Chapter 361 The Princess who refused to marry 30
Looking at the list, there were originally more than 150 people, but in the end there were more than 120 people left. Although the military training is very difficult, including exhuming and burying corpses and carrying stones to the mausoleum, no one wants to lose such an opportunity.
Nakhat handed the list to the officer in charge with satisfaction: "Let Princess Suritaramon choose first, and the rest will be distributed to the guard station and tax collectors according to the original plan." , how can you send the army to die?
The queen squinted with disdain: "Has your Majesty forgotten me?"
The ten guards she took away were given to Isenofre, and in this competition, more than twenty people from her place participated. As a result, she now only has a dozen guards on hand.
Nakhat was immediately very concerned: "The queen is right, I almost forgot about it. Give the queen the replaced guards and make up fifty of them!"
replace? It's been eliminated. A bunch of wine bags and rice bags were shoved into her place to make up the numbers. The queen's nose almost became crooked!
If you can’t talk about this, then let’s pick something else to talk about. The queen said angrily: "I heard that Suritaram's place is so lively. The three princes don't want to go back to the palace. They go there to eat every day, and even the prince ran away. You know, there is a nursing home next to it, and all the people living there are... His Majesty’s concubine.”
Nakhat stared: "What nonsense are you talking about! Even if they are my women, they are all pregnant. Is it possible that the prince in the belly will become someone else's?"
Such rough words bounced back the underlying meaning and made the queen stop.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen the little princess for two days, so I might as well go and see her. So he called the officials over, took the list, and went to the little princess together.
When Nakhat went to the little princess, he specifically asked the sedan to go to the nursery first.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I felt very lively. Slaves and maids were busy on the side of the yard. There are those who wash food, those who make food and drink, and those who dry flour and make bread. All food and clothing are in the courtyard. There are too many people and too many eyes to do anything.
As soon as they saw the Pharaoh coming, the five concubines came over with the support of their maids to say hello.
There were not three, so why were two more added at once? Only one month passed, and two more pregnant women were added to the list. Nakhat was stunned for a moment, and then he felt very proud of his beard.
Looking at the five of them, they were not as preoccupied as the concubines when they were pregnant before. Instead, each of them looked rosier than the other and had gained a lot of weight.
When the little princess was mentioned, everyone was in high spirits, full of praise, and smiled and thanked her.
Nakhat was comforted a little, and walked to the little princess's dormitory by himself without using the sedan chair.
As soon as he entered, he saw not only the four sons, but also Akhenaten. It’s almost meal time, chatting and laughing, waiting for dinner.
When several people saw the Pharaoh coming, they quickly stood up and saluted.
After Nakhat sat in the main seat, he looked at a group of children kneeling and saluting: "Get up, there are quite a lot of people here."
After Xining was helped up by Duya who came up, Nakhat looked to the side: "You just sit next to me, don't you blame me for joining in for a meal?"
"Father, I wish you could come." Xining walked to Pharaoh and sat down, and then said to Duya: "Go ahead and eat now."
Du Ya responded and then retreated.
Nakhat glanced at Amenhotep reproachfully: "As a prince, he doesn't eat in his palace. He stays with his princess and runs here every day. I heard that you almost eat three meals a day here? ”
Amenhotep smiled apologetically: "My father taught you that, I just came over after finishing my official duties. I will pay attention to it in the future!"
What happened to come over? Although the prince moved out to live after getting married, he was not far from the palace. It makes sense to have lunch here, breakfast and dinner are all here, what does it look like! Could it be that facing his two wives at home made him unable to eat?
Lunch was delivered, one dish per person, both meat and vegetables, nothing special. Then the maid brought a basket of bread and came to the Pharaoh first for him to choose.
Here, bread has been baked and eaten thousands of years ago. There are more than ten kinds of bread in civilian bread workshops outside, and there are thirty or forty kinds of bread in the palace. Pharaoh said directly: "Ask for it with milk and honey."
The maid immediately picked up a piece of bread with a golden fork and placed it on Pharaoh's plate.
Xining asked for one with milk and one with raisins.
When we arrived at the prince's place, the prince actually asked for eight different kinds of bread.
Nakhat squinted and asked, "A starving ghost reincarnated?" Although each piece of bread is not big, as a prince and a prince, you can't be reserved and wait until you finish eating.
"I want this, this, this, oh, I got it myself!" The second prince stood up, grabbed the bread in the basket with both hands, threw it onto his plate, and stuffed one into his mouth before he had time.
Nakhat…
The other princes also started with five or six.
Seeing that there were not many breads in the basket, only five were left, and Akhenaten kept all of them.
Xining ordered: "Go and bake again, or go to the nursery next door to get some."
We don't usually eat like this at palace banquets. Is it possible that these children are still growing and eat a lot, but before, they didn't dare to eat too much in front of me and everyone?
Nakhat thought as he picked up the bread and took a bite. After chewing a few mouthfuls, my eyes suddenly lit up and I started eating it in big gulps.
Unfortunately, the bread was small and was gone after four bites.
Seeing the princes eating voraciously, Nakhat regretted why he didn't take more just now.
Seeing a piece of raisin bread on the little princess's plate, she grabbed it.
"Father!" Xining stared and pursed his lips. In fact, she had known this would happen for a long time and acted coquettishly on purpose.
"Hmm~" Nakhat ate the bread and hurriedly defended: "Anyway, the bread will come back later, you can eat fresh ones."
It was gone again. Seeing that the little princess still had half a piece left in her hand, she grabbed it without shame, stuffed it into her mouth, and said her excuse again: "Anyway, the bread will be back later, you can eat it fresh." ”
What! Xi Ning couldn't laugh or cry. As expected, food is the most important thing for the people. If they encounter someone who stutters, they won't care about anything.
How could the bread be brought so quickly? The prince quickly stood up and took half of his own bread. As a result, the other princes also gave half of the bread, and Akhenaten took the bread with both hands respectfully after hesitating.
"Well, well, good!" Nuckhat ate the bread and chewed while talking: "I am very happy to have bread to eat with you. You can do this."
"That's also a good lesson from our father. We remember it every day and don't dare to forget it." The prince is old enough after all, and he can flatter him in a decent manner.
All the princes followed, but Akhenaten lowered his head respectfully and said nothing. After all, he is an adopted son and should be reticent in front of the prince.
Another basket of bread was brought, and it was all divided quickly.
Nakhat performed extremely well and ate ten of them in one go, which made him feel a little full. If the little princess hadn't given it to him alive or dead, he could have eaten another one.
