Chapter 12 Chapter 11
Since the failure of the last competition, Nafidili, who had always had a problem with Ankasu Namu, seemed to be a different person suddenly. She, the titular stepmother, would still give her a decent smile.
This made Ankasunam feel a little uneasy.She is a smart woman, so she is good at using her beauty to achieve her own goals. In her eyes, Nafidili is an ignorant clown, impulsive and irritable, and she does not look like a royal princess at all. The contrast with her It simply couldn't be bigger.
But now, what she has shown in front of her, the so-called surrender and obedience, cannot make Ankasunam proud and complacent.Knowing the princess's nature well, she felt that there must be some conspiracy behind the princess's change.
This is not in her interest, she needs an idiot princess to set off her wisdom and nobility, she has to show an unusual side in front of the pharaoh, otherwise, the pharaoh will detest her one day, just like he detested before The same as all the favorite concubines.
Her ambition is not only to be the favorite concubine, the slavery society in Egypt made her have to climb to the highest place in order to enjoy the supreme treatment.So Ankasunam knew from the first day she became the pharaoh's favorite concubine that she needed a helper, otherwise when the pharaoh died, she, who was just a concubine, would become his funeral object.
The pharaoh's heir, Ramesh, the child of Queen Tuya and Seti I, seems to be a good choice. If she can hook up with the future pharaoh, then she doesn't have to be buried.However, what this heir cares about now is more about Egypt's political, military, and economics. He doesn't seem to care about her beauty. Moreover, he has a good relationship with Nafidiri, his half-sister, and they are somewhat similar. character.
To put it bluntly, he also despised her, a scheming and ambitious woman who likes to use her beauty to solve things.
And the so-called teacher of the high priest and the princess, Fisherlila from the far and mysterious east, sounds like a big airs, but after contacting him a few times, Ankasunam found that he had no ambitions and a temper Too meek and easy to bully, this kind of weak man with little knowledge will not be able to achieve great things in the future, no wonder he will wander to Egypt, fearing that the position of patriarch will be taken away by others.
In the end, only the holy and noble high priest of Egypt is left.Compared with the other two people, Ankasunam obviously admired Emerton more.The high priest is gentle and polite, but he is not like the useless teacher Fisher Lila. He has a tough heart. From the various policies he implemented on the temple, it can be seen that he is actually a tough person in his bones.As the spiritual leader of the whole of Egypt, he is so powerful that he can even be compared with the pharaoh.
His handsome and divine appearance is more in line with Ankasunam's taste.More importantly, he has ambitions, and it is precisely because of this ambition that he has gradually changed from a grassroots man to a high priest who no one dares to look up to. Now, even the pharaoh who pushed him to this position is afraid of him. Power and divine power.Ankasunam felt that, one day, Imerton would replace the aging pharaoh.
Only by conquering such a man can she have a bright future.At that time, who will pay attention to that clever princess who doesn't know what she is playing?
With such a purpose in mind, Ankasunam began to approach the seemingly peaceful High Priest Imerton who was actually inaccessible.However, although the high priest treated her very well, he could also feel that he didn't really take her to heart, which made Ankasunam, who seldom hit a wall in terms of beauty, a little reconciled.
"After careful consideration, the pharaoh's new favorite concubine finally decided on the high priest of Egypt." In Imerton's bedroom, the husband took a sip of tea calmly, turned his head to look at the bright sun outside the door, and had already stepped into the bedroom. The summer weather makes people feel hot and uneasy. Although he still wears a long robe, he only wears a loincloth under the robe.The robe is not bound in any way, and when it moves occasionally or the breeze blows, through the corners of the clothes that are blown up, one can clearly see his slightly slender but tight body with every muscle just right.
He was originally going to walk around the streets today, but he met Imerton who was voluntarily treating illnesses among the people, and returned to the temple with him under his insistence.
Emerton put one hand on the table, propped his head, and smiled playfully: "What's the matter, Fisher Rilla? Do you feel upset when you see that I've been spotted by that witch?"
The gentleman raised his eyebrows, looked at Imerton who was smiling deeply, and suddenly shook his head helplessly. "If it's not a bad thing, it's not called a disaster." He seemed to be pointing, a thought flashed in his deep eyes, and he smiled indifferently, "It doesn't matter, whether you like it or act, it doesn't matter. .”
Hearing the meaningless tone of his husband, Imerton frowned, stood up suddenly, put his hands on the table, and looked down at him. "That woman is really smart, ambitious, and a dangerous poison. I might appreciate her, but I can't like her, let alone act with her. She's just a pawn for me." He had a sullen face, road.
Mr. Imerton's sudden agitation and face change made him a little puzzled. "Don't be nervous, Imerton. I'm not against you having anything to do with her. On the contrary, it might help your plan differently."
Imherton pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.
"Master High Priest, Your Highness Ankasunam asks you to pray to the gods for her, and she is waiting outside the hall." A monk's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Imerton just looked at the calm and puzzled gentleman, and didn't reply.The monk was very good, seeing that the high priest didn't reply for a long time, he didn't dare to ask, so he could only stand respectfully at the door.
"Fischer Rilla, my dear sir, do you think that all emotions and all people are objects to be used for your own Tyranny?" Emerton sneered, with some sarcasm Said.
The gentleman frowned slightly, but did not answer.
"Oh, you taught me another good lesson today, my respected sir." Imerton said sarcastically, suddenly raised his volume, and shouted to the monks outside the door: "Let Ankasuna Your Highness Mu, wait a moment, and I will immediately pray to the gods for her alone!"
"Yes." The monk obediently replied and then withdrew.
Emerton kept his eyes on Mr. He tried to see other expressions besides tenderness and tolerance from his amber eyes that were never free from impurities but could never see through his thoughts, but he couldn't find it. to whatever he wanted to see.So, he snorted angrily and strode away.
The gentleman looked at Imerton's back and frowned in distress.Sure enough, he is not suitable for being in contact with ordinary people for too long, because it is already difficult for him to understand some of their emotional fluctuations.
Ankasunam came here this time, on the surface, she wanted the high priest to pray to the gods for her to give birth to a son, but in fact, Emerton already knew that.When he found her and determined that she was the "disaster", he already knew that the future might not be peaceful.However, unlike usual, Imerton showed relative cooperation this time.
If he wants to firmly control the supreme power of my high priest and let the pharaoh fall apart to strengthen his own strength, so that the pharaoh will not dare to touch the temple in the next few decades or even hundreds of years is a good way to catch them all.
Now, because of a few simple words from her husband, the stupid princess began to help him confuse the originally established future distribution of power. She used the method taught to him by her husband to brilliantly propose to Pharaoh how to manage floods and droughts , making Pharaoh pay attention to her again.It also gradually made Prince Ramis, who had a good relationship with her, become wary of her, even though the innocent princess hadn't noticed anything yet.
According to Mr. just now, if Ankasunam is allowed to get involved, the pharaoh's harem will become more and more chaotic in a short time. At that time, he can take advantage of the fisherman's power, or use the "Oracle Metaphor" "It is a good choice to remove the pharaoh who has become fatuous and greedy for power, let Prince Ramis ascend the throne and Princess Nafidili to take charge of Upper and Lower Egypt together, foster a puppet dynasty, or directly ascend the throne by himself.
That's all very well, but Imerton is very reluctant to do so.It's not because he respects the current pharaoh so much, but because Mr. Chi Guoguo's intention to use it is too obvious.Although Imerton had already understood a little bit about his nature, he did not hesitate to use the means to achieve the goal, and all the obstacles on the way forward were either obstacles that should be removed or stepping stones that could be used. These were all taught to him.But Imerton didn't expect that he could also be used by Mister!
Now Imerton's thoughts have already flown to that seemingly gentle, elegant and affectionate gentleman, but he is actually ruthless, so there is no need to pray for Ankasunam.Although his ability came from Seth, Imerton thought to himself that he didn't have any other emotions for these gods other than the piety he pretended on the surface. Perhaps it was his childhood life that made him understand the cruel reality. That's why when he kneels in front of the god statue now, he will recite casually on the surface, but perfunctorily.
Annoyed with his husband, he casually cooperated with Ankasu Namu for a while, and then invited her back to the palace, while he hurried to the previous bedroom. He didn't understand what he was eager for.
When they got to the bedroom, but after learning the news that his husband had left long ago, Imerton angrily rolled up a pile of wind and sand and blew all the furniture and decorations in the room, scaring the monks and maids who dared not breathe, and crawled tremblingly Bearing the wrath of the high priest on earth.
Emerton had been in the ruins for a long time before he snorted coldly and ordered the room to be tidied up, while he strode out and directly entered the palace.
It's time for him to repay Ankasunam's painstaking efforts, and, after all, this is what Fisherlila expected... Imerton sneered in his heart, with a spring-like smile still on his surface, and put a hand-made The sand man handed it to Ankasunam who had just returned to the bedroom, and excused that he forgot to give her the statue just now. If she could put it on the bedside, the god would definitely feel her sincerity.
Ankasunam was overjoyed. In her opinion, it was her previous efforts that finally touched the high priest's heart, making him still miss her after seeing her, so she used the excuse to go to the palace to meet again.
Imerton left Ankasunam's residence, "accidentally" passed by Fisher Lila's bedroom, and saw Fisher Lila who was teaching the princess carefully without any accident, and couldn't help turning cold.
"Master High Priest." Tiabka, who was guarding the door, saw Imerton, and immediately knelt down.
Imerton glanced at him coldly, and strode away without saying a word.
Tiyabuka was buried deep in the face with both hands, without any timidity.He raised his head expressionlessly, looked at Imerton's back gloomyly, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
