Chapter 340: The Princess Who Refused to Marry 8
Realizing that the little princess had noticed him, Meneptach smiled at him, and suddenly a thousand charms came to his face.
Xining couldn't help but take one more look, and then turned his gaze. No wonder the fourth prince will have the most illegitimate children in the future, and many wives and daughters of nobles and rich people will be fascinated by him, and finally reach out to the eldest brother's palace.
I looked at the princess, there were six of them, and if I remember correctly, there should be three more who didn't come because of physical reasons. Pharaoh Nakhat was still very diligent in creating man, knowing that there were more dead and stillborn.
The four princes belong to the smartest, the luckiest, and the most powerful concubines, so that they can stay, and the others will die if they don't get sick. The mothers of the three princes seem to have reached a certain relationship, and if they can't kill each other's sons, they will kill the other concubines, and no new babies have been born in the past few years.
And now it's the princesses' turn to start eliminating, and if they're not careful, they'll die.
Xining sighed slightly, this is Gong Dou, this is the charm of the throne. Everywhere, no matter what dynasty, where.
The princess and prince are all about the same age, so they have been taught quite deeply. The teacher dismantled a few complicated texts, and after explaining, announced a break for a while. Before teaching the next lesson, students can take a break and digest the content of the lesson.
The prince picked up a piece of paper made from the stem of the sedge, on which was drawn the hieroglyphs he had just taught: "Eleventh sister, can you write this character?" ”
Xining shook her head slightly: "I can only understand ordinary words." ”
According to her master's memory, she only learned the usual syllables that were used to record letters. And this special kind of picture-like text, which can be taken apart and seen, can represent a story, most of which is related to religion, and is used to draw on the walls of temples and mausoleums.
The prince smiled kindly, explained again, and then comforted: "Eleventh sister is not a priestess, it is enough to be able to read syllables." ”
Priestess? Xinin smiled bitterly, here, both priests and priestesses could start a family and marry outside the temple. She could only remain pure unless she swore to become a saint and devoted herself to the goddess Isis. But the royal family will never let her be a saint, and to be a priestess will damage her noble status. Because the royal family has a higher status than the priests, where the gods worship the gods, unless they are royal families who have committed serious crimes, they are demoted to priesthoods and imprisoned in the temple.
Now the prince and pharaoh now expect the Lord to be alive!
The next two lessons were the languages and scripts of neighboring countries, which often had to go to war. Fortunately, this task is not too late, there is still a period of time before being ruled, otherwise as the last queen, she will stage a legendary life with her two commanders, and finally commit suicide with a poisonous snake.
When it was almost noon, the morning class was over. The hot afternoon is a time to rest, and in the evening, the princes learn the art of riding and archery while the heat fades.
"Eleventh sister, will you come back tomorrow?" Looking at the little princess who was already dazed, the prince asked distressedly.
"It depends, thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your concern." Xining was lying on the sedan chair, feeling that her eyelids couldn't be lifted.
Duya immediately ordered the slave carrying the sedan chair to leave.
Back at the palace, Duya simply carried her to the bed.
Xining wanted to cry without tears, originally thought that the Wulinggen waste product was the worst, but he didn't expect that his current body could keep breathing.
It's really that there are few clothes that are suitable for picking, and the body is so bad that it is easy to push. What can be done with this sick body?
No, you have to exercise. It is not only necessary to arm the brain with knowledge, but also to have a healthy body.
In the evening, when the sun was setting in the west and the sun was not so hot, Xining asked the sedan chair to carry her to the martial arts training ground.
Not only the teachers, but also the princes came. When he heard that the little princess wanted to learn martial arts, even the fourth prince, who had been thinking about avoiding suspicion, couldn't stop being curious.
When the little princess, who had been lying down for an afternoon and had poured half a bowl of goat's milk, was helped off the sedan chair by the maid, and when she came over, the teacher's sweat came down. It's too difficult to blow down this small body that the wind blows down!
The teacher in charge of the elementary teaching tried to ask, "What does Her Royal Highness want to learn, the club, the javelin, the sword, or archery?" ”
Xining thought for a moment: "Let's learn archery first." "Archery is available in many places, one of the conventional weapons, and it can be used in other missions after learning it.
So the teacher called for the smallest bow and arrows.
The bow is also divided into large and small, the largest bow is not very many people in the whole kingdom can pull it, and the smallest bow is used by young children for beginners.
Hienin picked up the bow with one hand, and with the other he placed the arrow on the bow, pulling it away with great difficulty.
The teacher nervously taught: "Okay, good, that's right, just like that, Her Royal Highness Princess, shoot out!" ”
The arrow was fired...... It landed less than a meter away.
This is a bow that a four-year-old child learns for the first time! In this way, not even a bird can be killed. The person stood there, and the arrow could not even be rubbed against the oily skin.
"Poof~" The fourth prince couldn't help but burst out laughing. The third prince lowered his head and tried to laugh, while the second prince simply laughed.
The crown prince glared at the second prince, and comforted the little princess who was panting and her face was obviously not very good: "The eleventh sister shot very well, and the arrow shot out." Many people can't shoot arrows when they first learn. ”
With arms as thin as twigs, such a body could barely even hold an ordinary war hammer, let alone fight with a curved-bladed sword and shield.
Xining looked helplessly at the target three meters away, this should be the shortest distance, maybe after practicing for half a year and a year, he can shoot it.
Heavy weapons are not good, light weapons are not commonly used, three thorns, one thorn needs speed, this wind blows down the body, can the breathing be evenly mediated when fighting? Don't faint again.
The prince thought for a while, untied a sheath from his belt and a gold dagger with a jeweled handle, and handed it over: "Eleventh sister, this was given to me by my father, and now I give it to you." ”
Everyone was surprised, this is a treasure, and the prince wants to give it to the prince and concubine.
Xining took it and frowned slightly: "Big brother, I still don't want it." ”
"What's wrong?" The prince was very surprised, the golden dagger was luxurious and small: "This blade is forged from meteorite, sharpened like clay, and with enough strength, it can cut off the head of a wild boar." ”
"It's not!" Xining had a bitter face: "It's too heavy." ”
Almost entirely gold, the dagger was small but heavy, and it felt unusually heavy to hold in both hands, let alone wield.
The prince reluctantly took the dagger from the little princess's hand, and saw that the dagger was leaving the little princess's hand, and her hands were still floating upward.
No one could bear it now, and the martial arts teachers turned their heads too much and didn't let the smiling faces show. The prince couldn't laugh or cry.
"Hahaha~" The second prince laughed so hard that he sat on the ground holding his stomach: "It's still the eleventh sister who is the most powerful, I admit defeat." ”
