Chapter 339 The Princess who refused to marry 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 gaze. No wonder the fourth prince would have the most illegitimate children in the future. Many wives and daughters of nobles and wealthy men 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 didn't come due to health reasons. Pharaoh Nakhat still worked diligently to create humans, knowing that many more died and were stillborn.
The four princes are the smartest, the luckiest, and the most powerful mother and concubine, so they can stay, and the others will fight to the death regardless of illness. The mothers and concubines of the three princes seemed to have reached a certain relationship. If they couldn't kill each other's sons, they would kill other concubines. There had been no new babies born in the past few years.
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 is everywhere, no matter what dynasty or where.
The princess and prince are all about the same age, so they have already been taught quite a lot. The teacher broke down a few complicated words, explained them, and then announced a short break. Before teaching the next lesson of other languages, 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 body owner's memory, she only learned common syllables used to record letters and other such things. This kind of special picture-like text can be taken apart to represent a story. Most of the stories are related to religion and are used to be painted on the walls of temples and tombs.
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? Xi Ning smiled bitterly. Here, priests and priestesses can get married outside the temple. She could only remain pure unless she vowed to become a saint and devote herself wholeheartedly to the goddess Isis. But the royal family will never let her become a saint, and becoming a priestess will undermine her noble status. Because the status of the royal family is higher than that of the priests, no one can worship the gods unless they are members of the royal family who have committed serious crimes and are demoted to be priests and imprisoned in temples.
Now the current expectation of the prince and pharaoh for the body owner is-just stay alive!
The next two lessons are about the languages and writing of neighboring countries, because these countries often need to fight wars. Fortunately, this mission is not too late, and there is still some time before she is ruled. Otherwise, as the last queen, she would stage a legendary life with her second commander, and finally commit suicide with a poisonous snake.
When it was almost noon, the morning class was over. The hot afternoon was a time for rest, and in the evening, the princes took advantage of the heat to subside to learn the art 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, feeling like he couldn't even lift his eyelids.
Du Ya immediately ordered the slaves carrying the sedan to leave.
Back in the palace, Du Ya simply carried her to the bed.
Xi Ning was about to cry but had no tears. She originally thought that the useless Five Spiritual Roots were the worst, but she didn’t expect that her current body could maintain breathing as expected.
She has so few clothes that it’s easy to pick them off, and she’s in such bad shape that it’s easy to push them around. What can I do with this sick body?
No, you have to exercise. It is not only necessary to arm the brain with knowledge, but also to have a healthy body.
In the evening, when the sun was setting 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 he 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 by the maid and came over, the teacher was sweating. With such a small body that could even be blown over by the wind, it was too difficult!
The teacher in charge of primary education tried to ask: "What does Your Highness want to learn, a stick, a javelin, a sword, or archery?" Xining thought for a while: "Let's learn archery first." Archery is available in many places, and it is one of the conventional weapons. , you can also use it in other tasks after you learn it.
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, Princess, 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! Just like this, you probably can't even shoot a bird to death. The person stood there, and the arrowhead could not 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 hold an ordinary war hammer, 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, but light weapons that are not commonly used. Three thorns and one thorn require speed. This body can be knocked down by the wind. 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: "Sister Eleven, this was given to me by my father, and now it is given to you."
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 anymore."
"What's wrong?" The prince was very surprised. The gold dagger was luxurious and compact: "This blade is forged from meteorites, cutting iron like mud. As long as you are strong enough, you can cut off the head of a wild boar."
"No!" Xining said with a bitter face: "It's too heavy."
Almost entirely made of gold, this dagger may be small but very substantial. It feels extremely heavy when held in both hands, let alone wielded.
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 didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Hahaha~" The second prince almost stopped laughing, and sat on the ground holding his stomach: "Eleventh sister is still the most powerful, I give up."
