Chapter 349: The Princess Who Refused to Marry 17

I didn't expect to marry with the third princess, the third princess will definitely make them second-class maids or even personal maids, but the eldest princess is not a fuel-efficient lamp, this errand is not easy to do, as long as the eldest princess is in trouble, she will lose her life at any time.

The two maids bowed and withdrew, and they couldn't sleep tonight.

Xining smiled and said, "I'm going to get married in two months, and I have already said that you will use that piece of fabric first." ”

There is embroidery here, but generally speaking, both the royal family and the noble ministers are made of solid linen clothes, the difference is the jewelry, the higher the status and the richer the jewelry, the more expensive the jewelry. And this piece of cloth, a sari brought from afar, was embroidered with beautiful patterns around the edges, and sewn with many pearls, twelve of which were the size of a little finger of almost the same size and color. If the fabric is broken, the pearls can be removed and strung together to make jewelry.

This is the third princess's mother spent almost all the dowry and rewards to get, originally intended to give it to the eldest princess, but the eldest princess didn't wait for the marriage, so it was too late to start with the third princess. It was given to the little princess instead, but the little princess sent it back.

The third princess suddenly smiled shyly.

He instructed two more sentences and asked the third princess to go to the side hall to rest. The third prince mainly lived in the side hall until the day of his marriage. The mother of the third princess was also willing to let the third princess marry in the little princess's bedroom, because the pharaoh and the crown prince often went to the little princess's bedroom, and she was also favored by the pharaoh.

After a few days, Pharaoh came running.

Xining was eating fruit with the third princess.

The third princess saluted to the pharaoh, but Xining still leaned, and the pharaoh had already exempted her from saluting.

Xining asked the maid to bring the fruit soaked in the well water, and told her not to eat too much, if it was too cold, for fear of gastrointestinal problems.

Pharaoh saw that the third princess next to him was already an adult, and she had lived here for more than a month, and her body was not only very good, but also a lot of flesh had grown.

Look at the little daughter again, I heard that she likes to eat meat recently, and she also lets the maid walk around every morning and evening, talking and laughing with the three princesses around her, and her health is much better than before. In addition, the eldest princess finally reined in a little, and she couldn't help but feel good.

After eating a few grapes, he stood up: "Sulita, go out with me." ”

After hearing this, Xining immediately agreed: "Okay, father." "The princess can't leave the palace at will, and it's been more than four months since she got here, and she went out of the palace once to the temple of Isis, which is not far away.

Pharaoh: "It's very lively outside, I heard that there are executions today. ”

Xining ...... Take her to see the execution, Pharaoh, do you think this kind of scene is good for an 8-year-old girl?

Outside the palace is the city, which is located in a large port, and is extremely prosperous with people.

Huge stone statues of pharaohs and wives are everywhere, as well as towering spire steles inscribed with pharaoh's great deeds.

Everywhere there were vendors selling their wares, and many were foreigners. From time to time, Nubians who were used as slaves were carried off the port ships with ropes and sent to the market for trading. Civilians were rarely dressed and walked barefoot, and slaves were almost unclothed, and everyone was accustomed to it. The task of this era is still good for men.

Hiinin half-leaned on the chair of the palanquin, carried by slaves behind the pharaoh.

Dozens of guards opened the way in front, and everywhere they went, all the people knelt on either side, their foreheads resting on the ground, and their heads were not allowed to be raised. You must wait until Pharaoh is gone before you can raise your head, and whoever dares to raise your head will inevitably be whipped. The offspring of God are not for everyone to look at.

When I arrived at the entrance of the downtown area, that is, the Dharma field, there were already several corpses hanging on the pillars.

Fortunately, the corpses of the witch doctor and the medicine slave who poisoned them before have been burned, otherwise it must be very scary to hang there on asphalt and expose them to the sun.

The maids who murdered the third princess Tenafel are still hanging for everyone to enjoy and watch. Only ten days have passed, and they are almost mummified in the sun, and there are fat crows and vultures parked next to them, and they peck at them from time to time.

Xining ......

After lowering the two sedan chairs side by side on a high platform, the maid immediately came over and fanned the wind with a large fan. There was a big umbrella on top to cover it, but it was still hot.

About a dozen maids began to carry plates and began to sprinkle spices and perfumes, and threw bread, as well as a small amount of gold beans and relatively cheap beads and other jewelry. The people below began to grab and shout Pharaoh's name.

Nackhardt's back was straight, and his hands were crossed with the golden scepter and whip in a noble look.

Don't you feel hot? Huge and extravagant gold belts, badges, armbands, bracelets. He also wears a tall red and white pharaonic crown. If you don't wear a crown, it's a bulging cobra-like black and gold turban, and that's still hot. Pharaoh is really not good at being a doctor.

Nakhart sat upright, looking ahead, but whispered to the little princess: "Pharaoh is God, and he must have the majesty of God, and he must be like God to favor the people, and he must share food and wealth with the people. A few more prisoners will be pardoned later, but of course those who rebel, patricide, tomb robbers, and blasphemers will not be pardoned. ”

Xinin nodded, taught. But the trouble is over as soon as possible, or she's dying of heat.

After distributing the things, the forgiveness of the prisoners began.

The prisoners were almost always commoners, as the nobility generally did not commit crimes, and the slaves were disposed of by their masters.

First, the offender was charged with the least offense. Although the thief is exempt from servitude, he still has to cut off a finger.

Civilians are also guilty of adultery, both men and women, and the woman is to be put to death or have her nose cut off, and the man is to pay one-third of his wife's property. They were monogamous and were not allowed to have other wives or husbands, but they could own slaves. That's why the young and beautiful female slaves and strong slaves here are very expensive, and if they get tired of using them, they can be exchanged and sold at a reduced price. Of course, nobles and rich people would never make such a low-level mistake, and would rather spend money on slaves than cheat on commoners or nobles.

Of course, there is no need to worry about the body master, the body master is the descendant of God, and God will not make mistakes, and the blood relatives of the gods here also rob each other of power and wives, so the laws of mortals do not apply.

There were also those who killed their own children, who were sentenced to hang the child's body around their necks until the body was completely decomposed.

On the contrary, the death penalty is the least, like a person who hangs on a pole, but he is only punished. Generally speaking, cutting off the tongue and selling it as a slave is more valuable. Therefore, at that time, it was agreed that the poisoned witch doctor and the medicine slave would be hanged, which was the pharaoh's greatest favor for the little princess.

It can be said that all kinds of novel criminal laws are still quite in place, which is an eye-opener for Xining.

Pharaoh listened to the sins of the prisoners one by one and pardoned some of them. Those who were pardoned were naturally grateful to Pharaoh and glorified Pharaoh's mercy.

Finally, the main event, the death penalty.

There have been no prisoners executed in five or six years before, but this year there are a lot of prisoners executed on the spot, and a few months ago the two prisoners who murdered the little princess were whipped and hanged on the spot, and today there is another one.
