The fine porcelain cup is painted with lotus flowers on the Nile River in full bloom, and the fine pattern of water ripples is delicate and beautiful. Drinking from such a cup is a pleasure in itself.
The glass is filled with wine, which is red and clear in color, elegant and bright.
I hummed vaguely in my throat, and if anyone here could understand what language I was in, I would be able to hear me humming, wine and coffee, I only need one glass, remembering yesterday, and drank a second glass.
But no one here could understand what I was humming, not including Memphis who had gone around the future and came back.
I don't think Memphis will be in the mood to ponder a Chinese love song after 3,000 years, and he does very useful things. Even if he didn't have these two years of experience, he was already a very outstanding pharaoh, let alone now.
Well, maybe he also studied the thirty-six strategies and something, I really want to tell him directly, Memphis, your sister and I are actually ancient skins wrapped in modern cores, I was born and raised in that era, well, no, I am a person from the twenty-first century, and Carol is only a person from the eighties of the twentieth century...... At that time, computers, mobile phones, and the Internet were not widely used, and if Memphis had learned the knowledge in that era, it would have been even more backward than me.
But I didn't dare take the risk.
Who knows what will happen after those words are said? Memphis knows how he's going to react after he knows I'm not his real sister?
The dancers writhed in front of the hall and danced a dance called "manina", which was actually similar to a belly dance, with a slim waist, olive oil and spices on the skin, and a gold ring and a deep ruby pendant on the navel.
In fact, the morality of the ancients is still very simple, and the body is beautiful, especially these dancers. The young body is so beautiful that it is not a shame to be admired.
"Isis."
I turned my head, and Immorton stood behind the curtain and waved at me.
I raised my hand, and the female officer clapped her hands knowingly, and the dancer and musician stopped at the same time, and I stood up and walked behind the curtain.
"How?"
Immorton doesn't usually come to me at such times, but he is now another right-hand man for Memphis, busier than me, and even faintly trying to catch up with the previous Idhombu.
"What you told me about that day has already been settled."
"Really?"
"Hmm," the sweat on his face that hadn't been wiped off was slowly dripping down his face. Immorton looked thinner than before, his face was deep and sharp, and he looked more mature and sexy: "Follow me." β
I took him by the hand and walked out of the side door of this side hall. Now Memphis is a huge harem, and I am the only one who lives in it, and my identity is still a little ambiguous. My reputation is probably not very good, after all, I am the princess of Memphis, and I am also the queen, and I don't know how many handsome and powerful women who love the pharaoh Memphis are cursing me, taking advantage of the favor of the pharaoh, dominating the harem, and having an inexplicable relationship with the original high priest and the current high priest Immorton.
In the corridor outside the side hall were several people kneeling, one of whom was a woman, holding a baby in her arms, who looked thin and only seven or eight months old, wrapped in a linen towel, and was sleeping deeply. There was awe and fear on their faces, and they knelt there and did not dare to move, let alone make a sound.
I'll look at Immorton.
He said: "Sinouyeh's wife disappeared in the midst of the turmoil, and when my men found her, she had died in childbirth, leaving only this child in the care of a family who was always with the child, and I brought them back with me, you see...... What to do. β
The woman knelt there, her posture humble and respectful, but her trembling fingers betrayed her thoughts and emotions.
"Don't be afraid, if I want to get rid of you all, I don't have to send someone to bring you all back to the palace." I looked at the child, and he was so thin that he didn't see much resemblance to Sinuye.
"How old is he?"
"One year old and two months old......"
"Huh?" To my surprise, this child looked so thin and small, he didn't look like he was more than a year old.
"Because, the child was born prematurely, and it was not easy to survive, Mrs. used to ...... Ah, no, it was the little wealth left by the sinner, which was almost all spent on him, and he was still weak and sickly, and he did not eat much......"
I nodded and beckoned, and Alan walked over briskly and silently picked up the child.
"Your place has been arranged, remember one thing, you never knew there was a child, you didn't remember it at all, if anyone dares to divulge it......"
"Your Majesty Isis, we will definitely keep our mouths shut, we will definitely not leak it, no, we have never seen this child, we have never known about it!"
Several men vied to show their loyalty and interest, and I glanced at Immorton, who bowed slightly, and several guards came over and led them down.
"Do you want to keep this child in the palace?"
I shook my head: "I don't know how to raise a child, besides, I dare to keep him by my side, I don't have to wait for the sunset tomorrow, and the Eight Achievements of Upper and Lower Egypt will say that I have raised an illegitimate child or something." Raise him and put him in the temple, I only hope to ...... This child doesn't need to know his life experience, so that his wife can live this life peacefully. β
"Don't you hate his father at all?"
I sat slowly on the stone railing of the corridor, the sun was about to set, and half of the sky in the west seemed to be on fire, red, giving people a sense of desolation and loss.
"It's impossible to say you don't hate. If it weren't for him, Tasha wouldn't have died, and neither would Unas...... Death at his hands. I paused for a moment and whispered, "But to me, he has repeatedly shown mercy to his subordinates, otherwise...... I wouldn't have survived to this point. β
"I hate him, but these days, I keep thinking of the old days, when ...... At that time, everything was still very simple, and my father was still alive to shelter us from the wind and rain. Sinuye was dedicated to protecting Memphis, and on several occasions the Assassins attacked, but it was thanks to him that Memphis was able to save his life. In the later wars with foreigners and other countries, he also made great contributions. Yes, his coup d'Γ©tat has only now restored Egypt, and he is indeed a sinner. But he also had merit before, this cannot be denied. β
I turned my head to look at the sleeping child: "His entire family, who did not die in the coup, is now slaughtered...... This kid is the last person in a military family that has been prominent for nearly a hundred years, so ...... I want him to live, safe...... After his life. β
"Okay," Immorton put his hand on the back of my hand, "I'll have someone take good care of him, and he'll never know where he came from." β
I watched as the two old monks took the child away and returned to the side hall with Immorton. The musician's tambourine and strings began again, and the pause continued, and the dancer remained in her same position, and as soon as the music played, she continued to dance, and I sat down in my place, with Immorton standing in a chair beside me.
All...... It's like it's never been interrupted, it's not changed.
Merely...... When I saw that kid just now, it reminded me of another thing.
Imorton and I can't have children.
He seemed to notice a change in my mood and turned his head with an inquiring and concerned gaze.
I smiled at him, and he was stunned, but he also smiled.
His eyes were dark and he had a shallow swirl on his lips, and he smiled so beautifully......
People are always like this, a mountain still looks at a mountain high, and it has to look back at Shu.
During the time I lost him, I also thought that if I could get him back, I would be willing to pay any price.
Now that he's back, and we're in love with each other like this, and we're able to stay together, what's not to worry about?
I should be content.
