"Princess."

I looked up unexpectedly: "What's the matter?" ”

When I'm practicing my words or doing something to concentrate on, Arlie never bothers me.

"Pharaoh is coming."

Yes? I put down my pen unexpectedly, stood up, and straightened my clothes. Man sat next to me, fiddling with a little worm I had made for him out of reeds. To be honest, I wasn't very good at my craft, but Memphis was so happy that he ignored his new sword and tended to fiddle with it.

It's not too soon, it's not too late, daddy, what is he going to do?

In all fairness, this is a good father, although he is also quite busy, and the old man is old, and this job is not easy. At this time, the division of labor among officials was not so clear, and power was relatively centralized, and the prime minister had to make decisions on everything, and the military, government, civilian, economic, and agricultural ...... If I were tired, he would have been lying on his stomach.

I slowly walked out of the inner sanctum, taking Xiao Man's hand, and the pharaoh had already entered, sitting on the chair in the middle, and Ansuna leaning against him, sitting next to him, sitting on a brocade cushion. I was stunned for a moment, so if I salute Pharaoh, doesn't it mean that I salute her together?

I don't reject villains, if you want to play majestic, even if you play well, but this kind of person who doesn't know how to read people's eyes will be annoying. Who do you think you are? Princess? When you see me coming in, you have to stand up, even if you don't salute.

Before I could say anything, Xiao Man had already frowned, pointed at her with one hand and said, "You stand up!" ”

Pharaoh's face stiffened a little, and he patted Ansuna's hand: "Well, you should get up first." ”

She stood up a little stiffly, and then as if she remembered what she should be doing, she bowed to me and Xiao Man.

It's just that her usual figure is so enchanting and smart, and when she makes these two salutes, she is as stiff as a wood, and she has no charm at all.

Xiao Man was still not satisfied, and said, "Don't rub so much sesame oil on your body next time, it tastes good." ”

The pharaoh smiled and relieved Ansuna: "Okay, I'll come here once." What do you two do? ”

"We practiced calligraphy for a while."

"Hehe, good boy."

Pharaoh asked us about our food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and what we were doing these days, and praised me for the delicious and chewy rice I gave that day, even if it was not mixed with vegetables, it had a sweet meaning, and it was a good thing. I said, "If my father likes to eat it, I have some rice here, so let them send it to you and eat it slowly." The new rice will not be planted until the next season, and it will be eaten every day. ”

"I eat it every day, but I don't need it, and I still like bread very much." He said, "By the way, didn't you learn swords from Immorton before?" ”

I'm a little wary, why don't you mention this sooner or later? Everyone else has been driven away, isn't this the end of the matter?

"Yes, I used to learn it when I had time, but everyone said that I didn't need to learn it at all, and the swordsmanship was also very powerful."

Pharaoh laughed, "Yes, my Isis is God's favorite, what can't be." He paused: "But Ansuna mentioned it to me a few days ago, saying that she also learned swordsmanship and wanted to ...... with people."

Stop!

I was stunned, and Xiao Man said first: "What is her identity, if she wants to find someone to play, she should go to the slave girls and those women in the harem." I've heard that Father, there are not one or two people in your harem who know how to do swordsmanship......"

What a little man, the woman in the harem of my father, what are you worried about?

Pharaoh also thinks that what his son said is right, but he is a person, I think his ears are quite soft, habitual children are one thing, spoiling women is also one thing, the combination of the two aspects, he is really a little lacking in courage. But this is at home, outside, he leads his troops to fight, kills old enemies and decides government affairs, and there is nothing that is indecisive.

Judging from modern standards, he is a standard new good man, who goes out to stand up to the sky and goes home to be angry.

But the problem is that the woman you love is not the mother of our sister and brother, and if she wants to be powerful and rich, she has to share it from others. Is it that those women in the harem have too little, and she can't look down on them and want to snatch them from us?

Although I am not so enthusiastic about power, Xiao Man is different, he has a natural sensitivity to the word politics, and he has an instinctive suspicion and vigilance of everyone in this palace except me and Pharaoh. Yali spoke to me privately. This kid has grown up since he was a child, and the assassinations he encountered are not only monthly, but also seen every year, and it is really difficult for him, from a little bit to such a big grow, it is really not easy to avoid the open guns and dark arrows that have survived so many times.

"Oh, you child...... Pharaoh couldn't help it, and came to me again: "Assis, didn't Ansuna also be by your side before." And besides, you don't have much to teach now......"

"Father, this time, that time." I looked at him with a smile. Ansuna, this woman is obviously not right with me, why is she still pestering my father to force him to come to me: "You just said that I am the darling of the gods, and I still need someone to teach me?" ......"I look at Ansuna, and she's looking at me too."

"Even if I want someone to teach me, I will choose my own people, and I won't have to worry about my father and irrelevant people."

After more than half a sentence of speculation, Pharaoh and Ansuna had no choice but to leave, and Xiao Man raised his voice and said, "Yali! Yali! Hurry up and take the grass to lavender, the smell is dead! ”

As soon as they left, I was in a better mood: "Okay you, I wipe everything every day, and I haven't seen you." ”

"That's different!"

Yali hurriedly agreed, and really found a bunch of herbs to scent, it seems that she is also holding her breath.

What exactly did Ansuna have in mind? It would be unwise for her to compete for favor only for the harem.

"Xiao Man." I'm used to shouting, and he's used to hearing it: "You tell Sinuye and his men to find out Ansuna's origins, and check carefully." I always felt that she was a strange person, and she couldn't explain a lot of things. I only knew that her tribe was gone, and if she wanted revenge, she should have done it a long time ago. Since she didn't do it and became her father's harem, she should be content with wealth and nobility, but she has no place to settle down from head to toe. If she's trying to do anything......"

Xiao Man grinned, and threw his arms around my neck: "I asked Sinuye to check a few days ago, she is quite annoying, doing that kind of thing under my sister's nose, in order to save face for my father, we can't do anything to her." Hmph, don't look at her now, wait until ......"

I smiled.

Wait until the father meets the next beauty, or ...... When her father could no longer shelter her, Xiao Man let her sit and die, and she couldn't lie on her stomach.

Power is like poison, and it is difficult to extricate oneself.

I'm used to it and enjoy being a princess.

I looked out the window, and the sun was about to go down again.

Little Manlala pulled my shawl: "Sister, what do you want?" ”

I turned around and smiled at him and didn't say anything.

In fact, some things are boring when you think them through. For example, Immorton was moved, and Xiao Man must have known about it in advance.

But......

Therefore, some things should be thought about carefully, and some things should be passed by.

Everything is careful, and life is too much and too tiring.
