Chapter 386 The Princess Who Refuses to Marry 55


Chapter 386 The Princess Who Refuses to Marry 55

The queen is under house arrest, and the crown prince's main concubine is temporarily vacant. This banquet can only be hosted by the crown prince first.

Fortunately, the prince is in charge, so everything is under his control, especially the food, which is very strict.

Xi Ning took out all the preventive measures that kings knew to prevent poisoning. Silver cannot detect all poisons, but it can detect most of them. Ask people to use silver to refine more than a dozen silver needles. Before each dish is served, it is poked at the door and then asked to take a bite.

In fact, this mouthful is nothing. Many poisons in this era are not as red as the top of a crane, and the blood seals the throat. In the previous plot, the poisoning reaction occurred an hour after the Pharaoh finished his meal. If the estimate is correct, it should be a chronic poison that corrodes the intestines and stomach, which is why Nakhat vomited blood and was in extreme pain before his death.

But we still let people taste the food. The purpose is to let people see that they have done a very strict security job this time.

All the guards were on duty, constantly inspecting the cooks. Even if it was flour, they would be given to the birds to eat, and they would only start baking after making sure there was no problem.

The queen was under house arrest and announced that she was ill, so she did not attend the banquet. Yu Xining sat next to Nakhat, while the prince sat on the other side.

Before the banquet began, several slaves dragged in several coffins, containing mummies brought from mass graves.

And an official with a eloquent voice and a loud voice began to speak like poetry, which meant: look at these mummies, don't let the good times pass by in life, eat more and be happy at today's banquet.

Xi Ning was not used to this custom at first, so he would take the corpse for a walk before eating. This is a mummy, not to mention a bit scary. Some viruses still exist even if the body is dried, so it is not unhygienic.

It is said that rich people will do the same thing before eating. Not only does it not feel spooky, but it is a very honorable thing and can liven up the atmosphere before the meal. Uh...

After walking around the mummy, various foods were served by the maids amid singing and dancing. This is a bit like a buffet like a flowing table. The food is sent down by the maids according to their status. The plate with food went to the Pharaoh first, then to the next table. If there is still something left after taking one round, the maid will continue to carry it around until three rounds. If no one wants it anymore, take it down and put it together for the slave to eat later.

There were priestesses and kabuki dancers, and although they were all wearing very little clothes, it was easy to tell them apart, just the jewelry on their bodies.

Akhenaten, who was sitting at the last seat among the princes and at the same table as Ibudu, turned his head and looked at the first seat. Princess Eleven can no longer be called a little princess. In the past few months, Pharaoh had four more little princesses, two of whom had died in infancy, and the other two who were still alive could not become little princesses, because there were still several pregnant concubines who entered the nursery to give birth. The birth of Princess Yao Don't know how long it will take.

Princess Eleven wore a very simple red agate necklace and a bracelet of the same color on her wrist, which was given by him. I originally thought that the princess would give such a simple jewelry to the maid, but I didn't expect that the princess would like it.

Although Akhenaten's eyes were fixed on the singing and dancing before the banquet, he secretly glanced at the eleventh princess from time to time.

The prince was also happy. The eleventh princess's tiara was given by him. The dozen rings were worn on the ends of her hair braided into small braids. With just a slight swing, the rings would sway together, making it look playful. And special. But this jewelry...

The prince couldn't help but said: "Eleventh sister's jewelry is too simple. How about I get a set of emerald jewelry for Eleventh sister?" Like Queen, Isenofre, or even ordinary princesses and concubines, which one? Not everyone comes out eager to wear the most expensive and dazzling jewelry, armed from head to toe.

Look at Isenofre and Tenafil at the other table next to them. Even if Tenafil gave him a set of jewelry for the sake of his face, this set of jewelry is still not as gorgeous as Isenofri's. Xining responded: "Thank you, brother. It's just that I'm weak. I might not be able to sit even if I wear jewelry that's too heavy. This is good."

Nakhat looked sideways, picked up the food and said while eating: "This is indeed good, but it makes it special."

The palace is full of jewels, and both men and women wear no less than five kilograms of jewelry. The eleventh princess is so "simple" that it really makes her look special. But for such an eleventh princess, sitting in the chief position, with the pharaoh and the prince, no matter what she wears, her status is extremely noble.

Even Isenofre, who was also born as a legitimate princess and should have a higher status than the Eleventh Princess, sat on the side concubine's seat. It can be seen how much the pharaoh respected and doted on the Eleventh Princess.

The demotion of the crown prince and concubine also caused many people to discuss privately. Does the presence of the eleventh princess and the prince accompanying the pharaoh imply that the eleventh princess will be the crown prince's concubine in the future?

If the eleventh princess becomes the crown prince and concubine, those pregnant concubines and concubine princes and princesses will be blessed. Everyone knows that the eleventh princess who protects the royal bloodline will be favored by the goddess Isis and will almost become Isis in the world. spokesperson.

Look at Nakhat, his face is straight, but the corners of his mouth are slightly raised to show that he is in a happy mood. That must be the case!

Xi Ning didn't have that much time to consider what everyone else was thinking. She and the prince were guarding the Pharaoh, just to be on guard against anyone using poison on the Pharaoh.

Where can poison be used, where, where? Looking at the palace banquet filled with flowers, Xi Ning couldn't eat anything. He didn't know what was stuffed into his mouth, and he ate it like chewing wax.

Now all the raw materials are given to the animals one day in advance and there are no problems after they are eaten. After the food is prepared, it is repeatedly inspected with silver needles. It is possible for everyone to eat all the food. How about poisoning all the more than 300 people attending the banquet?

A plate of barbecue came up, and Nakhat picked the fattest looking piece.

Xining found that there was a piece of meat on her plate, which was brought to her by the prince.

The prince knew what she was worried about and said softly: "Don't worry about anything, I'm here!"

Xining quickly looked at Nakhat, worried that the Pharaoh would hear it. At this time, Nakhat was drinking wine, watching the juggling performance in front of him, and eating at the same time. He was completely unaware of the possible dangers. For him, the past few months had been so happy. Not counting the addition of children, the four grown-up sons were gradually showing their own abilities, and the four sons were still very good. Unity, how can it make him unhappy?

The prince picked up the knife next to him and helped her cut the meat into small strips.

She smiled, picked it up and started eating. I couldn't help but be moved in my heart, but of course the move didn't come from her. The prince was kind-hearted and grew up in the bloody storm in the palace. He had long been disgusted with the struggle between these relatives. But the guys who have their hands on his future queen are all his brothers. His kindness and hesitation put the owner in jail time and time again. It was precisely because of this kind of kindness that in the end, the prince, in his struggle, did not kill the second prince, but just put him under house arrest.

Xi Ning sighed slightly. After being exposed to this for more than a year, the princes were actually good boys. After obeying the body master, they played a good hand of cards to pieces?

At this time, someone is paying tribute again!
