Chapter 385: The Princess Who Refused to Marry 53
Well, you can't count on a dark and unreliable system, you can only roll up your sleeves and work hard!
Working harder than her is the 24-year-old filial father, Pharaoh Nakhat is not idle at all, adhering to the excellent tradition of Pharaoh's extensive planting and small harvest, and staying overnight every three or four days. I didn't expect to know when a woman is most suitable to get pregnant in this era. The officials in charge of the palace would wait for Pharaoh to choose all the most suitable concubines for conception when Pharaoh wanted someone to serve.
In the past, because of the queen and other concubines, many low-grade concubines did not dare to get pregnant at all, and it took a year and a half to have news of the concubine's pregnancy. And now there are at least one or two concubines pregnant every month, and at most four. This made Nackhart completely ashamed and raised his eyebrows.
Xining leaned on the big pillow and watched the official holding the sand table, showing her the new nursery and her dormitory.
"Eleventh sister, eleven sister!" Before the second prince arrived, the voice had already come from the outside to the inside.
The second prince came in with a run.
When Du Ya saw it, she immediately asked all the maids to get ready, since the second prince is here, the other princes are about the same thing.
The second prince grunted and sat down beside her.
Xining smiled at him: "I haven't seen you for three months, and the second brother seems to have grown a lot taller." "It's really tall, and it's a lot of tan.
The second prince straightened up and began to strengthen his chest: "Of course, I will be the tallest and strongest in the future." ”
"Yes, the second brother must be in the future." Hienin smiled.
He is indeed very strong, he is the most martial artist and the most powerful of all the princes, and only Akhenaten can beat the second prince.
That was when the second prince knew that the third prince had slept with his master, and ran over with his soldiers, but he didn't find the third prince who had escaped and was nowhere to be seen. went to the master's bedroom, and without saying a word, he got into the chariot with the master in his arms, and fiefdomed all the way. is already the eldest brother of the pharaoh, and then lead the troops to snatch the master back.
The third prince walked in at this time, and saw the eleventh princess looking at the second prince with a smile, although her face was still as usual, there was obvious jealousy in her eyes that quickly drooped.
Poor baby, the mother's status is not high, which causes the small officials in the palace to dare to give a face. It was psychologically distorted and dark, and at a certain point in time, it suddenly exploded, causing him to desperately take possession of the eleventh sister who would become the queen.
Xining sat up and patted the vacant position beside him: "Third brother come and sit." ”
The third prince, who was originally going to sit elsewhere, suddenly lit up his eyes and hesitated.
The second prince had already taken the towel and began to wipe his sweat, and said with a big grin: "What are you doing in a daze, sit down quickly, you can eat honeydew melon after wiping your sweat." ”
The corners of the third prince's mouth pulled upward, and he sat next to the eleventh princess, unable to hide his excitement in his heart.
Xining can see clearly that the second prince is brave and strategic, and everything is done according to his own preferences. If you feel uncomfortable, you will do it, but at this time, you haven't had any other thoughts.
At this time, Akhenaten had not yet entered the house, but a guard had entered.
After the guards saluted, they said that Akhenaten had returned, and ordered him to bring some gifts.
Duya carefully brought the gift, and Xining looked at it. A tray of gifts was brought along the way, small jewelry and local homespun cloth. The jewelry is not expensive, it is all agate, turquoise, crystal beads and the like. The homespun cloth is different from the linen and cotton cloth that you usually wear, and it is a little thicker, but it is colorful and dazzling.
Local dyes are expensive, and they are also very easy to fade, and when you sweat, the color sticks to your body along with the sweat. Even the most noble and wealthy pharaohs were willing to work jewelry.
It seems that Akhenaten has grown up a lot, and he knows how to avoid suspicion, ask people to give gifts, and report safety. Anyway, there are so many eyes in the palace, and what is sent, someone will know it immediately, so they will simply send it over in the open.
Xinin nodded, ordered Duya to take it, and asked someone to prepare a piece of fruit to be sent to Akhenaton.
The second prince was already eating the honeydew melon, and muttered in his mouth: "Or Akhenaton is thoughtful, next time I go out, I will definitely bring a gift to the eleventh sister." ”
The third prince just bowed his head and ate, but did not speak.
"Don't be that troublesome." Xining picked up a bunch of grapes and ate slowly: "As long as you can all come back safely." ”
All the princes who had gone out to collect taxes had returned to attend the feast.
Xinin motioned to the officials and continued.
So the officials went on according to the sand table.
After the official finished speaking, the second prince also killed a whole melon, wiped his hands and mouth: "Want to expand?" ”
"Yes! There is not enough place. Xining said lightly: "Help me see where there are deficiencies." ”
"Where would I do this! Since it is going to be built, it is simply going to be built. The second prince asked curiously, "How many are there to be pregnant now?" ”
Xining replied helplessly: "Eleven! ”
"Huh?" The second prince suddenly lost his voice and shouted: "Father is so powerful? ”
Nakhart happened to come with the crown prince and the fourth prince and heard it at the door.
"Uh-huh!" Nackhardt cleared his throat a little embarrassed, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the two sons next to him smiling, and his old face couldn't help but be a little red. But the fact that he has many children proves that he is still young, and he can't help but be quite proud.
When Nackhat entered, he excused himself from the crowd and looked at the new nursery on the sand table, which was more than twice as large as the original. But he still asked with concern: "It's okay, is it enough, does it need to be bigger?" ”
Xining smiled: "Whether it is enough depends on how many pregnant concubines there are, and this has to be asked by the father." ”
Everyone burst into laughter, and Nackhardt couldn't help but laugh out loud after a reproachful look.
Xining thought about it, stood up, walked to the sand table and looked left and right: "His Royal Highness Tadelia is right, there is no harm in a bigger place. ”
She stretched out her hand, and the official immediately handed over the small wooden stick in his hand to accompany the speech.
Xining stabbed a nearby one with a wooden stick, and then used the stick as a pen to draw the garden next to it: "This is about the same. ”
The official was stunned: "This garden belongs to the queen." "As the queen's private garden, it is planted with trees and flowers, and it also raises rare birds and animals sent from various countries.
Xining threw the stick back to the official: "Pregnant women should also take a walk and smell the fragrance of flowers and plants." I don't care about my palace anymore, and the queen should make some sacrifices for the sake of the royal heirs, let alone the garden. ”
Turning to Pharaoh, he slightly exerted his little daughter's coquettishness: "Father, did you say that?" ”
Nackhat looked at his little daughter's smiling face and nodded without thinking: "Yes! ”
Xining raised her eyebrows at the officials and looked straight at her: "Send someone to build a wall today!" ”
Now the eleventh princess is in full swing, and the queen is under house arrest in the dormitory, and there is no need for the garden for a while...... The official immediately nodded yes, turned around and ordered someone to build the wall, and now the nursery was not only twice as big, but more than three times larger.
Xining looked at the sand table with satisfaction, this time the territory is bigger. Also, the queen should know the news soon, so there is more reason to do it, right?
