A: Yili was far more calm than I had imagined, perhaps because of the experience of her last two visits to Egypt, which had increased her knowledge, or perhaps it was because of her ......

People grow, whenever, wherever, and how.

So after the wedding of the pharaoh, when Xiao Man came to me less and less in the past few months, and there were gradually uneasy voices in the palace, saying that the prince and the princess were very close, I just slowly drew a mark on the ditch line map of the farmland.

Holdia came over and looked, "Princess, have you calculated?" ”

"Nope." I handed her the piece of straw paper: "You can check it again, I think it might be a bit wrong." ”

"Nope." She did a quick mental arithmetic, the Egyptians were very good at calculating, and Hordiyah was also very good at mental arithmetic. I remember that I went to the temple of Amun outside the city, and every New Year's Day, at nine o'clock in the morning, the first rays of the sun would shine through the gaps in the layers of stone slabs and shine on the statues and the niches in front of them, and every year, only on that day, at that moment, the sun could shine in that place, without the slightest error.

That's an amazing calculation.

But when I asked, they said that the monk who designed the temple had died very young, leaving no book and no disciple to inherit his algorithm.

I was disappointed, but I was still amazed by the algorithms, the most precise measuring tools possible, the temples and pyramids that were built were still so magnificent, the temple of Anubis that I went to the day before yesterday, the high and narrow corridors, the width of which only one person could enter and exit, the walls were cut straight and neat, and the floor was polished as smooth as a mirror. On the ceiling and on both sides of the stone walls, Anubis leads the deceased into the afterlife.

I was a little distracted, and Holdia whispered, "Is the princess tired?" Would you like to take a break? ”

I put down my pen: "It's fine." ”

She took my strand and put it on for me, and then went out for a walk with me.

I looked up at the clear blue sky, and there wasn't even a single cloud in the sky.

"Princess......" she stopped talking, and I asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Prince, you...... Do you really not mind? ”

I said, "Hordia, others don't understand, don't you understand either?" ”

She looked at me with wide eyes: "What? ”

"Xiao Man and I are the two closest people in the world, not only because of our blood, but also because of our interests. And one of the most important ......"

It's feelings.

Xiao Man's feelings for me are like being for her lover, for her sister, and more often, like she is looking for a kind of warm attachment to her mother. I can absolutely believe that even if it is a matter of life and death today, we will not betray each other.

"I feel very relieved and heartbroken that he can suppress his personality and do what I was supposed to do."

Hordia showed a look that gradually understood: "He...... He's ......"

"yes," I nodded, "This kid, really...... Although I had been hoping that he would mature soon, I felt very uncomfortable when this time came. ”

She suddenly realized: "So that's it! No wonder you've been preoccupied these days, we all thought you were in a bad mood because ......"

"It's because of it, but it's not the same as you think. I don't believe those rumors, I also know why Xiao Man did this, I am depressed because I don't want him to suppress himself like this, but he does ......" I shook my head: "Forget it, don't talk about it, we ......"

Suddenly, Hordia grabbed me and dodged behind the flowers on the side of the road. When the flowers are in full bloom, they are densely packed, more than enough to cover the two of us.

I didn't ask her why she was hiding, for I saw that Ayili was walking this way alone, her steps brisk, her face covered with honey-colored balm, and as she walked past us, she brought a strong scent of incense.

Hordia saw her walk over and whispered, "Coquettish elephant ......"

I didn't hear the next word, maybe she didn't really say it, it wouldn't be a good word anyway. I turned to leave, and Holdiar pulled me along: "Look what she's doing!" ”

"What's ......?"

"Go, go, go."

I was half-pulled by her, and I followed her half-openly and half-secretly in the garden. She went to a very quiet corner of the garden, where there was a room that had been a small temple before, but it had been empty for a long time, and the flowers around it were particularly gorgeous, and there was a man lying on the railing outside the small temple, with a lazy and fit posture like a little leopard resting.

Memphis!

We didn't come closer, we just watched from afar. Answering Yili quietly stepped forward and bent down to kiss Memphis on the lips.

Of course, a sensible warrior like Memphis would not fail to notice her movements, but he didn't mean to dodge, and stretched out a hand to wrap around Ari's plump and mature body, as if he was enjoying the sudden arrival of the afternoon.

I'm a little embarrassed, knowing this kind of thing is knowing, but seeing it is another thing. I turned my head, only to be startled by Hordia's face, her face was pale, and there seemed to be a green vein under her eyes that was throbbing slightly. I hurriedly pulled her, but she didn't move. I pulled it again, and she slowly moved a step and followed me away.

I felt depressed, not only because of what I had just seen, but also because of the look on Holdia's face.

I didn't say a word on the way back, and she didn't say a word.

When I arrived at the door of my dormitory, she bowed to me stiffly and whispered, "I'm sorry, princess......"

I didn't speak, just turned around.

I'm a little stuffy.

It's just a little stuffy.

Actually, I was not wrong at the beginning. Most of the female companions I chose were either women who wanted to be pharaohs or women who wanted to be future pharaohs.

Ansuna is the former. But I didn't expect Holdia to be the latter. She's really successful in disguise!

I was about to walk, but my feet were caught.

Hordia knelt there and whispered, "Princess, I didn't mean to deceive you. I didn't think at first that I would fall in love with Prince Memphis......"
