Chapter 372: The Princess Who Refused to Marry 40
When the second prince heard this, he wilted.
And the prince was happy, and when he heard it, the eleventh sister's marriage was not as good as she wanted. But worries came up again, there was still a tigress concubine at home, and it was not easy to make the tigress give way.
At this moment, the prince can't wait for the little princess to grow up quickly, and the concubine will not be able to give birth to children in the next five or six years.
The second prince had a dead gray face. The two sat motionless in the car, stunned. After the third prince and the fourth prince looked at each other, they didn't dare to make a sound, pretending to look at the scenery outside the car.
Xining sat in the carriage with a thick blanket and a straw mat under her.
Pharaoh felt sorry for her and let her sit alone in a car. Even the prince was all four, and Akhenaten sat with his teacher, Ibudu. Except for Pharaoh, who has such treatment, she is the queen.
In fact, Pharaoh was supposed to sit with the queen, but Pharaoh was also to "take care" of the queen and make her sit more comfortably. As a result, the queen took Isenofre, who Pharaoh had not informed, with her.
Du Ya sat next to him and asked softly, "Does Your Highness want to drink water, do you want to eat something?" ”
Xining shook her head, and just like that, she was still a little uncomfortable. Couldn't this damn body be any better?
In this way, the team went all the way to the middle of the stream. It is said to be in the middle of the stream, but in fact, it is only three or four hundred kilometers up, and then take a boat back to Hong Kong. There will be other carriages along the way, and after changing carriages, they will carry torches and drive all night. It takes about two days to reach your destination.
Xinin lay in the carriage like this, dazed. Because there is a car alone, there is everything in the car, and Duya is served by Duya for eating, drinking, and Lazar.
When changing trains at night, Xining felt like her feet were stepping on cotton, and she couldn't stand steadily.
In the end, Du Ya carried her to change the car, you must know that this body is only 8 years old, and the bones are very thin, the body is thin, and the visual measurement is about forty pounds.
The pharaoh, who was changing cars, was distressed when he saw it, and originally thought that the little princess would leave a few days in advance and get a rest on the way. But when I thought of the queen, I decided to go together, which was the safest under my nose. Who knows what's going to happen on the road.
The next morning, I changed cars again and continued on my way.
Xining lay groggily in the car, covered with a thin blanket, and Duya kept helping her fan. In order to prevent the heat wave from outside the car from entering, the carriage was closed, trying to leave the cold of last night.
You must know that you will not agree to come out, and you will have to stay up for a day and a night, and you will not be able to arrive until noon tomorrow. Don't wait for the queen to attack her, she will die on the road first.
No matter how cold the night was, it was not yet noon, and the temperature inside and outside the carriage was already the same, so I had to open the windows for ventilation. In fact, it is a hot spot under the sun, and with shading, the temperature of 345 degrees is not very hot for Xining. It's just that this body can't stand it a little!
Feeling as if it wasn't as hot today as yesterday, Xining propped herself up and wanted to see the scenery outside. It's rare to come once, maybe you won't see you again after you leave, so you should see whatever you say.
I found that the road on the ground was actually wet.
Duya replied: "The local officials ordered people to sprinkle water along the road. ”
It's a waste of money and labor! But here, too, it's nothing. You must know that the riches of the pharaoh are unimaginable, and the seeds will grow on their own if they are sown, as long as there are no plagues. There are also a large number of gold and gem mines around, and there are more than a dozen vassal countries.
Even if civilians go to labor, build mausoleums, etc., they can get gold as a reward. Now sprinkling water can be counted as labor, and it is in the service of the pharaoh, and the commoners must be happy.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the village ahead, several maids took bread, linen, jewelry, and gold beans and scattered them on the waiting villagers to show Pharaoh's generosity and celebrate with the people.
The villagers also brought melons and fruits from their fields and threw them into baskets on the ox carts that followed. In a few moments, the ox carts in which the guards were sitting were piled up.
Xining ate some figs and continued to lean on the scenery outside the car.
By noon the next day, they were almost getting used to it, and the boarding place was also there.
As soon as they got out of the car, the officials patted their asses and said how majestic and huge these ships were, and that there were probably no such big ships in the whole world.
Pharaoh looked at the sun boat, which was dozens of meters long, and the upturned bow alone was six or seven meters high, with its head held high.
If you follow the chronology, perhaps these ships are among the leading ones in the world. After all, it is still around 3,000 BC, but after seeing a Federation warship that can fit tens of thousands of people, the size of half a district, and can travel in the universe, this scale has not yet achieved the shocking effect. You must know that in the future, there will be three- and four-story wooden warships, cruisers, aircraft carriers.
But he can't always look very different, so he imitates others and pretends to be amazed a few times.
The sun boat was used for rituals or to transport the mummy of the pharaoh and queen, so the priests had already boarded the ship in front of the ship. It was followed by several two-story warships, with cabins and tents on them; On either side of the lower floor, hundreds of slaves sat side by side, rowing neatly with oars in accordance with the command.
According to rank, the members of the royal family were the first, followed by the noble ministers, and then the officials. Each boat is patrolled by a guard.
The boat that can go up the river is quite stable, and the river has just begun to rise, and there are not many waves on the river.
The cabin is small, and everyone is willing to lean laxly in the big cool tent on the ship, enjoying the scenery on both sides of the strait.
Pharaoh Nackhat told the prince and the little princess to lie closer, on either side. But the queen and Isenofree were given a reason by him to rush to a place far away from him, and said that the scenery was good.
Nackhat tells people myths and stories about the river.
Xining listened well and knew that when the river began to turn green, it was a precursor to flooding. At the peak of three or four months, the tax collector would take a pole to measure the depth of the water and how much land had been flooded. According to the degree of flooding, the food tax for the next year is specified.
It was a deliberate attempt to make the boat move slower, and when the people along the shore saw the huge boat sailing like a cloud on the river, they knelt down one after another. Some knew it was Pharaoh, while others thought it was a miracle.
Nackhat was delighted to have his sons and the little princess swim along the river and to worship all around. When his eyes turned to the moon ship in front of him, the priests who were bareheaded, dressed in linen robes, and wearing rich jewelry, he was a little unhappy.
Nakhart uttered a nasal voice: "Huh, a swarm of locusts!" ”
Pharaoh was a god, but in order to maintain his rule, he had to be kind to the priests who served the gods. In some dynasties, the high priests had more property than the nobles, and even owned one-third of the country's land and tens of thousands of slaves. The priests were also able to marry and have children, and were responsible for making everyone believe in the gods and believe that the pharaoh was a god.
Nackhardt hated and had to use these priests. You must know that Pharaoh is still supreme, otherwise he would rather be a priest.
Xining couldn't help but wonder why the high priest involved in the previous plot hadn't appeared yet...... Forget it, let's not think about it yet. This time, there is something very important, it depends on the queen.
It's a bit of a little anticipation when you think about it!
