Chapter 385 The Di-princess Who Refuses to Get Married 53
Well, you can’t expect a dark and unreliable system, you just have to roll up your sleeves and work hard!
The one who works harder than her is the 24-filial dad. Pharaoh Nakhat is not idle at all. Following the Pharaoh's fine tradition of planting extensively and harvesting little, he stays overnight every three or four days. Unexpectedly, in this era, he knows when a woman is most suitable for pregnancy.
The responsible officials there would wait until the Pharaoh wanted someone to serve him, and would select all the concubines most suitable for conception for the Pharaoh.
In the past, due to the obstruction of the queen and other concubines, many low-ranking concubines did not dare to get pregnant. It took a year and a half before there was any news of concubines becoming pregnant. But now, at least one or two concubines are pregnant every month, and sometimes four are pregnant at most.
This made Nakhat completely ashamed and proud.
Xining leaned on the big pillow and watched the officials carrying the sand tray to show her the appearance of the new nursing home and her bedroom.
"Eleventh sister, eleventh sister!" Before the second prince arrived, the voice had already spread from outside to inside.
The second prince came in by running.
When Du Ya saw it, she immediately asked all the maids to get ready. Since the second prince was here, the other princes were also about to go back and forth.
The second prince sat next to her as soon as he grunted.
Xining smiled at him: "I haven't seen you for three months, and my second brother seems to have grown a lot taller." He is indeed taller, and he has tanned a lot.
The second prince straightened his chest, which was beginning to become stronger: "Of course, I will be the tallest and strongest from now on."
"Yes, second brother will definitely be so in the future." Xining smiled.
He was indeed very strong. He had the highest martial arts skills and the strongest strength among all the princes. Only Akhenaten could beat the second prince.
That was when the second prince knew that the third prince had slept with the body master, and ran over with his soldiers. He didn't find the third prince who had escaped and disappeared. So he went to the body master's palace, and without saying a word, he hugged the body master and got into the chariot.
, the land was sealed all the way. The eldest brother, who was already the pharaoh, led the troops to snatch back the owner of the body.
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 lowered.
Poor baby, his mother's low status made even the petty officials in the palace dare to look down on him. This made his psychology distorted and dark, and suddenly exploded at a certain point in time, causing him to desperately take possession of the eleventh sister who would become the queen.
Xining sat up and patted the empty seat next to him: "Third brother, come and sit."
The third prince, who originally planned to sit elsewhere, suddenly lit up his eyes and hesitated for a moment.
The second prince had already taken the handkerchief and started wiping his sweat. He said carelessly: "What are you doing standing still? Sit down quickly. After wiping your sweat, you can eat honeydew melon."
The third prince raised his lips and sat next to the eleventh princess, unable to conceal his excitement.
Xi Ning could clearly see that the second prince was brave and foolhardy, and did everything based on his own preferences. He would do something against him if he felt unhappy, but at this time, he had no other thoughts.
At this time, Akhenaten had not yet entered the room, but a guard came in.
After the guard saluted, he said that Akhenaten had returned and ordered him to bring some gifts.
Duya carefully brought the gifts over, and Xining took a look at them. The gifts on the tray were all obtained along the way, including small ornaments and local homespun cloth. The ornaments were not expensive, and they were all agate, turquoise, crystal beads and the like.
.Homespun cloth is different from the linen and cotton we usually wear. It is a bit coarse, but it is colorful and very dazzling.
The local dyes are expensive and fade easily. Once you sweat, the color will stick to your body along with the sweat. Even the pharaoh with the most noble status and the most money is willing to work hard on decorations.
It seems that Akhenaten has grown up a lot. He knows how to avoid suspicion and ask people to give gifts to report that he is safe. Anyway, there are so many eyes in the palace. If you give something, someone will know it immediately, so you just give it in front of him.
Xining nodded, ordered Duya to accept it, and asked someone to prepare a piece of fruit and send it to Akhenaten.
The second prince was already eating the honeydew melon and muttered: "Akhenaton is still thoughtful. Next time I go out, I will definitely bring a gift to the eleventh sister."
The third prince just lowered his head to eat and said nothing.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Xining picked up a bunch of grapes and ate them slowly: "As long as you all come back safely."
All the princes who went out to collect taxes came back to attend this grand banquet.
Xining signaled to the officials and continued.
So the officials followed the sand table and continued to speak.
After the official finished speaking, the second prince also killed a whole honeydew melon, wiped his hands and mouth: "Want to expand?"
"Yes! There is not enough space." Xining said calmly: "Help me see where there are shortcomings."
"Where do I know these things! Since we are going to build a building, we should simply build a big one." The second prince asked curiously: "How many of them are pregnant now?"
Xining helplessly replied: "Eleven!"
"Ah?" The second prince suddenly cried out: "Is your father so powerful?"
Nakhat happened to bring the prince and the fourth prince over and heard it at the door.
"Hmm!" Nakhat cleared his throat a little awkwardly. From the corner of his eye, he saw his two sons beside him smiling with their lips pursed. His old face was a little red. But having so many children proved that he was still young, so he couldn't help but feel quite proud.
After Nakhat entered, he spared everyone's courtesy and looked at the new nursing home on the sand table. It was more than twice the size of the original one. But he still asked with concern: "Is it okay? Is it enough? Is it enough?"
Does it need to be bigger?”
Xining smiled: "Whether it is enough depends on how many pregnant concubines there are. You have to ask the father."
Everyone laughed immediately, and Nakhat couldn't help laughing after giving him a reproachful look.
Xining thought for a while, stood up, walked to the sand table and looked around: "Her 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 used to accompany the speech.
Xining pointed at a place next to him and poked it with a wooden stick. Then he used the stick as a pen to draw the garden next to it: "This is pretty much it."
The official was stunned: "This garden belongs to the queen." As the queen's private garden, there are trees, flowers, and rare animals sent from various countries.
Xining threw the wooden 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. The queen should make some sacrifices for the sake of the royal family's heirs, let alone a garden.
"
Turning to the Pharaoh, she showed off her little daughter's coquettishness: "Father, do you think so?"
Nakhat looked at his little daughter's smiling face and nodded without thinking: "Yes!"
Xining raised his eyebrows at the officials and looked directly at them: "Send people to build the wall today!"
Now the eleventh princess is at the peak of her powers, and the queen is under house arrest in the palace, with no need for the garden for a while... The officials immediately nodded in agreement, turned around and ordered people to build walls. Now the nursery is not only twice as big, but more than three times as big.
