A whole silk satin, with a luster as soft as a pearl. I reached out and gently grasped the fabric, and it felt smooth as water. The tentacles are cold, but slowly they become warm in line with the heat of the skin.

The hairpins of two mutton fat and white jade have an ancient style, but there is a sense of elegance and presence that is extremely simple and cannot be ignored. Also, two porcelain plates and three porcelain bowls.

"Tsk, I really don't know how this thing can be done, so white, so bright, so beautiful."

Xiao Man picked it up: "This is a top-heavy gold, the merchant said that this is fragile, transport a box, and in the end only these few are still intact, sister, do you like it?" ”

I felt something stuck in my throat, and my voice was a little hoarse: "I like it...... Loved it. ”

He smiled, "If you like it, it's fine." This porcelain bowl is indeed beautiful, stronger than our pottery bowls and wooden bowls. Let's eat rice with this when we come back, right? Just one by one, my father, me, and my sister. ”

Is it? It sounds like a happy life for a family of three, but the reality is not a fairy tale.

"Where's this?" Xiao Man picked up the hosta: "What is this?" ”

"It's a headdress."

I pulled my hair up, pinned the hosta, and asked him, "Is it pretty?" ”

"Looks good!" Xiao Man clapped his hands and applauded, but said: "But this thing is also afraid of falling and touching, why are these things from the East so brittle." ”

That's right. Egyptians loved gold and worshiped it. Gold is bright and strong, even if it is smashed into a gold cake, it is worth it. These porcelain, jade...... But it's different......

Chinese love jade and describe men as humble and gentle, gentle as jade. Describe the woman as round and jade, jade and ice-clear. In the face of humiliation, it is better to be broken than to be whole...... There are all kinds of jade, and the spirit of jade is commendable, but most people are not jade, and they don't want to exist like jade...... It's too fragile.

Xiao Man wears a golden eagle ornament on his head, no matter when he sees him, he is full of energy, this child is really energetic. As he grew older, he didn't say anything about whether he got married or not. He is also sensible, and his attachment to his sister or the exclusivity of a child is not love and cannot be a reason for marriage.

"By the way, I saw a big ship in the harbor today, and it doesn't look like a merchant ship."

"Oh?" I asked, "What's that way about?" Have you made inquiries clearly? ”

"It looks like a Nubian ship, maybe they've sent an envoy."

Ally, who came in from outside, looked not very good, saluted, and brought us the wine.

"What's wrong, Yari? Under the weather? ”

"It's not." She said: "I met Tasha just now, and she said that she must be very busy with a banquet tonight, and she can go back to the palace without time, so let me speak for her and Prince Memphis." ”

"Huh? A big banquet? Who's entertaining? ”

"It's the messenger of Nubia." Yali said.

I look at her expression, things shouldn't be as simple as she said.

"Ally, what the hell is going on? Is the messenger very promising? ”

"Princess," said Yali, "Princess...... The messenger was a Nubian princess, so she had to stay in the palace, and I heard that she would stay for a long time. ”

Xiao Man and I exchanged glances.

Nubia made the princess a messenger?

What's the idea? I'm afraid it's in the name of an envoy......

"Then we don't have to prepare dinner tonight, since it's a big feast, then we have to go to the banquet together, right?"

Xiao Man shook his hand: "I'm not going!" ”

This kid.

Sure enough, as he went, Pharaoh's men came and invited me to the feast. I fiddled with the hosta that had just arrived, and I was a little distracted. After finishing her make-up, she said cautiously, "Princess......"

"Huh?" I came back to my senses: "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm afraid there are a lot of people coming tonight, why don't you put on that new set of jewelry? That's more in line with the identity of the princess. ”

I shook my head: "It's weird, besides, no matter how many people come, they don't come to see me." Why are you dressed up so eye-catching? I thought the more inconspicuous the better, bury myself so that I could observe others carefully. ”

Yali thought for a while: "What the princess said is that this princess must have come for a purpose." ”

I sat on a chariot to go to the banquet, now I am by no means a rookie to the banquet, as long as I listen to the music playing outside, I will roughly know what the specifications of this banquet are.

Nubia sent a princess to be a messenger, and she didn't catch the festival early or late, making it clear that the drunkard didn't mean to drink.

The guard at the door saluted me, and the palace slave standing by the door was about to make a loud announcement, and I waved my hand at him. The man immediately shut up, very interesting.

There are so many people at every banquet, although it is not yet the level of the wine pond meat forest, but it is also luxurious enough. Pharaoh is very good at collecting money, but he is also very good at spending money, not to mention that he has so many women, and the food they wipe every day is a terrible expense. I have slowly grasped the accounts of the palace in my hands now, and the more I look at it, the more discouraged I feel. Fortunately, he only favors one Ansuna now, which saves me trouble, and I don't have to bother dealing with so many women at the same time.

Sometimes I really hope that Xiao Man will ascend the throne as soon as possible, this child has no good impression of those women in the harem who wear heavy makeup and smear their voices, but he is not afraid that he will spend money so fiercely in the future.

But I didn't know at that time that Xiaoman didn't love those women, but in the end he fell in love with a more troublesome character!

Ansuna did not come, but I saw a woman in the middle of the Pharaoh's house, dressed in a flaming red gauze garment, sitting very close to him. It's been a long time since I've seen any other woman so close to my perverted daddy other than Ansuna. The performance and deeds of this princess...... Hmph, it's really Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it!

I had come to me, and Pharaoh had only seen me: "Ah, Isis, you are here! He had a little wine on his face, and waved his hand heroically: "Come on, come on, meet and get to know each other." This is the messenger from Nubia, the beautiful princess Tayili. This is my daughter, Princess Isis. ”

As soon as I saw the look in his eyes, I knew it was going to be bad.

A Yili covered half of her face with a fan and gestured slightly to me.

What is hidden in this woman's eyes, I don't think anyone in the whole palace can see clearly.

It's Pharaoh, a drunken fellow who looks dazed.

She is different from Ansuna, although both of them seem to have the charm of a mature woman and the youth of a young girl, but Ansuna's honey-colored skin looks firm and shiny, like a beautiful female leopard, with sharp claws, beautiful fur and a wild unrestrained. Ayili was fair-skinned, the whole person seemed to be a ripe strange fruit, delicate as if it was about to flow out rich and sweet juice, her lips were slightly thick, and she felt a little pouting, as if she was begging for a kiss and pleading for mercy anytime and anywhere.

This woman is too dangerous.

I spoke politely to her, and her Egyptian language was good, and taught me to be more vigilant.

I find it strange, though. Why didn't Ansuna come? Such a powerful opponent is going to attack in a big way, and her favor is about to be taken away, but she is not here.

Can't you be angry with Pharaoh?

No, no, she's not like that.

I left the banquet first and asked one of the attendants, "Where is Ansuna?" ”

"Ah, Concubine An said that she was not feeling well, so she didn't come to the banquet today."

She's not feeling well? She is as strong as a lion and a leopard, where does it come from?

What the hell is she doing?

I raised my chin and walked slowly to the harem where Pharaoh's inner favorites lived.

Although I don't like Ansuna, the princess who appeared today is more threatening. She has ambition, purpose, skill, and background...... Worse still, Pharaoh seemed to be eating her.

She is not one of those powerless women in the harem, once she is going to become a princess...... In this palace, as well as in the whole of Egypt, the political balance of power will be immediately broken.

I've got to go see Ansuna, she's not stupid, and if she doesn't want to fall out of favor, she should be smarter.

I didn't bring a few maids, and when I walked to the harem, I didn't want them to know that I was looking for Ansuna, so I waved her to wait where she was.

Yali once said that the palace where Ansuna lives is the best one in this harem, so it should be the front one?

I slowly climbed the stairs, which were richly decorated and full of splendid golden walls, and when the maids and chamberlains saw me, they immediately bowed down to the ground and saluted.

"Princess." One of the female officials raised her head tremblingly: "Why did the princess come here?" ”

"Where's Ansuna?"

"Ah," said the lady, bowing down, "Ansuna's dwelling is in the next house. If the princess has any problems, I'll summon her. ”

So I'm in the wrong place?

"Who lives here?"

"It used to be a beautiful woman from a big green island, but she died not long ago, so it's been empty."

Through the curtain on the terrace, I saw that the palace on the opposite side was even more magnificent.

"Princess, I want the slave to go to ......"

"No need."

I was about to turn around and leave, when I suddenly saw someone standing in the shadows under the terrace of the palace.

Not from the palace......

Although I only saw the corner of the person's clothes flashing, I could tell that it was not from the palace.

Who?

My heart tightened, could it be an assassin?

I took a few steps forward, lifted the curtain and looked there.

In the shadows stood several men, and by the light of the bronze lamps in the bushes not far away, I saw that they were dressed in monk's robes—not as worn by the priests or monks of the palace, but as a simple garment of kudse-woven linen.

Where do they come from? What to do there?

Suddenly a figure swayed on the opposite terrace, and only two people could be seen through a veil.
