This turmoil and thunder and rain came to an end, and Ansuna remained with Pharaoh, but I don't think the elder has taken her wherever he has taken her as before, and what I said is really a bit vicious, but since she has done it herself, don't be afraid of me. Princess Yili made trouble for a few days, but the medical officers all said that she was not poisoned and did not get sick, and as for why she had a big pimple like a toad, no one could solve it. So her visit was also huge, and when she left, she died down and ran away. Those merchants who came to Egypt because of her, regardless of whether they were true or false, were detained, and they were brainwashed by interrogation every day. Of course it is. Not to mention, Nubia's hand-woven carpets and dyed cloth are quite good, Xiao Man gave me a batch, and I gave them all to Yali, and she disposed of them.

The days seemed to pass peacefully, as before, nothing had changed.

Only Xiaoman is more handsome and stable, he has grown from a child to a teenager, but that momentum is majestic, even adults can't match him. Although the poisoning incident of the pharaoh was finally over, Xiao Man's authority and toughness were already impressive, and many officials and courtiers slowly expressed their affection and allegiance to Xiao Man after that.

I have a good relationship with the Prime Minister, because Holdia plays a big part in it. What's more, Idhombu and Pharaoh seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and as he himself told me, Xiao Man is very courageous, but not patient. The internal affairs work is complicated and trivial, and with Xiao Man's temper, he is afraid that he will not be able to do this job if he is ten times more mature. He's good at making decisions, and he's very ambitious, but not very good at this kind of work.

Maybe Pharaoh and Idhombu's idea was to let me hold up half the sky for Little Man, right?

I put down the roll of straw paper in my hand, looked up, moved my shoulders, stood up and walked to the window to look out. I don't know why, but I especially like the sunset, which always makes me feel a sense of infinite nostalgia.

The Nile flows slowly, reflecting a little golden light on the surface of the river.

Time is like a river, surging until it flows into the sea, never to return, and so elusive.

"Princess," Hordia gathered her things, "if nothing else, I'll go back first." ”

I turned my head and pointed to the scroll of paper on the table: "I remember that the people of the East would use such a waterwheel to turn the water, probably the pattern should be like this, you take it back to your father and show it, let him find a craftsman to try it, if it can be successful, then this year even if the Nile does not rise enough, don't worry too much." ”

"Yes, princess, I'll go back and tell my father that I'll bring him back tomorrow."

I nodded. Hordia said, "What a delicious snack today, Ally, is there anything else you can do?" I'll take it back and give it to my little nephew to taste. ”

"Ah, and I'll let you get it." Ari smiled and agreed, and turned to go out, and Hordia quickly took a stack of paper rolls from her embroidered purse and stuffed them into me.

"What is this?"

Holdia's eyes narrowed when she smiled, just like the naughty and clever cat I raised: "Is it someone else who entrusted me with a letter to the princess......"

"Letter?" I flipped through: "So many? ”

"Ah, of course, the princess doesn't have to read it all, and she doesn't have to reply, it all depends on your mood." She smiled and ran away: "I'll go back now, and I'll come back tomorrow." ”

I saw her go, flipped the scroll of paper in my hand twice, glanced at it, and felt that it was ridiculous.

It turned out to be ...... Love letters.

I set the rolls aside, and the maid turned up the lamps one by one, and set up the gold plates. The polished gold plates were like mirrors, reflecting the candlelight in a soft golden light all over the room, and the gauze curtains were lowered, and they wore new clothes made of Nubian colored cloth, and their demeanor was soft and graceful, and they came and went silently, like people in a dream.

Yali came over and asked, "Princess, is it served dinner...... What are they? ”

"Hordia gave it to me, huh." I put them in a small drawer: "Ignore it. ”

"By the way, Princess...... This morning's events ......," Arlie said again.

"Huh?" I looked at her, "What's wrong?" Say yes. ”

"What the prince of Monrima said to the princess......"

"Ah, that," I nodded, "I forgot if you didn't say it, he spoke Egyptian...... It's hard to understand. ”

"Princess," Ally said, glancing at me, "that's not what I'm talking about. ”

"Hehe, I know." Isn't it just that person who recklessly proposed to me, he stammered and couldn't get his words right, he only made it clear that he liked me and was willing to marry me, and later he couldn't say it clearly, it was the translator who said it for him, which means that if I don't want to marry far away, he can get rich.

At that time, Pharaoh's face was really crying and laughing, and the prime minister was very well-cultivated, so if he didn't hear it, Xiao Man's face turned black on the spot, and if it wasn't for the people next to him to stop him, he would have pulled out his fist and beat people.

"Princess, what do you think in your heart?" Yali said, "You...... How do you plan for the future? ”

Because the appearance of the prince of Monrima was so funny, I fell on the table and laughed for a long time, my stomach hurt a little, and when I was tired of laughing, I straightened up and said, "Yali, there is a sentence you probably haven't heard. It's called, plans can't keep up with changes, you know? ”

"Huh?"

I patiently explained: "It doesn't matter what you plan to do tonight, but you will never expect what you will encounter tomorrow." For example, I want to go boating on the river tomorrow, but if there is a big sandstorm tomorrow morning, then my plan will be frustrated. ”

"But Princess......

"Ally, I think it's good to be alone." I said, "Really." What do you think is wrong? ”

Arye lowered her head and didn't say anything more, and I said, "Aren't you going to have dinner?" ”

"Yes."

Because of the abundant rice harvest, I can now eat rice every day, which is a happy thing.

Ally was sorting through small sheets of paper and clay boards. Now she is really a multi-tasker, the main job is the head of the house, the deputy is my government assistant, sometimes also a scribe, and is also in charge of intelligence work and many other things that I can't let outsiders do and I can't do myself.

"Princess."

"Huh?"

Yali picked up a small scroll of paper: "In Nubia, the price of farm tools has increased recently." ”

"Really?"

"Well, a lot of horses have been levied." Yali continued: "Princess Nubia's strange illness has recovered without medicine, and she has regained her beauty, and yesterday she went out of the palace to attend a banquet at a nobleman's house. ”

"Oh, that's good news," I said, "I wonder if this princess has any plans to visit Egypt again?" If she had, I would have welcomed her with her a boatload of merchants. ”

Yali smiled: "Yes, this princess seems to say that the last trip to Egypt was not very pleasant, so she wants to come again." Probably this year's harvest festival, the messenger from Nubia is our old acquaintance, Princess Ayili. ”

"Well, there is a saying that is right, life is endless, and the thief's heart does not die......"

Yali couldn't help but smile at me.

"Okay, prepare well, if she really comes, you must make Princess Ayili comfortable and happy, and feel at home."
