Moon Wake Heyang
Work related
With a thin line of gaps, a figure could be vaguely seen leaning against the cushion, the smell of soup and medicine flowed in the spacious room, and the bitter taste could be discerned between breaths.
The person behind the curtain was helped to sit up by the maid on the right, and the maid on the left put down a big cushion, and the person leaned back gently, and the maid supported him throughout the process.
"Your Highness." Unas knelt down on one knee and bowed his head.
"Unas, long time no see, get up." The young man's voice came from behind the curtain, pleasant and gentle, but with a hint of powerlessness.
Standing up, Unas looked around and said with a smile: "No wonder Your Highness always refuses to go back to Thebes. This place is so elegant and quiet that I want to move here."
"If you really want to move in, then I welcome you, but I'm afraid the king won't let you go." Alnis signaled the maid to roll up the curtain, and when the maid rolled up the curtain, he pulled up the blanket to block the window Suddenly small summer wind.
He raised his eyes and looked at Arnis who was sitting on the bed. His complexion was too pale, his messy but soft black hair, and his thin silhouette that couldn't be concealed by a thick blanket. It was hard to believe that such a weak young man was the real brother of the Queen of Egypt. , Unas frowned.
"You are thinner than when we met last time. Your Highness, let the medical palace of Thebes take a look. You can't wait like this."
Smiling gently, shaking his head slightly, he touched his legs under the blanket, his eyes calm and calm. "No need, it's been like this for many years, there's no need to alarm the king for a little illness."
"This is not a minor illness, Your Highness——"
"You ran all the way, just to see how much I've lost? The king asked you to come to me, what's the matter?" Unas was interrupted softly, bending his brown eyes similar to those of Tusasita, he Motioned Unas to sit down.
Knowing that I couldn't persuade him, I sighed. "A special guest came to Thebes, and the king felt that he had to let you know about it."
"guest?"
"Yes, it's so unbelievable that I don't even know what to say."
"This guest doesn't belong to Egypt, or rather, she doesn't belong to this world at all, does she?"
Horrified, his face froze immediately, and Unas stared at the person on the bed with eyes full of surprise. "Your Highness, you, you know."
"What should come will always come, and you can't stop it." He turned his face very slowly, and looked at the window with heavy curtains, not a single ray of light could penetrate, not even the pervasive breeze could penetrate.
Doubts piled up in his heart. From Arnis' indifferent expression, there was a ray of anxiety that was not clear. Unas was not sure if he had read it wrong.What was this high priest worrying about, and how did he know about Xia Yuebai who suddenly appeared?
There were too many questions, and Unas wanted to verify the answer immediately, but just as he was about to speak, Arnis cut off his voice with a smile on his face.
"Unas, I'm going back to Thebes."
"You--really!" Surprised, he jumped up from the chair suddenly.
Nodding, said: "Well, get ready and leave immediately."
"Yes." Nodding his head, imagine how happy Tusasita would be if he knew that his own brother was finally willing to go home.
As for Xia Yuebai's matter, let's ask slowly on the way back to Thebes, the most urgent thing is to leave as soon as possible, lest Arnis change his mind again.
Unas bowed to the person on the bed, turned and strode away.
Watching the door close behind Unas, Arnis frowned quietly, the small flame on the floor lamp by the bed flickered a few times without warning, and shook itself without wind.
The author has something to say: the rhythm of continuous updates is completely dependent on the amount of manuscripts stored.
chapter eight
After almost ten days of quiet and boring, Unas never came, Penny asked around, everyone said he went to Memphis.
Tusahita hadn't been seen since that night either.
The ancient Egyptian empire was the largest country in the world at that time. When the Europeans were still drinking blood, the ancient Egyptians had already created their own splendid civilization on the banks of the Nile River. Temples and palaces, like beautiful pearls scattered in the narrow river valley, abound.
With such a huge empire in charge, it's not difficult to guess how busy Tusa Sita is. Xia Yuebai didn't expect her to appear again, but just hoped to hear the good news that she could go home.
On the second day since Tusasita came, the meals sent to the small courtyard have undergone tremendous changes. Not only the meals include meat, but also beverages, and the variety of vegetables has also increased. There are three flavors of bread alone. above.
What’s more, the loaf… has no sand.
This kind of treatment must have something to do with the Egyptian queen.
The courtyard door was pushed open with a "bang", interrupting Xia Yuebai's meditation, she looked towards the door.
Five or six maids walked in. The maid at the head was a bit older, with heavy makeup on her face and clothes of a slightly different style from the others. Obviously, she had a higher status.
"Sister Dove." Petunia raised her head from the flowerbed, quickly wiped off the dirt from her hands, and saluted Dove with a smile on her face.
Dove pointed at Xia Yuebai who was sitting on the steps of the yard, and asked sharply: "Is that her, the new maid who came here?"
"Yes."
"Since you are a maid, why are you idle here all day instead of serving the king?" Dove heard that a foreign tribute maid lived in the backyard of Eshke Palace, but she never saw her go out, food and drink were delivered, what kind of maid Could it be more comfortable than her maidservant?
Penny glanced at Xia Yuebai, walked forward with a smile on her face, and explained: "Sister Dove, this new maid, she doesn't know much Egyptian, and she doesn't know the etiquette in the palace. Una Master Si said let me teach her for a few days first, and then go to serve the king."
"I don't understand anything. Why send such useless things? I only know how to eat and drink all day. Why don't you send me to work in a post outside the palace instead of staying in the palace." If you have no figure, no face, why should you stay in a palace full of beautiful servants.
"Sister Dove, Lord Unas told her to learn etiquette before leaving the city. You let her go out of the palace now, and I can't report to him when the Lord comes back." Now I can only move out of Unas for a while. However, Dove was very courageous, and did not dare to send out those who Unas had left in the palace.
Round eyes turned sideways, her domineering face was full of disdain, she glared at Penny, and Dove walked towards Xia Yuebai shaking her slender waist.
Walked around her and looked her up and down, she was really a little girl who didn't look up to her at all... With a thin body and pale complexion, except for her cascading black hair, she could still attract a little bit of attention. Fu really couldn't find a place that was pleasing to the eye in her body.
"What's your name?" He said arrogantly, raising his thin eyebrows.
"Xia Yuebai." Her ancient Egyptian is much more fluent than it was a month ago.
"What's the name, it sounds awful."
Silence, there is no need to offend this provocative woman out of nowhere. From Petunia's attitude, Xia Yuebai can probably guess that Dove's status is higher than that of ordinary maids.
"Where are you from?" This was the first time I had seen a girl with this appearance. She wasn't Syrian or Hebrew. Could it be that she was from Two Rivers? She didn't look much like her.
"I..." A few place names quickly flashed in my mind, all of which I heard from Xia Huatian in the past, and I listened to it as an anecdote at that time, but I didn't expect it to be useful now. "I'm from Crete."
Frowning, slightly jealous. "No wonder, I've never seen a person like this before, so it was sent from such a small place so far away."
"Based on your appearance, don't try to serve the king. When Lord Unas comes back, I will ask him to let you out of the palace, so as not to be an eyesore here." Brushing the long curly hair around her face, she stared at Xia Yuebai.
"Yes." He replied coldly, his eyes drooping, too lazy to look at the appearance of this successful villain.
Pulling her skirt and walking in front of Xia Yuebai, Duofu looked at the person with drooping eyes, hummed softly domineeringly, and raised her hand---"slap" a resounding slap across the face.
The slapped eyes glowed white, and her face was burning with pain. Xia Yuebai stared at her in astonishment. Under Dove's aggressive and provocative gaze, she clenched her hands, lowered her head slowly, and remained silent.
"Sister Dove!" Penny ran over and supported Xia Yuebai, five finger prints slowly appeared on her fair cheeks, and her right cheek swelled up in the blink of an eye.
"A trash who doesn't know what to do." Leaving a word of contempt, Dove left the small courtyard with the people.
"Miss, come into the room quickly, apply cold water, and go." Sigh, the humble maids in the palace have all been bullied by Dove, and beatings and scolding are common.
"Yeah." Half of his face was numb, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and gasped slightly in pain.
This is the world of the weak and the strong, both in modern times and in ancient times.
Power, status, status, superior people can do whatever they want, on the contrary, ordinary people will be bullied.
I don't agree with this phenomenon, but I can't do anything about it.
★★★★★★★★★
"What's wrong with your face?" Sitting at the table, Tusasita frowned, looking at Xia Yuebai whose face was red and swollen, and asked in a cold voice.
"I said it fell, Wang Xin?" The person who hadn't seen him for ten days, did not expect to walk into the small courtyard at night, surprised and a little embarrassed, because of his miserable appearance now.
"If you fell face-first when you fell, I believe it was the fall. But you're not that stupid, are you?"
"Wang, you are very good at joking."
"Who moved the hand?" His brow moved, and even the brown under his eyes darkened a bit.
"It doesn't matter, it's already like this anyway, forget it."
"never mind?"
"Wang, don't pursue it, it's all a misunderstanding."
"I can kill you, but no one else can touch a single hair of your hair, understand?"
"Understood, Wang's words are very comforting." He laughed at himself, wanting to laugh, but just as he grinned, the muscles in his cheeks felt a dull pain.
"Weakness must have a limit. Don't you know how to resist?" Today, after finally sending the Babylonian envoy back, he received a letter from Unas in the evening, saying that Alnis would come back with him.This brother, who has never set foot in Thebes city for four years, is finally coming back.
He kept sending people to invite him back, but he refused all the time.Unexpectedly, this time he actually offered to go back to Thebes, which was surprising and even more overjoyed.
After the meeting ended, Tusasita remembered the person who was put in the corner of the Eshke Palace, and planned to tell her the news of Alnis' return, although Xia Yuebai didn't know Alnis at all.Tusa Sita simply wanted to find someone to share her joy with.
When I entered the door, I saw such a face, and suddenly my good mood disappeared.
"In Wang's eyes, I am weak. In my eyes, I am enduring. Before I find a way to go home, I don't want to cause trouble. Wang, don't you think the same way?"
"Call your maid in."
"Why?" Surprised, what does she want?Horrible images flashed through my mind.
He was not looking at her, turned his face away, and spoke indifferently. "You are not qualified to ask me questions."
Hesitating, frowned, and called softly: "Petunia, come in."
Petunia came in stooping and knelt down. "king."
"Pack up your things and change places."
"Yes."
Seeing the people at the table get up and prepare to leave, Xia Yuebai spoke eagerly. "Where should I go?"
The footsteps did not stop, and the voice came from her high face, full of arrogance and arrogance. "As I said, you are not qualified to ask me questions."
"..."
"Amon Palace." The moment she stepped out with her back foot, she dropped a name, and the slightly hot evening wind by the door swept her tall figure away into the moonlit night.
"Amon... Gong." Dazed for a while, Xia Yuebai sat back on the bed, watching Penny busily packing her things with a confused expression. "Petunia, what's that place?"
Petunia smiled like a sunflower, her whole face lit up, and she spoke excitedly. "Miss, that's the king's bedroom."
"What? She - the king's..."
Alas, this is troublesome, won't it attract more people's attention?
She doesn't want to be paid attention to, she wants to nest here quietly waiting to find a way to go home, what should I do now?
What the hell is Tusahita thinking?Why did you push her in front of everyone? An unpredictable person really can't guess her thoughts at all.
★★★★★★★★★
It wasn't until standing in the room of the Amon Palace that Xia Yuebai really realized the humble feeling that Grandma Liu felt when she walked into the Grand View Garden... Surprised, shocked, amazed, timid, and insignificant.
Colorful colors, colorful decorations, exquisite furniture, and the entire wall covered with gold and platinum, and the walls are pieced together with red sapphires, turquoises and other unnamed jewels. , a huge mural that blooms brightly in the sun.
Dazzling, incredible, amazing.
The wind and sand of the years have destroyed these magnificent works of art, leaving only some rough shadows of ruins to the people of later generations.However, with these abandoned stone cities hidden in the desert alone, modern man has been overwhelmed by the virtuosity and ambition of ancient Egypt.
However, only when you really stand in front of this glorious era, can you be in awe of these great ancients from the heart. What they created not only changed the history of human civilization, but also had wisdom that cannot be copied.
Slowly, moving footsteps, listening to the huge tremor of the heartbeat like a drum, Xia Yuebai fell into a trance state obsessively.
She aspires to be an excellent interior designer, standing in such an extraordinary and beautiful room, the shock in her heart is hard to describe in words.
Petunia said that maids cannot live in the Amon Palace, so all the rooms in this palace are empty except for the one where Tusasita lives.
Empty... Such a beautiful place can only be appreciated by the sunshine and breeze that shuttle back and forth. It's a pity and a waste.
Hur, I'm curious what Tusahita's dormitory looks like.
An ordinary room is still so luxurious and charming, so the bedroom where the queen of Egypt lived was piled up with gold and then filled with all kinds of rare and precious gems. I am afraid this is not enough.
After settling everything, I went to the window and sat down, holding my chin, staring at another amazingly beautiful scenery outside the window...
The summer sun penetrates the gaps in the dense branches and leaves effortlessly, and the colorful halo falls on the emerald green grass, dotted with stars, changing shapes back and forth with the breeze.
There is a pool on the edge of the grass. The finely carved lion head sends the clear water from the ground into the pool. There are very light and shallow ripples, which are occasionally wrinkled by the wind. Soon the sparkling water surface returns to calm.
There is a piece of water lily planted by the pool. This kind of flower, which is regarded as a sacred object in Egypt, can be seen everywhere in the palace. They float with the water and sway in the wind, enjoying the blooming time leisurely.
With arms bent and chin resting, lying on the snow-white window sill, eyes lingering on the patch of water lilies, following their dancing postures in the wind, gradually getting quieter and getting drunk...
"Miss, Dove is here." Petunia whispered behind her.
Dazed, the skin on the cheek seemed to have a memory, and when he heard the name, he felt a sharp pain.
"My maidservant came to pay my respects to Miss, if——" Suddenly, Dove's voice was choked in her half-open mouth, and her flattering smile froze on her face.
Helplessly looking at Petunia, Xia Yuebai didn't know what to say, and silently looked at Dove who looked stunned and shocked.
Duo Fu, who had died down, was completely shocked by the situation in front of her. How could the maid in the small broken courtyard be the one who moved into the Amon Palace?
Except for the queen of Egypt, no one else could live in this palace, let alone the maids, even Alnis, who was a prince, had never lived there.
This maid who came to pay tribute, why should she!
"I don't need anything. If there is anything, Penny will come to you, thank you." She said, just about to stand up, her shoulders were held down by Penny, and she sat back on the soft chair.
"Yes." Nodding, still in great horror, Dove couldn't recover quickly, and hurriedly saluted and exited the room.
"Miss, don't be polite to her, you don't know how many maids she has bullied, and now it's her turn to be bullied." He snorted coldly at the door, today is really a happy day.
"Forget it, look at her scare. Although she is an annoying person, we don't have to embarrass her, just ignore her." The way she treats people she doesn't like is to turn a blind eye and ignore them.
"Miss, you are such a good-tempered person. By the way, the king has gone out of the city, and he may not come back tonight. Let the servants take you around the palace. You should also familiarize yourself with the terrain so that you don't get lost in the future. "
Nodding, Petunia's proposal completely hit her mind, holding Petunia's hand, Xia Yuebai couldn't wait to go out quickly.
"Miss, don't worry, walk slowly." Petunia said pantingly as she was pulled to a trot.
"Go there, that stone pavilion is beautiful, hurry up, Petunia!" she said excitedly, her slightly flushed face facing the sun, her long black hair flying behind her back.
Temporarily forgetting the pain of leaving home, Xia Yuebai indulged herself in enjoying the ordinary but short-lived happy time.
★★★★★★★★★
The wind became weaker, much softer than the strong wind mixed with sunlight during the day, and after sunset, the temperature dropped significantly.
After dinner, Petunia has prepared bath water for her.
The half-person-high tub was big enough for two people to sit on. Flower petals floated on the clear water, and the faint aroma filled his breath. Xia Yuebai took a comfortable bath for the first time since he came to ancient Egypt.
Soaked until her skin turned pale, she reluctantly climbed out of the tub and put on her new dress. The delicate linen material was cool against her skin, making it breathable and comfortable.
Suddenly, wanting to go for a walk, she slid into the moonlight by the window, seeming to be shaking the snow-white temptation, luring her into its arms.
Petunia wanted to accompany her, but Xia Yuebai didn't agree, and wanted to go out for a walk alone, so as to dry out her sticky and damp mood for some reason.
Following the moonlight, walking in the evening wind filled with light fragrance, the long skirt crossed the ground and cast a vague white shadow, and at the same time, it was somewhat blurred, and there was Xia Yuebai's mood...
It's been almost two months since I came here.In two months, she changed bit by bit from being afraid of rejection to accepting it calmly.
She couldn't forget those two days in the criminal justice department, they were like devil's horns, every time she thought of them, they would pierce into her heart, the pain made her even stop breathing.
However, the rest of the days are full of blandness and ease.Penny's meticulous care, Unas's gentle and handsome smile, and the half-pity and half-indifferent eyes of the mighty Egyptian queen looked at her, all of which made her feel at peace.
Compared with the panic when she found herself traveling through time and space before, she is now much calmer. She no longer forces herself to accept everything, but faces it naturally.
Going around the yard, after making two right turns and one left turn along the corridor, there is an indoor man-made lake.
A two-meter-wide promenade leads directly from the entrance to the center of the lake. In the center of the lake there is an artificial ring-shaped island with several rattan benches scattered around. Slowly spraying the sweet spring underground.
At this time, there was silence here, except for the sound of water splashing in the lake, no other sound could be heard.
Xia Yuebai walked slowly along the corridor, her reflection was clearly cast on the water surface in the corridor, wearing a white dress, she looked very ladylike.
Lol, Xia Huatian always said that she didn't dress like a girl, if he could see her current appearance, would she be very happy?
Tears welled up in his eyes, blurring the road, he raised his hand to rub his sore eye sockets, and looked forward.
After a glance, Xia Yuebai was stunned.
There was a person sitting by the lake, the moonlight clung to her hair and fell on her shoulders, and the dazzling silver like flowing water was winding around her body, as if using a knife called Night Breeze to carve out the moonlight The intoxicated silhouette, the casual and lazy atmosphere, the presumptuous beauty...
The heart skipped a beat, and when he was staring intently at the statue-like beautiful figure, he felt a feeling of bewilderment fluctuating between his breathing.
A little light, a little astringent, and a little sweet that can't be tasted.
Chapter nine
To go, or to stay.He hesitated, my heart was in a mess, and I didn't know why.
Those brown eyes looked at her slowly, and for a moment, Xia Yuebai seemed to see a flash of gold overflowing from Tusasita's eyes, the incomparably gorgeous gold, like sunlight, but the temperature of ice and snow.
"I didn't know you were here, sorry to bother you." He lowered his head, hiding his embarrassment.
"Since I'm bothering you, just stay a little longer and sit down."
"Yes." He came to her side, looked around, and sat down on the grass half a meter away from her.
"New place, do you like it?" With one hand resting on his bent knees, the other propping up the grass as shallow as the back of his hand, he quietly stared at the water.
Tucking her hair behind her ears, she smiled gratefully. "I like it very much. Thank you for arranging such a nice place for me to live in."
Tusasita glanced sideways at her, turned his gaze away, and remained silent.
"Wang, why do you let me live here? What if it arouses suspicion from others?"
"Do you know, if you want to hide someone, where is the best place to hide him?" She smiled and said, her eyes still stayed on the calm lake full of moonlight, and her eyes were also so calm that it made people afraid.
"I don't know." She shook her head and frowned.
He laughed twice, and a sigh slipped out of his throat, which was inaudible. "Among the crowd, the place full of people is the safest place."
The closer you get to her, the more confused you are to her, as if you can't see the real Tusahita clearly because you are too close, which makes Xia Yuebai feel a little at a loss. "But I heard that the Amon Palace does not allow maids to live in. If you let me live in the palace, many people will have objections. I'm afraid..."
"You don't have to worry about that."
"..."
"Still worried?"
"No, it's too eye-catching to live here, and I'm afraid it will cause you trouble."
"He said he wasn't worried." With a flip of his wrist, a small stone appeared in his palm.Raising her hand and throwing it, a full arc crossed half of the lake, and the moment the stone fell into the water, ripples were created, and the scattered moonlight floated on the waves, followed by her faint voice. "Okay, you just need to live in peace. When Alnis arrives, see if he can find a way to send you back. However, I advise you not to have too much hope."
Nodding and closing her eyes, she didn't hold out too much hope, otherwise she would be even more disappointed. "Yes, I know."
Silence, watching the ripples of the lake together, the sudden silence, even the rustling sound of the slight wind stirring the tip of the grass, can be clearly heard in the ears.
"You..." Hesitating for a while, said: "Are you going to get married?"
Brow peak raised lightly. "Why, is it strange?"
"Of course not, I just want to congratulate you." Suddenly, not knowing what expression to use to face her, Xia Yuebai bit her lips, a habitual little movement, only when nervous or uneasy.
Pulling the corners of his mouth, he laughed unhurriedly, a very light laugh, like the quietly flowing air under the torch in the night.
"I'll go back first." Without waiting for her permission, Xia Yuebai had already stood up.The drooping black eyes reflected the black hair that was also as dark as night, and the swaying hair in the breeze injected a bit of freshness into the stagnant air around.Turning around, Xia Yuebai stepped onto the corridor with light steps.
"That..." Tusa Sita's voice sounded behind him, hesitant to speak.
Stop and turn around. "What?"
The moment Xia Yuebai turned her head, Tusasita took her eyes away from her, looked at the end of the corridor, and said, "It's okay, let's go back."
I can't tell, a little disappointed, it's a ridiculous idea. "Yes, Wang also rests earlier."
Sitting motionless, the night-colored lake seeps into the bottom of her brown eyes, rippling another piece of sparse bright silver moonlight.
★★★★★★★★★
Penny walked into the room with a fresh fruit plate, saw Xia Yuebai lying on the table, and painted strange pictures on the papyrus, gently put down the fruit plate, and Penny chose a big crocodile with golden skin and green inside. pears, wipe carefully with a soft cloth.
"Miss, here." Putting the plump avocado in Xia Yuebai's hand, Petunia looked at the painting on the papyrus without saying a word.
"Thank you." She raised her head and smiled, concentrating on designing on paper. Even if she couldn't go to school, she didn't want to waste her studies.
"Where have you been all morning? I didn't see your shadow?" He asked casually, took a blank piece of paper, and drew an outline with a few strokes.
"I went to the kitchen to get some fruit, and I ran into Dove on the way back."
"Did she make things difficult for you?" Slightly startled, she looked up at Petunia and asked with concern.
"No, but..." Wringing his hands, he lowered his head.
"Why, she's being rude again, isn't she?"
"I don't know if it's an ugly word, but..."
"Petunia, are you going to go on 'but' all the time, or tell me directly, what did Dove say?"
"She said, you are the king's servant."
"What did you say - what am I?" Asked in surprise, did he hear it wrong.
"You are... the king's servant." Petunia frowned and said it again in a low voice.
That's right, it's just that she doesn't believe it.All of a sudden, the mess of thoughts caused her to stutter. "You, you are saying it again, what sleep?"
"Miss, it's the servant, that's--" Thinking she didn't understand, Penny was about to explain, but Xia Yuebai raised her hand abruptly to stop her.
"Stop, don't say it!" Even if she was being stupid, she knew the meaning of these two words.
What she didn't understand was how she was going to sleep with Tusahita—they were all women, were those gossipers blind? !
"Who made such nonsense? How can you slander the reputation of the king and me like this? We are all women, how can we fabricate such ridiculous rumors, it's too much!" I was about to explode with anger, and my cheeks were flushed.
With a wry smile, it was obvious that Xia Yuebai's violent reaction was not what Penny expected. "It's... the king."
"Wang?!" This time, she heard it very clearly, she was stunned, opened her mouth halfway, and couldn't figure it out for a long time.
For a long while, she looked at Penny in disbelief, her voice a little dry. "Was it said by the king?"
"Well, Dove told me personally. She said that someone in the conference hall this morning asked why Miss would live in Amon Palace. The king said that you are... a servant, so you live here."
"Why did she say that! This, this--my god, isn't this self-defeating? Doesn't she care what people say about her?"
It's messed up, it's all messed up.
Tusahita explained her existence to people in this way, and it is simply getting darker and darker. Now it is difficult not to attract the attention of others... The Queen of Egypt ---- sleeper!
What and what!
"The king never cares about other people's opinions, besides, you are not... the first one to attend bed. Therefore, the ministers have long been used to it, and they will not dare to talk about the king casually." Petunia wanted to appease the emotional Xia Yue Bai, but what he said clearly made Xia Yuebai who was in a state of astonishment not only confused, but also added more confusion.
"Not the first one?!" There were too many shocks today, like bombings one after another, causing Xia Yuebai to lose her normal comprehension.
"Miss, I can't say these words, it's a capital offense, please spare your servant." You can't talk about Pharaoh's private affairs casually, this is the law.A lowly slave like her could have killed an Egyptian pharaoh even by looking directly at her, let alone discussing life in Tusasita in private.
"Okay, you don't need to say, I'll ask the king." Putting down the pen, Xia Yuebai walked out, her steps hurried and hasty, as if she was in a mood.
"Don't, don't go, don't go. Miss, you will kill both of us, come back quickly! Miss! Miss!" Scared pale, Petunia watched Xia Yuebai trot away and disappeared by the door. Hastily chased out.
★★★★★★★★★
The steps under his feet were a little messy, and he ran out of the Amon Palace, only to realize that he didn't know where to find Tusasita.
Petunia rushed over, took Xia Yuebai's hand, and begged with a bitter face: "Miss, go back, don't go looking for Wang."
"Tell me, where is she?" She didn't listen at all, there was only a tense string in her head, buzzing.
"Miss!" Penny was about to cry, and she blamed herself for talking too much, she should wait for Tusasita to tell Xia Yuebai herself.
"If you don't tell me, I can find it too. I'll find the conference hall, or some other hall, by myself." Shaking off Petunia's hand, she chose the long corridor on the left and ran straight for it.
Behind him is a piece of night-black long hair that undulates like waves, and with the running steps, strands of it are like a black cloud, swiftly flying in the bright sunlight cast across the eaves of the corridor.
★★★★★★★★★
Half-guessed, she actually found the meeting hall on the left side of the main hall of the palace.
Breathing slightly, a few strands of hair stuck to his sweaty face and pushed aside.Xia Yuebai stepped up the steps, the sun was approaching noon, and it was just on fire, the snow-white steps were scorching hot, and the burning temperature could still be felt through the soles of the shoes.
"I want to see the king." Panting, he said to the guard at the door, his chest was heaving violently due to the running, and his face was slightly red.
The young guard froze for a moment, and looked at the person on duty on the other side of the door. The two looked at each other, and looked at the girl in front of them strangely.
Judging from her clothes, she is not a maid, and which maid dares to run to the door of the meeting hall and say "I want to see the king" directly.
"I live in Amon Palace." Seeing that the guards didn't intend to let her in, she was a little anxious, and the words she blurted out really shocked her.
When the guard heard "Amon Palace", his expression was suddenly startled.
They have been on duty at the entrance of the meeting hall since the early morning, and heard all the conversations inside outside the door. In addition to the daily routine state affairs and the situation of neighboring countries, they also heard today that the queen's bedroom has moved into a servant. This is a boring duty in the morning. The most unexpected thing I've heard.
This slender girl said that she lives in the Amon Palace, so she is the... sleeper.
"Can you let me in, I have something urgent to see the king." She begged again, her eyes lingering eagerly on the two guards.
Not sure whether to let her in... If they don't let her go, if there is an emergency, they will offend the servant, and she will blow in Tusasita's ear, and their lives will be blown away.Let it go, if Tusasita blames it, they can't afford it.
Forget it, it's all wrong inside and out, it's better to gamble once.
The guard nodded to her, and raised his hand to signal Xia Yuebai to go in.
"Thank you." She thanked them with a smile, and before she could take a look at the surprised face of the guard, she had already pulled her skirt and stepped through the door.
The meeting room is obviously much cooler than the outside. The well-ventilated floor-to-ceiling windows introduce cool wind from the shade of the trees. The most peculiar way to cool down is the water curtain wall in front of the window... A drainage curtain falls from the joint between the roof and the wall. The water curtain reflects the light in the room, crystal clear like a wall made of crystal.The thin water curtain falls into a half-meter-wide tank on the ground, and the water flow is guided into a small hole on the side of the wall, and then disappears outside the wall.Then, after passing through the circulation system of the waterwheel, it falls from the roof again. After a day of back and forth use, clean and fresh river water will be transported from the Nile the next day.
This refrigeration method is a bit like the principle of air conditioning, but it is much simpler than air conditioning, and it is very environmentally friendly. It only needs wind to drive the waterwheel.
The cool wind came through the water curtain wall, blowing away the shortness of breath from her lips. Xia Yuebai walked towards the middle of the meeting room. There were several rows of men in Egyptian costumes standing in front of her. People with robes and soft shoes and short robes People with swords, civil and military officials in different costumes.
Through the shadowy gap, a familiar figure was vaguely seen. Tusasita was leaning on the throne in a cloak,
The person behind the curtain was helped to sit up by the maid on the right, and the maid on the left put down a big cushion, and the person leaned back gently, and the maid supported him throughout the process.
"Your Highness." Unas knelt down on one knee and bowed his head.
"Unas, long time no see, get up." The young man's voice came from behind the curtain, pleasant and gentle, but with a hint of powerlessness.
Standing up, Unas looked around and said with a smile: "No wonder Your Highness always refuses to go back to Thebes. This place is so elegant and quiet that I want to move here."
"If you really want to move in, then I welcome you, but I'm afraid the king won't let you go." Alnis signaled the maid to roll up the curtain, and when the maid rolled up the curtain, he pulled up the blanket to block the window Suddenly small summer wind.
He raised his eyes and looked at Arnis who was sitting on the bed. His complexion was too pale, his messy but soft black hair, and his thin silhouette that couldn't be concealed by a thick blanket. It was hard to believe that such a weak young man was the real brother of the Queen of Egypt. , Unas frowned.
"You are thinner than when we met last time. Your Highness, let the medical palace of Thebes take a look. You can't wait like this."
Smiling gently, shaking his head slightly, he touched his legs under the blanket, his eyes calm and calm. "No need, it's been like this for many years, there's no need to alarm the king for a little illness."
"This is not a minor illness, Your Highness——"
"You ran all the way, just to see how much I've lost? The king asked you to come to me, what's the matter?" Unas was interrupted softly, bending his brown eyes similar to those of Tusasita, he Motioned Unas to sit down.
Knowing that I couldn't persuade him, I sighed. "A special guest came to Thebes, and the king felt that he had to let you know about it."
"guest?"
"Yes, it's so unbelievable that I don't even know what to say."
"This guest doesn't belong to Egypt, or rather, she doesn't belong to this world at all, does she?"
Horrified, his face froze immediately, and Unas stared at the person on the bed with eyes full of surprise. "Your Highness, you, you know."
"What should come will always come, and you can't stop it." He turned his face very slowly, and looked at the window with heavy curtains, not a single ray of light could penetrate, not even the pervasive breeze could penetrate.
Doubts piled up in his heart. From Arnis' indifferent expression, there was a ray of anxiety that was not clear. Unas was not sure if he had read it wrong.What was this high priest worrying about, and how did he know about Xia Yuebai who suddenly appeared?
There were too many questions, and Unas wanted to verify the answer immediately, but just as he was about to speak, Arnis cut off his voice with a smile on his face.
"Unas, I'm going back to Thebes."
"You--really!" Surprised, he jumped up from the chair suddenly.
Nodding, said: "Well, get ready and leave immediately."
"Yes." Nodding his head, imagine how happy Tusasita would be if he knew that his own brother was finally willing to go home.
As for Xia Yuebai's matter, let's ask slowly on the way back to Thebes, the most urgent thing is to leave as soon as possible, lest Arnis change his mind again.
Unas bowed to the person on the bed, turned and strode away.
Watching the door close behind Unas, Arnis frowned quietly, the small flame on the floor lamp by the bed flickered a few times without warning, and shook itself without wind.
The author has something to say: the rhythm of continuous updates is completely dependent on the amount of manuscripts stored.
chapter eight
After almost ten days of quiet and boring, Unas never came, Penny asked around, everyone said he went to Memphis.
Tusahita hadn't been seen since that night either.
The ancient Egyptian empire was the largest country in the world at that time. When the Europeans were still drinking blood, the ancient Egyptians had already created their own splendid civilization on the banks of the Nile River. Temples and palaces, like beautiful pearls scattered in the narrow river valley, abound.
With such a huge empire in charge, it's not difficult to guess how busy Tusa Sita is. Xia Yuebai didn't expect her to appear again, but just hoped to hear the good news that she could go home.
On the second day since Tusasita came, the meals sent to the small courtyard have undergone tremendous changes. Not only the meals include meat, but also beverages, and the variety of vegetables has also increased. There are three flavors of bread alone. above.
What’s more, the loaf… has no sand.
This kind of treatment must have something to do with the Egyptian queen.
The courtyard door was pushed open with a "bang", interrupting Xia Yuebai's meditation, she looked towards the door.
Five or six maids walked in. The maid at the head was a bit older, with heavy makeup on her face and clothes of a slightly different style from the others. Obviously, she had a higher status.
"Sister Dove." Petunia raised her head from the flowerbed, quickly wiped off the dirt from her hands, and saluted Dove with a smile on her face.
Dove pointed at Xia Yuebai who was sitting on the steps of the yard, and asked sharply: "Is that her, the new maid who came here?"
"Yes."
"Since you are a maid, why are you idle here all day instead of serving the king?" Dove heard that a foreign tribute maid lived in the backyard of Eshke Palace, but she never saw her go out, food and drink were delivered, what kind of maid Could it be more comfortable than her maidservant?
Penny glanced at Xia Yuebai, walked forward with a smile on her face, and explained: "Sister Dove, this new maid, she doesn't know much Egyptian, and she doesn't know the etiquette in the palace. Una Master Si said let me teach her for a few days first, and then go to serve the king."
"I don't understand anything. Why send such useless things? I only know how to eat and drink all day. Why don't you send me to work in a post outside the palace instead of staying in the palace." If you have no figure, no face, why should you stay in a palace full of beautiful servants.
"Sister Dove, Lord Unas told her to learn etiquette before leaving the city. You let her go out of the palace now, and I can't report to him when the Lord comes back." Now I can only move out of Unas for a while. However, Dove was very courageous, and did not dare to send out those who Unas had left in the palace.
Round eyes turned sideways, her domineering face was full of disdain, she glared at Penny, and Dove walked towards Xia Yuebai shaking her slender waist.
Walked around her and looked her up and down, she was really a little girl who didn't look up to her at all... With a thin body and pale complexion, except for her cascading black hair, she could still attract a little bit of attention. Fu really couldn't find a place that was pleasing to the eye in her body.
"What's your name?" He said arrogantly, raising his thin eyebrows.
"Xia Yuebai." Her ancient Egyptian is much more fluent than it was a month ago.
"What's the name, it sounds awful."
Silence, there is no need to offend this provocative woman out of nowhere. From Petunia's attitude, Xia Yuebai can probably guess that Dove's status is higher than that of ordinary maids.
"Where are you from?" This was the first time I had seen a girl with this appearance. She wasn't Syrian or Hebrew. Could it be that she was from Two Rivers? She didn't look much like her.
"I..." A few place names quickly flashed in my mind, all of which I heard from Xia Huatian in the past, and I listened to it as an anecdote at that time, but I didn't expect it to be useful now. "I'm from Crete."
Frowning, slightly jealous. "No wonder, I've never seen a person like this before, so it was sent from such a small place so far away."
"Based on your appearance, don't try to serve the king. When Lord Unas comes back, I will ask him to let you out of the palace, so as not to be an eyesore here." Brushing the long curly hair around her face, she stared at Xia Yuebai.
"Yes." He replied coldly, his eyes drooping, too lazy to look at the appearance of this successful villain.
Pulling her skirt and walking in front of Xia Yuebai, Duofu looked at the person with drooping eyes, hummed softly domineeringly, and raised her hand---"slap" a resounding slap across the face.
The slapped eyes glowed white, and her face was burning with pain. Xia Yuebai stared at her in astonishment. Under Dove's aggressive and provocative gaze, she clenched her hands, lowered her head slowly, and remained silent.
"Sister Dove!" Penny ran over and supported Xia Yuebai, five finger prints slowly appeared on her fair cheeks, and her right cheek swelled up in the blink of an eye.
"A trash who doesn't know what to do." Leaving a word of contempt, Dove left the small courtyard with the people.
"Miss, come into the room quickly, apply cold water, and go." Sigh, the humble maids in the palace have all been bullied by Dove, and beatings and scolding are common.
"Yeah." Half of his face was numb, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and gasped slightly in pain.
This is the world of the weak and the strong, both in modern times and in ancient times.
Power, status, status, superior people can do whatever they want, on the contrary, ordinary people will be bullied.
I don't agree with this phenomenon, but I can't do anything about it.
★★★★★★★★★
"What's wrong with your face?" Sitting at the table, Tusasita frowned, looking at Xia Yuebai whose face was red and swollen, and asked in a cold voice.
"I said it fell, Wang Xin?" The person who hadn't seen him for ten days, did not expect to walk into the small courtyard at night, surprised and a little embarrassed, because of his miserable appearance now.
"If you fell face-first when you fell, I believe it was the fall. But you're not that stupid, are you?"
"Wang, you are very good at joking."
"Who moved the hand?" His brow moved, and even the brown under his eyes darkened a bit.
"It doesn't matter, it's already like this anyway, forget it."
"never mind?"
"Wang, don't pursue it, it's all a misunderstanding."
"I can kill you, but no one else can touch a single hair of your hair, understand?"
"Understood, Wang's words are very comforting." He laughed at himself, wanting to laugh, but just as he grinned, the muscles in his cheeks felt a dull pain.
"Weakness must have a limit. Don't you know how to resist?" Today, after finally sending the Babylonian envoy back, he received a letter from Unas in the evening, saying that Alnis would come back with him.This brother, who has never set foot in Thebes city for four years, is finally coming back.
He kept sending people to invite him back, but he refused all the time.Unexpectedly, this time he actually offered to go back to Thebes, which was surprising and even more overjoyed.
After the meeting ended, Tusasita remembered the person who was put in the corner of the Eshke Palace, and planned to tell her the news of Alnis' return, although Xia Yuebai didn't know Alnis at all.Tusa Sita simply wanted to find someone to share her joy with.
When I entered the door, I saw such a face, and suddenly my good mood disappeared.
"In Wang's eyes, I am weak. In my eyes, I am enduring. Before I find a way to go home, I don't want to cause trouble. Wang, don't you think the same way?"
"Call your maid in."
"Why?" Surprised, what does she want?Horrible images flashed through my mind.
He was not looking at her, turned his face away, and spoke indifferently. "You are not qualified to ask me questions."
Hesitating, frowned, and called softly: "Petunia, come in."
Petunia came in stooping and knelt down. "king."
"Pack up your things and change places."
"Yes."
Seeing the people at the table get up and prepare to leave, Xia Yuebai spoke eagerly. "Where should I go?"
The footsteps did not stop, and the voice came from her high face, full of arrogance and arrogance. "As I said, you are not qualified to ask me questions."
"..."
"Amon Palace." The moment she stepped out with her back foot, she dropped a name, and the slightly hot evening wind by the door swept her tall figure away into the moonlit night.
"Amon... Gong." Dazed for a while, Xia Yuebai sat back on the bed, watching Penny busily packing her things with a confused expression. "Petunia, what's that place?"
Petunia smiled like a sunflower, her whole face lit up, and she spoke excitedly. "Miss, that's the king's bedroom."
"What? She - the king's..."
Alas, this is troublesome, won't it attract more people's attention?
She doesn't want to be paid attention to, she wants to nest here quietly waiting to find a way to go home, what should I do now?
What the hell is Tusahita thinking?Why did you push her in front of everyone? An unpredictable person really can't guess her thoughts at all.
★★★★★★★★★
It wasn't until standing in the room of the Amon Palace that Xia Yuebai really realized the humble feeling that Grandma Liu felt when she walked into the Grand View Garden... Surprised, shocked, amazed, timid, and insignificant.
Colorful colors, colorful decorations, exquisite furniture, and the entire wall covered with gold and platinum, and the walls are pieced together with red sapphires, turquoises and other unnamed jewels. , a huge mural that blooms brightly in the sun.
Dazzling, incredible, amazing.
The wind and sand of the years have destroyed these magnificent works of art, leaving only some rough shadows of ruins to the people of later generations.However, with these abandoned stone cities hidden in the desert alone, modern man has been overwhelmed by the virtuosity and ambition of ancient Egypt.
However, only when you really stand in front of this glorious era, can you be in awe of these great ancients from the heart. What they created not only changed the history of human civilization, but also had wisdom that cannot be copied.
Slowly, moving footsteps, listening to the huge tremor of the heartbeat like a drum, Xia Yuebai fell into a trance state obsessively.
She aspires to be an excellent interior designer, standing in such an extraordinary and beautiful room, the shock in her heart is hard to describe in words.
Petunia said that maids cannot live in the Amon Palace, so all the rooms in this palace are empty except for the one where Tusasita lives.
Empty... Such a beautiful place can only be appreciated by the sunshine and breeze that shuttle back and forth. It's a pity and a waste.
Hur, I'm curious what Tusahita's dormitory looks like.
An ordinary room is still so luxurious and charming, so the bedroom where the queen of Egypt lived was piled up with gold and then filled with all kinds of rare and precious gems. I am afraid this is not enough.
After settling everything, I went to the window and sat down, holding my chin, staring at another amazingly beautiful scenery outside the window...
The summer sun penetrates the gaps in the dense branches and leaves effortlessly, and the colorful halo falls on the emerald green grass, dotted with stars, changing shapes back and forth with the breeze.
There is a pool on the edge of the grass. The finely carved lion head sends the clear water from the ground into the pool. There are very light and shallow ripples, which are occasionally wrinkled by the wind. Soon the sparkling water surface returns to calm.
There is a piece of water lily planted by the pool. This kind of flower, which is regarded as a sacred object in Egypt, can be seen everywhere in the palace. They float with the water and sway in the wind, enjoying the blooming time leisurely.
With arms bent and chin resting, lying on the snow-white window sill, eyes lingering on the patch of water lilies, following their dancing postures in the wind, gradually getting quieter and getting drunk...
"Miss, Dove is here." Petunia whispered behind her.
Dazed, the skin on the cheek seemed to have a memory, and when he heard the name, he felt a sharp pain.
"My maidservant came to pay my respects to Miss, if——" Suddenly, Dove's voice was choked in her half-open mouth, and her flattering smile froze on her face.
Helplessly looking at Petunia, Xia Yuebai didn't know what to say, and silently looked at Dove who looked stunned and shocked.
Duo Fu, who had died down, was completely shocked by the situation in front of her. How could the maid in the small broken courtyard be the one who moved into the Amon Palace?
Except for the queen of Egypt, no one else could live in this palace, let alone the maids, even Alnis, who was a prince, had never lived there.
This maid who came to pay tribute, why should she!
"I don't need anything. If there is anything, Penny will come to you, thank you." She said, just about to stand up, her shoulders were held down by Penny, and she sat back on the soft chair.
"Yes." Nodding, still in great horror, Dove couldn't recover quickly, and hurriedly saluted and exited the room.
"Miss, don't be polite to her, you don't know how many maids she has bullied, and now it's her turn to be bullied." He snorted coldly at the door, today is really a happy day.
"Forget it, look at her scare. Although she is an annoying person, we don't have to embarrass her, just ignore her." The way she treats people she doesn't like is to turn a blind eye and ignore them.
"Miss, you are such a good-tempered person. By the way, the king has gone out of the city, and he may not come back tonight. Let the servants take you around the palace. You should also familiarize yourself with the terrain so that you don't get lost in the future. "
Nodding, Petunia's proposal completely hit her mind, holding Petunia's hand, Xia Yuebai couldn't wait to go out quickly.
"Miss, don't worry, walk slowly." Petunia said pantingly as she was pulled to a trot.
"Go there, that stone pavilion is beautiful, hurry up, Petunia!" she said excitedly, her slightly flushed face facing the sun, her long black hair flying behind her back.
Temporarily forgetting the pain of leaving home, Xia Yuebai indulged herself in enjoying the ordinary but short-lived happy time.
★★★★★★★★★
The wind became weaker, much softer than the strong wind mixed with sunlight during the day, and after sunset, the temperature dropped significantly.
After dinner, Petunia has prepared bath water for her.
The half-person-high tub was big enough for two people to sit on. Flower petals floated on the clear water, and the faint aroma filled his breath. Xia Yuebai took a comfortable bath for the first time since he came to ancient Egypt.
Soaked until her skin turned pale, she reluctantly climbed out of the tub and put on her new dress. The delicate linen material was cool against her skin, making it breathable and comfortable.
Suddenly, wanting to go for a walk, she slid into the moonlight by the window, seeming to be shaking the snow-white temptation, luring her into its arms.
Petunia wanted to accompany her, but Xia Yuebai didn't agree, and wanted to go out for a walk alone, so as to dry out her sticky and damp mood for some reason.
Following the moonlight, walking in the evening wind filled with light fragrance, the long skirt crossed the ground and cast a vague white shadow, and at the same time, it was somewhat blurred, and there was Xia Yuebai's mood...
It's been almost two months since I came here.In two months, she changed bit by bit from being afraid of rejection to accepting it calmly.
She couldn't forget those two days in the criminal justice department, they were like devil's horns, every time she thought of them, they would pierce into her heart, the pain made her even stop breathing.
However, the rest of the days are full of blandness and ease.Penny's meticulous care, Unas's gentle and handsome smile, and the half-pity and half-indifferent eyes of the mighty Egyptian queen looked at her, all of which made her feel at peace.
Compared with the panic when she found herself traveling through time and space before, she is now much calmer. She no longer forces herself to accept everything, but faces it naturally.
Going around the yard, after making two right turns and one left turn along the corridor, there is an indoor man-made lake.
A two-meter-wide promenade leads directly from the entrance to the center of the lake. In the center of the lake there is an artificial ring-shaped island with several rattan benches scattered around. Slowly spraying the sweet spring underground.
At this time, there was silence here, except for the sound of water splashing in the lake, no other sound could be heard.
Xia Yuebai walked slowly along the corridor, her reflection was clearly cast on the water surface in the corridor, wearing a white dress, she looked very ladylike.
Lol, Xia Huatian always said that she didn't dress like a girl, if he could see her current appearance, would she be very happy?
Tears welled up in his eyes, blurring the road, he raised his hand to rub his sore eye sockets, and looked forward.
After a glance, Xia Yuebai was stunned.
There was a person sitting by the lake, the moonlight clung to her hair and fell on her shoulders, and the dazzling silver like flowing water was winding around her body, as if using a knife called Night Breeze to carve out the moonlight The intoxicated silhouette, the casual and lazy atmosphere, the presumptuous beauty...
The heart skipped a beat, and when he was staring intently at the statue-like beautiful figure, he felt a feeling of bewilderment fluctuating between his breathing.
A little light, a little astringent, and a little sweet that can't be tasted.
Chapter nine
To go, or to stay.He hesitated, my heart was in a mess, and I didn't know why.
Those brown eyes looked at her slowly, and for a moment, Xia Yuebai seemed to see a flash of gold overflowing from Tusasita's eyes, the incomparably gorgeous gold, like sunlight, but the temperature of ice and snow.
"I didn't know you were here, sorry to bother you." He lowered his head, hiding his embarrassment.
"Since I'm bothering you, just stay a little longer and sit down."
"Yes." He came to her side, looked around, and sat down on the grass half a meter away from her.
"New place, do you like it?" With one hand resting on his bent knees, the other propping up the grass as shallow as the back of his hand, he quietly stared at the water.
Tucking her hair behind her ears, she smiled gratefully. "I like it very much. Thank you for arranging such a nice place for me to live in."
Tusasita glanced sideways at her, turned his gaze away, and remained silent.
"Wang, why do you let me live here? What if it arouses suspicion from others?"
"Do you know, if you want to hide someone, where is the best place to hide him?" She smiled and said, her eyes still stayed on the calm lake full of moonlight, and her eyes were also so calm that it made people afraid.
"I don't know." She shook her head and frowned.
He laughed twice, and a sigh slipped out of his throat, which was inaudible. "Among the crowd, the place full of people is the safest place."
The closer you get to her, the more confused you are to her, as if you can't see the real Tusahita clearly because you are too close, which makes Xia Yuebai feel a little at a loss. "But I heard that the Amon Palace does not allow maids to live in. If you let me live in the palace, many people will have objections. I'm afraid..."
"You don't have to worry about that."
"..."
"Still worried?"
"No, it's too eye-catching to live here, and I'm afraid it will cause you trouble."
"He said he wasn't worried." With a flip of his wrist, a small stone appeared in his palm.Raising her hand and throwing it, a full arc crossed half of the lake, and the moment the stone fell into the water, ripples were created, and the scattered moonlight floated on the waves, followed by her faint voice. "Okay, you just need to live in peace. When Alnis arrives, see if he can find a way to send you back. However, I advise you not to have too much hope."
Nodding and closing her eyes, she didn't hold out too much hope, otherwise she would be even more disappointed. "Yes, I know."
Silence, watching the ripples of the lake together, the sudden silence, even the rustling sound of the slight wind stirring the tip of the grass, can be clearly heard in the ears.
"You..." Hesitating for a while, said: "Are you going to get married?"
Brow peak raised lightly. "Why, is it strange?"
"Of course not, I just want to congratulate you." Suddenly, not knowing what expression to use to face her, Xia Yuebai bit her lips, a habitual little movement, only when nervous or uneasy.
Pulling the corners of his mouth, he laughed unhurriedly, a very light laugh, like the quietly flowing air under the torch in the night.
"I'll go back first." Without waiting for her permission, Xia Yuebai had already stood up.The drooping black eyes reflected the black hair that was also as dark as night, and the swaying hair in the breeze injected a bit of freshness into the stagnant air around.Turning around, Xia Yuebai stepped onto the corridor with light steps.
"That..." Tusa Sita's voice sounded behind him, hesitant to speak.
Stop and turn around. "What?"
The moment Xia Yuebai turned her head, Tusasita took her eyes away from her, looked at the end of the corridor, and said, "It's okay, let's go back."
I can't tell, a little disappointed, it's a ridiculous idea. "Yes, Wang also rests earlier."
Sitting motionless, the night-colored lake seeps into the bottom of her brown eyes, rippling another piece of sparse bright silver moonlight.
★★★★★★★★★
Penny walked into the room with a fresh fruit plate, saw Xia Yuebai lying on the table, and painted strange pictures on the papyrus, gently put down the fruit plate, and Penny chose a big crocodile with golden skin and green inside. pears, wipe carefully with a soft cloth.
"Miss, here." Putting the plump avocado in Xia Yuebai's hand, Petunia looked at the painting on the papyrus without saying a word.
"Thank you." She raised her head and smiled, concentrating on designing on paper. Even if she couldn't go to school, she didn't want to waste her studies.
"Where have you been all morning? I didn't see your shadow?" He asked casually, took a blank piece of paper, and drew an outline with a few strokes.
"I went to the kitchen to get some fruit, and I ran into Dove on the way back."
"Did she make things difficult for you?" Slightly startled, she looked up at Petunia and asked with concern.
"No, but..." Wringing his hands, he lowered his head.
"Why, she's being rude again, isn't she?"
"I don't know if it's an ugly word, but..."
"Petunia, are you going to go on 'but' all the time, or tell me directly, what did Dove say?"
"She said, you are the king's servant."
"What did you say - what am I?" Asked in surprise, did he hear it wrong.
"You are... the king's servant." Petunia frowned and said it again in a low voice.
That's right, it's just that she doesn't believe it.All of a sudden, the mess of thoughts caused her to stutter. "You, you are saying it again, what sleep?"
"Miss, it's the servant, that's--" Thinking she didn't understand, Penny was about to explain, but Xia Yuebai raised her hand abruptly to stop her.
"Stop, don't say it!" Even if she was being stupid, she knew the meaning of these two words.
What she didn't understand was how she was going to sleep with Tusahita—they were all women, were those gossipers blind? !
"Who made such nonsense? How can you slander the reputation of the king and me like this? We are all women, how can we fabricate such ridiculous rumors, it's too much!" I was about to explode with anger, and my cheeks were flushed.
With a wry smile, it was obvious that Xia Yuebai's violent reaction was not what Penny expected. "It's... the king."
"Wang?!" This time, she heard it very clearly, she was stunned, opened her mouth halfway, and couldn't figure it out for a long time.
For a long while, she looked at Penny in disbelief, her voice a little dry. "Was it said by the king?"
"Well, Dove told me personally. She said that someone in the conference hall this morning asked why Miss would live in Amon Palace. The king said that you are... a servant, so you live here."
"Why did she say that! This, this--my god, isn't this self-defeating? Doesn't she care what people say about her?"
It's messed up, it's all messed up.
Tusahita explained her existence to people in this way, and it is simply getting darker and darker. Now it is difficult not to attract the attention of others... The Queen of Egypt ---- sleeper!
What and what!
"The king never cares about other people's opinions, besides, you are not... the first one to attend bed. Therefore, the ministers have long been used to it, and they will not dare to talk about the king casually." Petunia wanted to appease the emotional Xia Yue Bai, but what he said clearly made Xia Yuebai who was in a state of astonishment not only confused, but also added more confusion.
"Not the first one?!" There were too many shocks today, like bombings one after another, causing Xia Yuebai to lose her normal comprehension.
"Miss, I can't say these words, it's a capital offense, please spare your servant." You can't talk about Pharaoh's private affairs casually, this is the law.A lowly slave like her could have killed an Egyptian pharaoh even by looking directly at her, let alone discussing life in Tusasita in private.
"Okay, you don't need to say, I'll ask the king." Putting down the pen, Xia Yuebai walked out, her steps hurried and hasty, as if she was in a mood.
"Don't, don't go, don't go. Miss, you will kill both of us, come back quickly! Miss! Miss!" Scared pale, Petunia watched Xia Yuebai trot away and disappeared by the door. Hastily chased out.
★★★★★★★★★
The steps under his feet were a little messy, and he ran out of the Amon Palace, only to realize that he didn't know where to find Tusasita.
Petunia rushed over, took Xia Yuebai's hand, and begged with a bitter face: "Miss, go back, don't go looking for Wang."
"Tell me, where is she?" She didn't listen at all, there was only a tense string in her head, buzzing.
"Miss!" Penny was about to cry, and she blamed herself for talking too much, she should wait for Tusasita to tell Xia Yuebai herself.
"If you don't tell me, I can find it too. I'll find the conference hall, or some other hall, by myself." Shaking off Petunia's hand, she chose the long corridor on the left and ran straight for it.
Behind him is a piece of night-black long hair that undulates like waves, and with the running steps, strands of it are like a black cloud, swiftly flying in the bright sunlight cast across the eaves of the corridor.
★★★★★★★★★
Half-guessed, she actually found the meeting hall on the left side of the main hall of the palace.
Breathing slightly, a few strands of hair stuck to his sweaty face and pushed aside.Xia Yuebai stepped up the steps, the sun was approaching noon, and it was just on fire, the snow-white steps were scorching hot, and the burning temperature could still be felt through the soles of the shoes.
"I want to see the king." Panting, he said to the guard at the door, his chest was heaving violently due to the running, and his face was slightly red.
The young guard froze for a moment, and looked at the person on duty on the other side of the door. The two looked at each other, and looked at the girl in front of them strangely.
Judging from her clothes, she is not a maid, and which maid dares to run to the door of the meeting hall and say "I want to see the king" directly.
"I live in Amon Palace." Seeing that the guards didn't intend to let her in, she was a little anxious, and the words she blurted out really shocked her.
When the guard heard "Amon Palace", his expression was suddenly startled.
They have been on duty at the entrance of the meeting hall since the early morning, and heard all the conversations inside outside the door. In addition to the daily routine state affairs and the situation of neighboring countries, they also heard today that the queen's bedroom has moved into a servant. This is a boring duty in the morning. The most unexpected thing I've heard.
This slender girl said that she lives in the Amon Palace, so she is the... sleeper.
"Can you let me in, I have something urgent to see the king." She begged again, her eyes lingering eagerly on the two guards.
Not sure whether to let her in... If they don't let her go, if there is an emergency, they will offend the servant, and she will blow in Tusasita's ear, and their lives will be blown away.Let it go, if Tusasita blames it, they can't afford it.
Forget it, it's all wrong inside and out, it's better to gamble once.
The guard nodded to her, and raised his hand to signal Xia Yuebai to go in.
"Thank you." She thanked them with a smile, and before she could take a look at the surprised face of the guard, she had already pulled her skirt and stepped through the door.
The meeting room is obviously much cooler than the outside. The well-ventilated floor-to-ceiling windows introduce cool wind from the shade of the trees. The most peculiar way to cool down is the water curtain wall in front of the window... A drainage curtain falls from the joint between the roof and the wall. The water curtain reflects the light in the room, crystal clear like a wall made of crystal.The thin water curtain falls into a half-meter-wide tank on the ground, and the water flow is guided into a small hole on the side of the wall, and then disappears outside the wall.Then, after passing through the circulation system of the waterwheel, it falls from the roof again. After a day of back and forth use, clean and fresh river water will be transported from the Nile the next day.
This refrigeration method is a bit like the principle of air conditioning, but it is much simpler than air conditioning, and it is very environmentally friendly. It only needs wind to drive the waterwheel.
The cool wind came through the water curtain wall, blowing away the shortness of breath from her lips. Xia Yuebai walked towards the middle of the meeting room. There were several rows of men in Egyptian costumes standing in front of her. People with robes and soft shoes and short robes People with swords, civil and military officials in different costumes.
Through the shadowy gap, a familiar figure was vaguely seen. Tusasita was leaning on the throne in a cloak,
