After returning to Egypt, Margot resumed her original comfortable life. As soon as Ramses came back, he was busy dealing with the backlog of political affairs. It had been more than ten days since he came back, and she hadn't seen him. And the people in the palace also began to prepare for the upcoming Cat God Best Festival.
Before the arrival of the Cat God Best Festival, Margo basically stayed in the temple during the day. The temple has many more slaves these days to engrave the scene of the Battle of Kadesh, although this battle was barely fought. It was a tie, but Ramses' imperial arrogance made him not allow anyone to doubt the victory of this battle, and ordered people to paint the fierce scenes of the battle on the wall of the temple with great fanfare for future generations to admire.
On the day when the Best Festival came, no matter in the palace or in the city, no matter whether it was a prince or aristocrat or a commoner slave, they all reveled all night during the festival and drank to their heart's content. sum.
Naturally, Ramses also held a large banquet in the palace and invited his courtiers and nobles.
After grooming and dressing up, Margot is also preparing to attend this banquet. Thinking of what Ramses said before, her steps were extra heavy.
Just as she was passing the garden, she suddenly saw two figures standing under the fig tree not far away. Upon closer inspection, she turned out to be Ramses and Asher. The two of them didn't know what they were talking about, and their expressions seemed to be extraordinarily dignified. She became curious for a moment, and walked over quietly, wanting to hear what they were discussing.
"My lord, the criminal evidence has been collected almost. When the last criminal evidence is found, that person will absolutely not be able to deny it..."
"Well done, Asher, don't startle the snake. By the way, there is another thing, are you already doing it?"
Mag pricked up her ears, evidence? Whose evidence? The instigator that Ramses mentioned before? Just when she was full of doubts, she heard Ramses' voice again: "Also, how is the matter of making Nefertari my queen?"
"King, everything is ready. As long as you use this method, no one will raise any objections to you making Nefertari queen..."
Margot didn't hear the words behind, but felt a buzzing in her ears, what did he just say? Linifitari as queen? Who is Nefertari? Ramses is going to marry the queen... For a moment, she unconsciously squeezed the cold stone pillar beside her, and the tingling sensation flowed from her fingertips to her heart, strand by strand, bit by bit, entangled with her chaotic thoughts, as if frozen Sadness, freezing time, freezing everything, the feeling of heartache overwhelming in an instant, she covered her chest, not knowing why she had such a strong reaction... She didn't want to listen to anything anymore, the only thing she wanted to do That is—run away from here as if nothing had happened.
The banquet celebrating the Best Day was more lively than she had imagined. Margo always had a smile on her face.
"Margo, what's wrong with you? Don't drink too much." Turner reminded her worriedly.
"It's okay, Turner, I won't get drunk." She kept that smile. "I'm just happy."
When Ramses came in, he happened to see the two people seeming to be intimate again, and couldn't help but burst into another burst of anger, and unceremoniously brought Marge to his side. Seeing that she was drowsy, she was even more annoyed.
"Wang, she seems to be drunk..." Asher showed a helpless look.
Ramses looked at the girl beside him angrily and amusedly, and had no choice but to hug her up, "I'll send her back to the room first, she can't go on like this."
"I don't need you to send me, I can walk by myself..." Margot still had some consciousness, pushing hard on his chest.
He raised the corner of his mouth, ignored her, and strode towards the room with her in his arms.
Once in the room, Ramses put her on the bed, did nothing but looked at her quietly.
"You go out." As soon as Margot touched the soft bed, she immediately gave the order to evict the guest. She only felt that her head was getting heavier and heavier. Although she knew that she had been drinking poorly, she didn't want to act in front of him. Disgraceful move.
"Tell me, will you stay in Egypt?" he asked suddenly.
"No..." She supported her forehead, and said these two words clearly. When she thought of what she had overheard before, her heart throbbed again for no reason.
"You don't like me?" There was anger in his voice.
"I... yes. I must go back." As soon as the words fell, Margot saw him sitting on her bed without any politeness.
He stared at her firmly, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes: "Tell me, Margot, where is your country, and I will bring all your family members. I will definitely treat them well."
Hearing what he said, she felt even more angry in her heart. This man, while he was in the process of setting up a queen, asked her to stay forever. What should he do for her? a plaything? unacceptable!
"I'm going back, I'll never stay here, never stay in Egypt, never!" she cried with all her might.
"No, I don't allow you to go back!" His expression also became agitated, and he kissed her lips involuntarily. The smell of wine in his mouth spread between her lips and teeth, and her head seemed to be getting more and more dizzy... "When you walked past me lightly, you took my heart away." He suddenly whispered in her ear.
The words were so sweet, her heart suddenly felt sour, and she pushed him away: "Go away, the woman you like is not me!"
He seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and suddenly he smiled happily: "Are you jealous? Margot? Didn't I already give those concubines to Asher?"
"I'm not jealous! I won't be jealous of you either!" She glared at him.
He seemed to be in a good mood: "Although I don't know what kind of inexplicable jealousy you have, but I want to tell you, Margot, I love you, and my love for you is unique."
My love for you is unique...
Her heart trembled violently, she turned her head and couldn't help but said, "The woman you love most must not be me."
He was stunned at first, then laughed again, nodded her forehead and said: "What are you thinking about in your little head, I have never said these things to other women." He suddenly took out the same thing from his arms Something clasped onto her wrist involuntarily. "This bracelet is specially made for you." Margot lowered her head, only to find that a beautifully carved gold bracelet inlaid with malachite had been worn on her wrist. Fastened to the wrist. She couldn't help being a little stunned, she raised her head, and met his deep and gentle eyes.
"It's very suitable, just enough to cover your scars." Ramses gently raised her hand, lowered her head and covered her lips. The warm and soft lips stayed on the back of her hand for a long time, and his thick black eyelashes trembled slightly, blocking the expression in his eyes.
Her heart seemed to be soaked in mellow wine, and the blur was a little bit intoxicating. Ramses, is there such a gentle and careful time
Ramses pinched her nose again, "By the way, I have prepared a special gift for you, I believe you will like it very much when you see it."
Mag stared into his eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"My little girl, this is the first time I've said these words. I only want you now." His black eyes were getting deeper and deeper, and he slowly moved his face closer to her.
She wanted to say Nefertari's name several times, but the words that came to her lips again and again were like a receding tide, drowning her voice. So she chose to remain silent, but she felt a little bit bitter in her heart, what happened to her.
"I want to rest, I want to sleep. You go out..." she whispered.
He seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but he still stood up, bent down and kissed her gently on the cheek, and said softly: "Okay, I'll let you have a good rest and come see you tomorrow, you are so cute today , if you weren't so drunk, I really want to take you just like that."
Her heart trembled, she hurriedly closed her eyes, and stopped talking.
She didn't open her eyes until she heard the sound of him closing the door. She couldn't miss the warmth of Ramses, but every life in this world bears its own destiny. He has what he wants, and she There are things she has to accomplish, getting together or parting, possessing or losing, are just ordinary things that must be experienced in life.
What's more, he already has someone who can accompany him for the rest of his life.
She also... can only comfort herself like this, as if this is the only way to make her feel better and more free and easy.
Before dawn the next day, the door of Margot's room was unceremoniously pushed open. Margot, who was still in a light sleep, only felt in a daze that someone dragged her from the bed. The strength of his hands and such a rude way made her sober up a lot. In this place, who else is there besides Ramses!
"Rameses, don't go too far!" She shook off his hand vigorously, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Ramses had a smile on his lips, but without answering, he threw a cloak on her, took her hand and dragged it out.
"Hey, what are you up to!
"Don't make noise, I'll take you out of the palace!"
Margot sighed again helplessly, and had no choice but to let this domineering guy lead her out of the palace.
When Ramses took her down from the horse, Margot saw everything in front of her eyes clearly. A round of morning sun was rising from the sky, and in an instant, it radiated a ray of light, reflecting on the long and winding Nile River. , as if the bright gold has been sprinkled all over the sky, and the emerald green Nile water is sparkling, making people want to reach out and touch it.
Faintly sang people's voices from the banks of the papyrus-covered river:
Nile, my mother,
Bring me the prosperous land of Egypt,
Bring me boundless vitality to the territory,
I am here to praise you, I am here to pray to you,
Let me Egypt live forever...
The beautiful singing made Margo show a faint smile. She walked to the Nile River and scooped up a handful of water. The clear and transparent river water shone brightly in the sun, as if it was tempting her. Margot couldn't help but bowed her head and took a sip, feeling the indescribable sweetness refreshing.
Ramses also came to her side at some point, held her hand, bent down, and took a sip of water directly from her hand.
Her face turned red immediately, and she wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held it tighter.
"Do you know, Margo, whoever drinks the water of the Nile, no matter how far he leaves Egypt, will return to Egypt again." His bright smile shone in the sun, "However, I will not let you leave Egypt. "
Her mood suddenly became gloomy, and she only felt that something was blocking her in a panic.
One day in the future, will she... go back to Egypt? can you
