56
I was not mistaken, but when Princess Namidavin saw me coming in alone, she had a very depressed look of disappointment.
I smiled at her, and she was able to collect her emotions and greet me, but she was sullen and very perfunctory to me.
I feel a little emotional, she is also a princess, and she is about the same age, Mi Dawen's environment must be much simpler than mine, and there are parents in front of me, and I have never seen any wind and rain, so my temperament will be so ......
I suddenly wanted to laugh, to sum it up in one word, she was really stupid and naΓ―ve.
Neither she nor I had the heart to deal with each other, and when she looked at me, there was an inquiring, not intimate look in her eyes. She was interested in Memphis, and she was afraid that she also knew the strange traditions of Egypt, and it was natural that she would not be kind to me.
She quickly took her leave, and Hordia came over, with a look of disdain: "This kind of princess is really a straw bag." β
I said, "I'm happy to be a straw bale." I heard that Midavon is a concubine and is very favored. His father, the concubine of King Bitaido, also gave birth to other children, but none of them were as good as hers. β
"That's because there is power in her mother's family."
I smiled and turned my head: "Then again, which of us didn't rely on the power of our parents to get to where we are today?" I am Pharaoh's daughter, and you are the daughter of the prime minister, so don't laugh at fifty steps and take a hundred steps. β
Hordia said: "That's different, she's so old and not sensible, and she's a worm if she doesn't have someone to protect her, and she'll die in less than a day." β
"It's a problem for her to die with us." I looked at her: "I used to think you had a good temperament, but now it seems that I really misunderstood." Send you an errand to protect her until she leaves Egypt. β
Holdia opened her mouth wide and looked at me with a blank expression.
"No way, life is like this, there are some things that you don't want to do, the more you have to do them. Go ahead, I'm sure with your wisdom you can protect her well. β
With a bitter face, Hordia shuffled away.
I was also distracted, and I couldn't read it while I was flipping through the scrolls of paper in my hands. Will Alie be able to bring the blonde man back? What does she have to say to me like that?
Also, Immorton ......
I rubbed my furrowed brows, if I could, I would also like to be a straw bag-like princess, do whatever I want, and do everything without worrying.
I drank some more decoction, and felt that my spirit was much better than yesterday, but I still had no strength, and I played with Xiaojin for a while, and the feast began to be held in front of me, and I slept for a while, and when I got up, the maid returned, "Your Majesty, Pharaoh, please go to the front." β
I was stunned for a moment before I realized that this Majesty was Memphis.
I just woke up in a trance, and I thought it was my father.
"What are you going to do?"
"Your Majesty Isis." Yali came in in a hurry, she was still wearing a outfit and didn't change out: "I saw that girl, it's just ......"
"What?" I was a little concerned and got up and walked forward: "Are you dead?" β
"No, no," said Arrie, "but the king suddenly appeared there and took her captive." β
Memphis?
The maid, who was interrupted, said, "Your Majesty, the king invites you to go, that is, to see a newly captured slave. β
This child, although slaves from ancient Greece were relatively rare, was not so rare. But how did he get to the slave village? The hunting ground is still some distance away.
I stood up: "Okay, I'll go to the front and have a look." β
It's really strange that this guy ......
Is it her who is talking about the variable?
I passed through the flat square in front of the main hall and watched a group of guards whipping a slave-like man there, while Memphis was pestering a girl wrapped in burlap.
It's such nonsense, it's too much of a loss of his identity.
I walked over slowly, and Memphis saw me coming, smiled very happily, and pushed the blonde girl in linen down in front of me, and said, "Sister, this little thing is very interesting, do you want it?" β
I glanced at him: "I don't want it, I know that I am not a slave at all, what can these hands do?" β
But the blonde girl suddenly grabbed the corner of my skirt and said eagerly, "Elsis! I've finally found you! You send me back! I'm going home! β
Without me talking, Yali stepped on her and shouted, "Get out!" Dare to call the queen by her name! Don't kill you! β
I was stunned for a moment, the girl's hairstyle, neatly trimmed eyebrows, skin color, eye pupils, hair color......
But what surprised me was not these, but her temperament, the tone of her voice......
She...... Not like the people of this era!
I glanced at Memphis and called Tasha, "Take her down, wash her clothes, and give her something to eat." She looked at me as she covered the place where she had been stepped on by Ally, her blue eyes shining: "Elsie! β
Yali raised her eyebrows and wanted to hit her again, I said, "Forget it, she's not from here, she doesn't know the rules, don't beat her." β
Unexpectedly, she continued: "Please, don't let them beat Xie Ji, okay?" β
I looked at the slave who was being beaten below: "Sheygi? β
"Yes, he was arrested to protect me, he has no malicious intent, please let people not hit him......"
I looked at it: "It's not a copper whip, you can't kill anyone in one beating." Tell them to do 20 more hits and stop. β
She exclaimed, "Why? β
I looked at her: "It would be light for him to disobey Pharaoh's will and not take his life." Without some punishment, do you think that the kingship is pretty? β
She froze there with her mouth half open, and I looked at Memphis, who also had black mud on his hands, and slowly lowered his head under my gaze and said, "I'm going to change my clothes." β
I sighed and said, "You are already a pharaoh, so you have to be careful." How many people did you take with you when you went out hunting today? β
He first said, "Two hundred," looked at my face, and his voice was a little quieter: "One hundred......"
I continued to stare at him, and his voice became quieter: "Forty ......"
I nodded and smiled, "Very well, the rest of your guards who didn't go out with you today will be given forty lashes each." What about Sinuye? β
"He's got something to do today," Memphis explained to him, "I'm going to work on the armament overseeing early in the morning." β
"What about Unas?"
Unas came over and knelt down in front of me.
"Did you persuade the old man?"
Memphis said again: "He persuaded me, but I didn't ......."
Unas himself did not shirk his responsibility: "It was my fault that I failed to dissuade the king. β
"Well, since you yourself understand, then go and get forty lashes as well. And he commanded that the forty men who went out with the king this day should give them double portions of bread this month. β
Memphis, of course, did not want his personal guards to be whipped by me, so he obediently went to change his clothes by his tail under my authority. But I think when he changes his clothes, he may slip to someone and tell him that the whip that beats his guards must be light and soft, and must not be too heavy.
I entered the hall, perhaps by illusion, the dancers who were dancing happily seemed to have invisible ropes tied to their bodies, and their movements suddenly became stiff and rigid.
As soon as I sat down in my place, Sinouye came. He hurriedly knelt down in front of me and saluted: "Your Majesty Isis, those soldiers have been flogged and punished, can you let the medical officer treat their wounds?" β
"So fast?" I said, "Injuries naturally need to be treated, and good medicine must be used." β
He breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, because I came up from below just now, and I didn't dare to treat their injuries after seeing them whipped, I thought it was Your Majesty......"
I laughed: "I didn't say that you are not allowed to treat your injuries, you can go and pass on your life." β
"Yes." He leaned forward slightly, grabbed the corner of my skirt and brought it to his lips and kissed it: "I thank the queen for her magnanimity for those guards." β
I bowed my head and said, "Please get up." β
He stepped back, Memphis came out after changing his clothes, and after a while, Tasha brought the blonde girl with her.
Memphis proudly told me that the blonde slave girl's name was Carol.
When he turned his head, he was stunned for a moment, and the blonde girl who had been changed into a gauze dress and came back washed away the sludge, revealing a beautiful face.
Tasha nudged her, "Salute Your Majesty." β
She took two steps forward, and it looked like the knee was unlikely to bend down. A pair of eyes looked at me, opened their mouths and said, "Love ......" quickly stopped, and said: "Queen Isis, I, don't you remember me?" I'm Carol. β
I asked, "Where are you from?" β
She said eagerly: "I am from Cairo in the twentieth century!" I'm Carol! Don't you remember me? You've lived in my house, and I also said you and Brother Ryan ......."
Suddenly my head buzzed, Cairol, Ryan? Ryan, Kyroll, where have I seen these names?
I felt my body shake a little, as if a fragile levee had finally been washed away by the flood, countless memories of the past, broken, coherent, colorful, gray...... I felt black in front of my eyes and leaned back.
