Chapter 340 The Princess Who Refused to Get Married 8
Realizing that the little princess had noticed him, Meneptah smiled at her, and suddenly all kinds of amorous feelings came over her face.
Xining couldn't help but take another look, and then turned his eyes. No wonder the fourth prince would have the most illegitimate children in the future. Many nobles and rich men's wives and daughters were fascinated by him, and finally reached out to his eldest brother's palace.
After looking at the princesses, there were six in total. If I remembered correctly, there should be three more who had not come due to physical reasons. Pharaoh Nakhat was still very diligent in creating humans, but you should know that there were more who died and were stillborn.
The four princes are the smartest, the luckiest, and the ones with the most powerful mothers and concubines, so they can stay. The others will fight to the death even if they are not ill. The mothers and concubines of the three princes also seem to have reached a certain relationship.
If they don't kill each other's sons, they will kill other concubines. In the past few years, no new babies have been born.
Now it's the princesses' turn to be eliminated, and they will die if they are not careful.
Xi Ning sighed slightly, this is palace fighting, this is the charm of the throne. It happens everywhere, no matter what dynasty or where.
The princess and the prince are all about the same age, so they have already been taught quite a lot. The teacher breaks down a few complicated words and explains them, then announces a short break. Before teaching the next lesson of other languages, the students can rest and digest.
The content of this lesson.
The prince picked up the paper made of papyrus stems, on which was drawn the hieroglyphics he just taught: "Eleventh sister, can you write this character?"
Xining shook his head slightly: "I can only understand ordinary characters."
According to the memory of the body owner, she only learned common syllables used to record letters and other common syllables. And this special picture-like text can be taken apart to represent a story. Most of the stories are related to
It is related to religion and is used to paint on the walls of temples and mausoleums.
The prince smiled warmly, explained it again, and then comforted: "Eleventh sister is not a priestess, it is enough that she can read the syllables."
Priestess? Xining smiled bitterly. Here, both priests and priestesses can get married outside the temple. Only if she swears to become a saint and devotes herself to the goddess Isis can she remain pure. But the royal family will never
Asking her to become a saint or a priestess would be detrimental to her noble status. Because the status of the royal family is higher than that of the priests, where can gods be worshiped? Unless the royal family who committed serious crimes was demoted to be a priest and imprisoned in
Inside the temple.
Now the prince and pharaoh's current expectation for the owner is to live!
The next two lessons are about the languages and writing of neighboring countries, because these countries often need to fight wars. Fortunately, this task is not too late, and there is still some time before being ruled. Otherwise, as the last queen, she and her second commander-in-chief will have a legendary life.
, and finally committed suicide with a poisonous snake.
When it was almost noon, the morning class was over. The hot afternoon was the rest time, and in the evening, the princes had to take advantage of the heat to subside to learn the martial arts of riding and archery.
"Eleventh sister, will you come again tomorrow?" Looking at the already sleepy little princess, the prince asked distressedly.
"It depends on the situation. Thank you for your concern, His Royal Highness." Xining was lying on the sedan chair, feeling like he couldn't even lift his eyelids.
Du Ya immediately ordered the slaves carrying the sedan to leave.
Back at the palace, Du Ya simply carried her to the bed.
Xi Ning felt like crying but had no tears. She originally thought that the discarded Five Spiritual Roots were the worst, but she didn’t expect that her current body could maintain breathing, which is what everyone expected.
I have so few clothes that I can easily pick them off, and my body is so weak that I can easily push them. What can I do with my sickly body?
No, you need to exercise. Not only do you need to arm your brain with knowledge, but you also need to have a healthy body.
In the evening, when the sun set and the sun was not so hot, Xining asked a sedan to carry her to the martial arts training ground.
Not only the teachers, but also the princes came over. When they heard that the little princess wanted to learn martial arts, even the fourth prince, who had always wanted to avoid suspicion, couldn't help but be curious.
When the little princess, who had been lying down all afternoon and drank half a bowl of goat's milk, was helped out of the sedan chair by the maid and came over, the teacher was sweating. With such a small body that could be knocked over by the wind, it was too difficult!
The teacher in charge of primary education tried to ask: "What do you want to learn, Your Highness the Princess? A stick, a javelin, a sword, or archery?"
Xining thought for a while: "Let's learn archery first." Archery is available in many places. It is one of the conventional weapons. Once you learn it, you can also use it in other tasks.
So the teacher asked someone to bring the smallest bow and arrows.
Bows are also divided into different sizes. Only a few people in the entire kingdom can draw the largest bow, while the smallest bow is only used by young children.
Xining picked up the bow with one hand, put the arrow on the bow with the other hand, and pulled it open little by little.
The teacher taught nervously: "Okay, okay, that's right, just like this, Your Highness, cum out!"
The arrow shot out...and landed lightly less than one meter away.
This is a bow for a four-year-old child to learn for the first time! It's like this. It can't even kill a bird. If you stand there, the arrowhead can't even scratch the oily skin.
"Pfft~" the fourth prince couldn't help laughing. The third prince lowered his head and tried his best to smile, while the second prince just laughed.
The prince glared at the second prince, then comforted the little princess who was panting and looking obviously unhappy: "Eleventh sister shot very well, and the arrow went out. Many people can't shoot the arrow when they first learn.
"
With a body like this and arms as thin as twigs, he probably couldn't even lift an ordinary warhammer, let alone fight with a curved sword and shield.
Xining helplessly looked at the target three meters away. This should be the shortest distance. Maybe after half a year of practice, he could hit it.
Heavy weapons are not enough, light weapons that are not commonly used, three stabs and one stab require speed. The wind can blow your body down. Can you regulate your breathing evenly when you fight? Don't faint again.
The prince thought for a while, then took off a gold dagger with a sheath and a handle inlaid with gems from his belt, and handed it over: "Eleventh sister, this is a gift from my father, and I give it to you now."
Everyone was surprised. This was a treasure. The prince wanted to give it to the prince and his wife.
Xining took it and frowned slightly: "Brother, I still don't want it."
"What's wrong?" The prince was very surprised. The gold dagger was luxurious and compact: "This blade is forged from meteorites and can cut iron like mud. As long as you are strong enough, it can cut off the head of a wild boar."
"No!" Xining said with a bitter face: "It's too heavy."
It is almost entirely made of gold. Although this dagger is small, it is very heavy. It feels extremely heavy when holding it in both hands, let alone wielding it.
The prince reluctantly took the dagger from the little princess's hand, and saw that the dagger had left the little princess's hand, and her hands were still floating up.
No one could bear it anymore. The martial arts teachers turned their heads to prevent others from showing their smiles. The prince couldn't even laugh or cry.
Chapter completed!
