The Pharaoh’s Concubine

Chapter 7: temple

Views:

Early the next morning, Margo couldn't wait to come to the temple located in the east of Memphis.

Outside the temple, among the sphinxes protecting the temple, there are luxuriant willows. The huge and thick stone walls of the temple are dyed in warm tones, and the bronze on the gate is also shining with dazzling light.

Walking into the temple, the 100-meter-deep lobby is lined with more than a hundred giant columns, almost covering the entire space, leaving only the labyrinth of alleys intertwined between the columns. The rising sun is climbing through the tall tower gate, dyeing more than one hundred large lotus columns in the hall red, and projecting on the majestic temple. Gradually, the sunlight moved to the neatly arranged heads of sphinxes and rams, which were one of the incarnations of God Amon. Under each head of sphinxes and rams stood a little pharaoh, receiving the blessing of the gods. There are also pictures of pharaohs offering sacrifices to the gods painted on the pillars. The bright and dazzling colors of the pattern will only appear at a specific time, so only if you stay in it all year round, you can follow the shift of light and shadow, one pillar after another, one scene after another. Religious rituals that the world cannot see.

Looking up, she suddenly felt that she was so small. She suddenly understood why no matter whether it was the Babylonians, the Egyptians, or people from other countries, they built temples so exaggeratedly, because human beings who are prone to conceit can only fear the gods when they feel their own insignificance.

In the temple, she was assigned to do some simple clerical work and organize files, which was very easy. Priest Fekti, who is in charge of all affairs in the temple, doesn't seem to like Margot's arrival, and has always been extremely indifferent to her. She is not surprised by this situation, after all, she is just an intruder who came in by "relationship", and now she only hopes to complete the task as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible. After all, that's what she came to Egypt for.

Time passed by little by little. Taking advantage of the convenience of working in the temple, Mag also checked many places, but she never found such a thing. But my father clearly said that it must be in this temple, where will it be placed

"Margo? What are you in a daze for?" Asher's voice pulled her back from her wild thoughts.

"Ah? What? What did you just say?" She didn't hear what he said before.

"I'm asking if you're used to working in the temple." He handed over a pot of figs, "By the way, it seems like you haven't been to the palace for a long time, right?"

"Well, His Highness the Second Prince... Is he alright?" She pretended to ask casually.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is now much more cheerful than before, and he is very proactive. The king has also entrusted him with some things, and he has done better than I imagined." Asher's eyes flashed a hint of admiration color.

"Then isn't he very busy recently? But he has been staying indoors all year round, and his physique is not good. His body may not be able to bear it all at once, and his dental disease is easy to relapse..." She self-servingly listed the possible problems Sickness, did not notice the glint in Asher's eyes.

"But compared to other things, I'm afraid these things are nothing." Asher took a sip of wine leisurely, "Prince Turner recently sent many concubines to His Royal Highness Ramses, saying it was for his eyesight recovery Presents, he is busy now."

Concubine? For some reason, upon hearing these two words, Margot felt a little sour in her heart, and said angrily, "There are so many concubines, I think he will fall ill within two days..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the people in the palace suddenly rushed to spread the news, saying that His Royal Highness Ramses had a dental attack and asked Margot to enter the palace immediately.

Asher pursed his lips narrowly: "Margo, your crow's mouth is quite sharp."

"Don't make fun of me!" She sighed helplessly, and hurriedly followed the man into the palace. Is it really a good spirit but not a bad spirit? After being said by her, that guy actually has a dental problem

Before stepping into Ramses' room, she heard high and low female voices coming from the room, as well as different strong fragrances floating in the air, which made her uncontrollably sneezed several times.

Oh My God! She sighed with a headache, why are there so many beauties in the room at this time!

"Hey! Let it go! Let it go!" Ramses' bed was surrounded by three floors and three floors, and Margo couldn't squeeze in for a long time. With her petite figure, how can she be the opponent of those tall and plump women!

"You women! Get the hell out of here!" She finally got angry.

But those beauties turned a deaf ear and didn't notice her existence at all.

"Your prince is about to die, do you know? Hurry up and get out!" Marge had to shout to the sky.

All the women were shocked by the angry roar, their heads were buzzing, they all turned their heads and stared at her in a daze. A bolder woman hid in the crowd and whispered: "Who are you? Why do you let us go?" Immediately, there was a burst of echoing voices.

"I'm his doctor. If you don't leave, I'll report to the king immediately. If anything happens to the second prince, you will be responsible!" She said plausibly.

The beauties looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and then slowly exited the room.

She was relieved when all the beauties disappeared, and when she turned her head, she found that Ramses was leaning on the bed and looking at her with a half-smile: "Just now I seem to have heard someone say that I am going to hang up?"

The corner of her mouth twitched. Oops, I just blurted out in a hurry. This is the end! Does that count as a blatant curse on the royals

She cleared her throat, and quickly defended herself: "You know that your body is not fully recovered, but your eyesight has just recovered, and getting close to women so quickly will only do you harm!"

Just when Ramses was about to say something, his face suddenly showed pain, and he stretched out his hand to cover his cheek, as if tormented by a toothache.

"Didn't it be cured last time? Why did it recur now?" She signaled him to open his mouth, checked carefully, and suddenly frowned, "Didn't you be forbidden to eat papyrus seedlings? You still ate so much , it’s no wonder the dental disease doesn’t flare up! If this continues, your molar will definitely be pulled out!”

While speaking, she skillfully took out the ingredients from her small medicine box, mashed them into a paste, and carefully applied it on his right face.

Ramses didn't seem to hear these words, because he really didn't hear them, but was thinking about other things.

Ever since she left the palace, his heart felt empty, as if something was missing. In the past, she always appeared around him lingeringly, unable to drive him away, forcefully feeding him those unpalatable medicines. But once she was gone by his side, he felt an unknown anxiety in his heart, which made him uncomfortable.

Only when he enjoyed sweets, especially his favorite papyrus seedlings, could he resolve that strange restlessness.

When he was surrounded by those beauties just now, he really felt suffocated, but these were all gifts from his brother, and he couldn't refuse them face to face, so he had to find another chance to deal with the bunch of women.

In fact, he saw her desperately trying to break through the encirclement of beauties and squeeze in just now. While he was secretly amused, he found that the anxiety disappeared without a trace when he saw her appear.

"In addition, remember to take these medicines, and you must not eat such sweet papyrus seedlings again! Did you hear that? If you continue, this molar of yours must be pulled out!" She stretched out her hand in He swayed in front of him.

He pushed her hand away in annoyance, and turned his face to the side: "It's really long-winded, women are trouble."

"You are still so pushy, well, whatever you want, anyway, this is your business. I'm going back." She stood up lightly, suddenly felt dizzy, and then remembered that she hadn't finished dinner yet, I couldn't help but fell down as soon as my legs softened.

"Be careful! You idiot." Ramses quickly got up and grabbed her.

Margot couldn't stand upright, and fell back, knocking him down on the bed again, she fell on top of him, and the two of them fell together in a very "intimate" posture.

His eyes were like the shining North Star in the dark night, and his warm breath had almost reached her neck, her face turned red again, she quickly stretched out her hand to push him away, and hurriedly got out of bed .

"I, I'm going back, you have to remember what I said!" She forcefully said this sentence calmly and rushed out the door, leaning against the wall and patting her chest lightly to suppress her shock as soon as she got out of the room.

But Ramses in the room still maintained his original posture, staring at the gorgeous ceiling motionless, with a complex look on his face that he didn't even realize.
