I nodded, and Hordia didn't say anything more, but after a while, she whispered, "It's so nice...... This is what the high priest used to look like when he played the harp. ”

"What's the matter," said Arlie, "Miss Hordya, has she become fond of the High Priest?" ”

"Ah, how could it be." She said: "Even if there is, it is just a water moon mirror flower, it is useless, the high priest He is a person from the temple, how can there be male and female love?" That's blasphemous. ”

"Yes," said Lee, "Miss is such an understanding person. ”

The two of them spoke in a loud voice, and it was very clear.

I leaned back in my chair and didn't make a sound.

I could hear that they were speaking to me.

There have been rumors in the palace, it's not that I don't know.

To say that I'm very close to Immorton and I'm not shy about being a human being, I admire him very much, and he is completely different to me than he is to others. He is not so gentle, not so patient and thoughtful, not so ......

I remember when he taught me how to practice swords, when he taught me to play musical instruments, when he taught me how to pray and pray, and when he taught me a lot of political and military things...... For a princess, he, as a priest, does not need to be so thoughtful and meticulous at all, and caters everywhere.

However, if ......

If it is said to be a lover, then his performance is still lacking.

Missing a little......

I felt like he and I were standing at opposite ends of a curtain and could see each other, but we couldn't get through the barrier.

Or to put it more figuratively, we didn't uncover this layer of window paper.

He has his scruples.

He is a priest, and he cannot have love between men and women.

I'm a princess, and ...... She is the daughter of Pharaoh's favorite, and in the future, if Pharaoh is not there, then Xiao Man and I will each have half of the inheritance.

This...... It's also an obstacle. What stands between us is the two barriers of theocracy and kingship. Even if he showed his heart to me, we can only be a pair of underground lovers, to put it mildly, it is fornication.

He is such a glorious and gentle and noble person, how can these two words be placed on him? Just thinking about it already makes me feel like an insult to him.

Maybe...... Perhaps, that's all there is to it.

I am reluctant to go far, and I can't get closer.

He and I, the priest and the princess, were friends who could talk, and reluctantly, we could be regarded as confidants and friends with common opinions.

It's a little melancholy when you think about it.

Oh, it's sad, it's ridiculous.

It's only a teenager, just a girl, and she already feels sad, so how will she spend her long life in the future?

I've been a princess for two years, and when people mention me, they still say, "This princess is naturally smart and kind, and she is God's favorite", and nothing else. Nor did anyone think that I was not the same as Essy before, and that I could see through that I was a fake.

Of course, this makes me feel at ease, but at the same time, it is a little regrettable.

What about myself? Who am I, what is my original personality, what are my original characteristics?

I felt like I was gone, and I became Isis.

But I'm not Issy.

When I dream back in the middle of the night, I feel very dazed, I don't know who I am, and that feeling makes me want to cry so much.

But crying doesn't solve my problem.

Life still has to go on day by day. As for me and Immorton......

I smiled wryly, and that's probably all I could be.

The golden red sunset is sprinkled all over the body, and Yali helps me apply sunscreen oil, which seems to make people feel like they are in a hundred flowers.

Hordia has gone home, Ansuna......

By the way, Ansuna changed her skirt and never came?

I turned around and called out to Yari, "Where's Ansuna?" Where did she go? ”

"Is there anything wrong with the princess? I'm going to call her. ”

"Forget it...... "I thought, maybe I was lazy in the afternoon, so I went to take a nap."

But it's rare to say that Ansuna is lazy.

After we got along together, I learned that she was quite good, she knew how to swordsmanship, and she could use a trident with both hands, and three or five idle male warriors couldn't get close to her, even if it was Sinuye, she was quite a tie. Once, at a palace feast, she and another woman, who seemed to be a female official of the temple named Mo Ya, came out to fight and perform to cheer up, which was really wonderful and soul-wrenching. Pharaoh was full of praise at the time, and I saw that if it weren't for the fact that she was someone close to me, maybe she would have been in Pharaoh's bed that night. But even so, my cheap dad may not have given up on the idea, unless Ansuna is a goddess official, she has to get married, right? Yali next to me has also been married, and she has not been single as I thought. It's just that her child died after birth, so she was transferred to take care of me, who was still young at the time, and I could be regarded as half a wet nurse. After knowing this, I had a little more respect for Yalie, who really regarded Isis as the only faith in her life, and treated me as both a daughter and a master, both loving and loyal......

Forget it, let's not mention that.

I rolled over lazily on the couch.

The thin quilt covered by the body is made of silk, and the real Chinese silk, which was shipped from the far east, can really be said to be one tael of gold and one tael of silk when it arrives in Egypt. Knowing that their caravan had gotten silk in Bhathara, that is, in ancient India, I was so excited that I didn't sleep that night! I even impulsively want to say to Hassan that you will not go to that mysterious and ancient country like Egypt on your next trip? Take me with you if you go, I'll do the caravan handyman.

But impulsiveness is impulse, and I still didn't say that after all.

What is the era of China now? Slave times. I don't know what dynasty it is, maybe it's Xia or Shang, right? Maybe sooner or later, I went there, what could I do?

I didn't even know what my name was, where my hometown was, and I felt like a stranger in Egypt. But when I go back to the East, am I still a stranger?

A large number of beautiful silks brought back by Hassan were presented to me, and the rest was frantically snatched up by the nobles and high-ranking officials.

I also asked Arie to take some yellow and arrow-colored robes and make a civilian robe for Immorton. I don't know how to make clothes, but I sew the lace-up buckles on them by hand.

Arrie must have understood my feelings, she was the closest person to me in this palace, and I would not hide anything from her—I told her everything except that I was not the original Isis, and she helped me and followed me.

Although she disapproved of Immorton's matter, she did not disagree with it either.

I lazily read the poem written on the papyrus for a while, and Yali put down the plate in her hand: "Princess, please use fruit." ”

"Well, leave it there."

She stood up and frowned a little dissatisfied: "Ansuna is also too lazy and stealing, why didn't she come back for so long, I'll take a look." ”

"Why do you have to go by yourself, the sun hasn't gone down yet, how hot it is on the ground, just call a little palace maid to go."

"She has a big face, how dare the little palace maid talk about her." Yali tucked her turban together, "I went to the princess." ”

"Okay, you don't have to worry, in fact, I don't lack manpower, she is here as if she is a guest, you can't take her seriously."

"I know, but there must be rules, otherwise it's not good for the people below to be lazy."

I drank half a glass of juice, and I ate more than usual at noon because I was happy to see the rice, and now I feel that I can't lift my spirits.

What is Immorton doing now? The sun is about to set, maybe pray before God?

I can trace his movements in my mind, every move, as vividly as if I had seen it with my own eyes.

His movements have always been so graceful and calm, just like the Nile River at night, deep, calm, undisturbed, with a flowing solemnity, silent elegance.

The silence and nobility, elegance and erudition of the priesthood were so perfectly blended in him.

He was a priest......

He was a priest......

I whispered, feeling that something in my body was being pulled and clenched, which made me feel so sour and helpless.

I covered my face with a fan and heard footsteps. It was Yali, and I knew her footsteps best.

However, it's not as calm as usual.

I removed the fan, and she was kneeling at my feet, it was hot, but her face was a little pale, and her lips were tightly pursed into a line.

"What's wrong, Yari?" I asked.

Could it be that Ansuna disobeyed and quarreled with her?

But who is Ary? Tasha beside her and Xiao Man is faintly the head of the female officials in the palace, and the two major factions, the prince faction and the princess faction, are the leaders of the two of them. Not to mention Ansuna, who has no money, no power and no support, even Nurna, the first favorite concubine in Pharaoh's harem, doesn't dare to fight Yali face to face!

"What's wrong?" She remained silent, and I asked again.

"Ansuna......" Yali only said three words, her voice hoarse.

What happened to Ansuna?

The first thing I thought was what happened to her? It is unlikely, Ansuna's skills can be said to be invincible in the harem, and no one can plot against her if there are assassins.

Ansuna on her bed...... There are men ......"

I was surprised: "What? What did you see with your own eyes? ”

Yali took a few deep breaths: "I didn't even get into the house, there was someone guarding the door, right...... Pharaoh's personal guards, also standing outside the courtyard, when I saw again, the curtains were all down, and what else did I not understand, besides, there was such a loud voice in the house...... Really, shamelessly! ”

I was stunned too. Let me say something.

Ansuna She ...... How could she ......

My Pharaoh's father, he's really not particular! ran to his daughter's palace to sleep with his daughter's company, and he didn't avoid people.

Yali said shamelessly and didn't nominate her surname, at first glance it sounded like she was talking about Ansuna, but after thinking about it carefully, she didn't mean that shameless old man!

"Did they see you?"

Yali whispered, still angry. Her loyalty was given to me alone, and Pharaoh did not hesitate: "Can you still see it?" One of them also told me that if there was something to do, let me wait until it was over. Me, I...... I'll be back! ”

I frowned too. This is the ...... What shall I say.

If Pharaoh wants to favor a woman, he must change places, and go back to his own palace.

Ansuna ...... Isn't she a woman who refuses to grow old? If Pharaoh had come to her and she would not have spoken, she would have come to me, and of course I would have taken her lead and let the old man go away, and forgive him in the presence of his most beloved daughter, and not in disregard of my own face.

But Ansuna didn't come......

She's willing, isn't she?

I shook my head, "Forget it, Yali, don't take this matter to heart. However, when Pharaoh is gone, you can arrange for Ansuna to move the women's dwellings, and tell Tasha to find her a good palace to live in, and that the treatment should be better, and give her a high standard. I'm not going to keep her here......"

"It's the princess." Arlie's head was buried deep: "Your forgiveness is as great as the waters of the Nile. ”

"Okay, I'm also taking care of everyone's face, they don't care, I have to take care of it......" I sighed.

Yali said very understandingly: "Don't think about it, princess, I told the kitchen at night, and boiled that according to the princess's method, yes, boiled porridge, and side dishes, all of which are refreshing and delicious." ”

I nodded, disturbed by this incident, and the expectation and joy of rice porridge were not left at all.

It's a bit excessive.
