids and guards, and two young monks standing in the distance, Immorton was gone.
"Huh, what about others?"
"The priest has gone to preside over the river sacrifice." Yali smiled and said, "Isn't the princess going to take a look?" ”
I wondered, "That's outside the palace, right?" ”
"It's a temple by the river, and if Pharaoh hadn't had something important to do today, I'm afraid he would have to go to see it."
Yali is usually very steady, but now she is so excited, which shows that this water festival is really extraordinary.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
"Yes," said Arie, pleased, "I'll tell someone to prepare ......."
"Don't prepare." I pulled her by the hand: "Find two sets of cloaks with headscarves, and let's just go." ”
"How do you ...... that?"
"It doesn't matter," I said, "just get a few guards to change into civilian clothes and follow us." If you carry it with a large group of people, you can't see any excitement. ”
Although Yali carried out my orders, she was still uneasy, and after leaving the palace, she began to look left and right.
"Yali, don't worry," I pulled my headscarf tightly and covered my face, "Let's go back and see, besides, there are people following us." ”
"Yes, Male...... Miss, let's go and get back quickly, but don't make any mistakes. ”
This river festival is probably an important day for all of Egypt, there may not be so many people in the city in normal times, but now it is crowded, and it is impossible to go faster. Yali was impatient: "If they had come out generously, they would have been out of the way a long time ago." ”
I didn't speak, but walked a little further, and she said, "When you get to the temple by the river, the river festival should be over." ”
"No, there are still so many people in the past, which means that the time has not yet come. Otherwise, everyone won't have to go. ”
The streets were bustling with shops selling spices, ivory, hides, jewelry, wood carvings, pottery, and silk fabrics brought from the south...... I watched everything with relish, but I didn't care that the speed of progress was as slow as a turtle.
When we arrived at the place, there were too many people to enter the temple, but fortunately the sacrifice was held on a high platform in front of the temple, and we could see it by standing on tiptoe with our heads up.
Yali said, "Oops, here we go." ”
I looked at the high platform in the distance with wide eyes, and first two rows of monks came up and stood on both sides of the high platform, burning incense and kneeling. Then another person slowly stepped onto the stage, step by step.
Immorton.
He wore a white robe with a wide collar and wide sleeves, which he had never seen wearing. The wind from the river blew in, and the people standing on high places were dressed as if they were going to ride the wind.
The cheers of the gathered people around them were thunderous.
I covered my ears with one hand, but I still looked forward with my feet in mind.
What a glorious and revered position it is.
It occurred to me that Pharaoh had something important to do not come to the river festival. If he comes, where will he be?
I think I came in casual clothes without intention, but now it seems that it was a wise move.
It is true that the imperial power and the divine power in ancient Egypt were closely linked, and Immorton also lived in the temple in the palace.
But......
Could he be too prestigious, too popular?
The river festival has begun, but I'm a little distracted. The priest has outstanding demeanor and extraordinary manners, and the people in the square under the stage knelt on the ground one after another, Yali knelt, but I didn't want to kneel, so I squatted down directly, and no one else would pay attention anyway.
On the stage, the prayers were chanted for a while, and then the incense was burned, and then Immorton led the monks to complete the ritual step by step.
This person...... This person......
Why do the things I think about these days always have to do with him?
