Chapter 360 The Princess who refused to marry 29
Nobles learn from the royal family and can do whatever they want inside the curtain. Even if you pick your ears and nose or something, the people outside will not be able to see clearly. But inside the curtain, the game outside can be seen through the light.
Nakhat was very proud. Good things happened one after another in the past two days, and everything went smoothly. He couldn't help but look sideways at the little princess sitting at the head of the princess.
The little princess was leaning on her body miserably, not having the energy to watch such exciting competitions outside... It's just that her health was a little bad, otherwise she would be suitable to be the crown prince and concubine.
Look at the current crown prince and concubine. She has a face that looks exactly like the queen, and even her expressions are exactly the same. She looks like someone owes them money. The more she looks at her, the more bored she becomes. It would be better to sit on the other side of the prince, the concubine Tenafil, with a rosy face, a smile on her lips, and looking at the prince affectionately from time to time.
Thinking about it, the prince was also quite fond of the side concubine. From time to time, he would talk and laugh with the side concubine, but every time before talking, he would say a few perfunctory words to the main concubine, which was regarded as taking him seriously. The main concubine ignored him, while the concubine responded with a few words. If she had something to say, she could make the prince laugh.
Yes, he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Thinking about it, it almost broke, but luckily the little princess was saved. Otherwise, it would be a pity to lose such a big daughter.
Nakhat turned his head and looked at the concubine's mother-in-law. He saw that his daughter was so happy after marrying the prince. As a mother, there was no way she would be unhappy. Smiling at Nakhat, that charm is still there. It seems that Nakhat is a little tempted, why not come to her palace tonight.
Not only was Xining's mind not focused on the competition outside, she also saw what Nakhat saw.
Akhenaten was placed at the end of the princes and watched their games intently. For him who has just started practicing martial arts, this is the best opportunity to observe.
In addition to meeting the opponent in chess, the competition takes a longer time. Generally speaking, the winner can be determined in one or two minutes. After half a day passed, the semi-finals ended, and half of the people, about seventy people, won.
After the curtain was removed, the Pharaoh and the Queen got into the sedan chair first. Then came the prince and his family, followed by the princess and princes.
The royal family left the temple with everyone kneeling down.
Although there were reeds, big feathers, and umbrellas made of cloth and cowhide to protect her along the way, Xi Ning still felt like she was about to faint.
When I returned to the palace, the first thing I did was to quickly drink water, wipe myself, and change clothes.
Nakhat only knew that she was not well, so he came over the next day.
Looking at the pharaoh who was munching melons, with a rosy face and no less than five kilograms of jewelry all over his body, I really envy him for having a good body. I heard that last night I went to the palace of the crown prince’s concubine and stayed there until dawn.
After eating a whole honeydew melon, Pharaoh wiped his hands with satisfaction, leaned on the mat, and asked how to play next.
"No matter what, I'm exhausted." Xining said leisurely: "All of them will go to military training. The outstanding ones will be given to me, and the rest will belong to my father."
"Huh?" Nakhat was stunned for a moment, then relieved: "There are more than seventy people, you have to go to twenty, and the remaining fifty expansion guards are fine."
"Wrong!" Xining smiled: "Not half, but all of them... After the military training, I want twenty, and my father will choose the ones to keep. The rest will compete with the guards in the palace. , those who lose will be sent to the army or sent to work abroad. From now on, such assessments will be held once every one or two years.”
Nakhat stared at the kohl-lined eyes, and it took him a while to realize that the little princess was not only looking at twenty people, but also taking into account his bodyguards and the entire army.
This is different from a major blood exchange. This is for those who are capable and are sent out. If they want to come back, they will work harder in the future. And there must be many people among the people from the palace and the army who can become informants. After a few days, all those who entered the semi-finals were sent to a month-long military training.
Half a month later, on a relatively pleasant day, Nakhat took the prince and the little princess over for inspection.
After passing by, Pharaoh was in a daze. The military training was organized for the little princess. I originally thought that if the little princess gave an oral order, the officers would follow the regular military training, but I didn’t expect it to be like this...
"Climb, hurry up, hurry up..." There are several wooden boards of different heights on the side, the highest is two meters. A group of people wearing kilts worn on the battlefield were climbing over the boards. I guess I knew the little princess was coming. Fortunately, the skirt was wrapped in a cloth, otherwise it would have been difficult to look straight at her when she climbed over the wall.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry..." The officer on the other side was also urging with a whip. Three people were carrying a log, and dozens of people were running barefoot on the hot sand.
"One, three, two, five, it's five, it's wrong again, you idiots..." On the other side are the formation drills, 12 people, sometimes forming a triangle formation, sometimes forming a square, and the better teams have already He will pick up a shield and stand in front of him to strengthen his combat capabilities.
The highest-ranking officers knelt there, not daring to move... They did exactly what the little princess asked, and hoped that the pharaoh would not be angry with them when he saw it.
Military training is just about lining up and fighting. What are these? Just like that rising country fed by wolves, they have formations.
I heard "Eleven, Fifteen" being shouted. Why are there so many formations?
This is different from previous military training. Nakhart turned his head and asked: "Daughter, this...how do you think the training went?"
Xining nodded: "Yes, I trained according to the military method for five days before, but my daughter felt that the effect was not good. After twenty days of training, they all went to the Pharaoh's tomb to carry stones for five days and let them do slave work. During this period, Anyone can quit. Once a person quits, they will no longer be hired.”
"Why do you have to carry rocks?" Nakhat was stunned: "Slaves and craftsmen are enough."
The construction of mausoleums was divided into craftsmen, civilians and slaves. Slaves were treated the worst, while civilians served as corvees and received gold as wages. Common people are proud of building tombs for pharaohs, unless the pharaoh has no money.
"Without comparison, you don't know how comfortable your life is. It's up to them to choose whether they want to make contributions or make mistakes and become slaves." Xining is still quite satisfied with the current results. These are all brought from modern military training. When she was a special forces soldier, she almost vomited blood during training.
Thinking of this, she had another idea: "This military training will be shortened by three days."
Anyone who hears it will definitely feel happy. It shortens three days, which is great!
Afterwards, those who participated in the military training were indeed happy. The next words were: "In three days, go to the mass grave to bury the corpses!"
ah?
The corpses of royal families and nobles were mummified by priests. The rich people find ordinary priests in the village to make mummies. The common people directly bury the corpses in the desert, take them out and wrap them in linen after three months. The poor people and slaves were thrown into mass graves without being buried, and they were left to be eaten by birds and beasts.
When they entered the mass grave filled with bones and uneaten corpses, half of the people vomited.
