Chapter 35 Chapter Thirty-Four His Intentions

He just held her like this, and he was not surprised to see their waiters and maids along the way. They bowed with smiles and greeted the pharaoh and the princess.After leaving the palace, the guards had already lined up and stood by. Ivy always felt that the atmosphere was a little bit excited, and the attitude of the maids around her was more respectful than before she left the Thebes palace, and everyone looked at her with awe and a bit of disapproval from the heart. Out of curiosity.Once she reached the banks of the Nile, things became even more confusing for her.Less than a mile away from the Temple of Karnak, the Institute of Architecture planned a huge construction site. Thousands of slaves were summoned to the banks of the Nile, kneeling on the ground, waiting for their arrival.He took her hand and said to her: "I want you to personally order the start of this fortification. Starting today, I will start building your statue on the east bank of Thebes, Abu Simbel and Memphis at the same time, Mount them in great temples."

Ivy was completely taken aback, "You said... what?" He stretched out his hand to smooth her messy hair, and then hung it behind her ear, "Of course, I will also let the artisans start painting your appearance around me." "I do not understand what you say." He finally lost his patience, the sun fell from behind him, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he looked a little shy, "What an idiot, you want to be my princess, these are of course It is necessary." Then he grabbed her, pushed her forward a little, and said as if coaxing a child, "Come on, you wave to them, and then say to the man in the construction yard with the red belt over there, let's start."

Ivy is still blindfolded. He held her forearm in a good-natured manner, and waved to the artisans and slaves kneeling below.Immediately, cheers and greetings came to her violently like a tide.The academician of architecture with the red belt also looked in their direction, bowing respectfully, waiting for her reply. "Come on, tell him to start working." He said lightly, turning her body to the sergeant who was eagerly waiting over there. Ivy finally realized that the way people of this era express their affection and love is very direct and simple. It is nothing more than trying every means to visualize and record this thing, and then spread it as long as possible. .

Murals, statues, history books, nothing less. She knew that it was easy to respond to him.Just accept it, as long as you accept his kindness and stay by his side, he will be happy. But, it doesn't work.She raised her head, "Didn't we agree before we came back not to mention marriage?" He paused for a while, and then asked: "You... don't you remember that we used to..." She interrupted him impatiently: "I remember, of course I remember, but I can't marry you like this." She turned her head, took his hand, and looked directly at him with her water blue eyes, "Even if you don't Get married, and I will be by your side, so you don't have to make these formal promises."

He looked at her and said, "Really?" He obviously didn't think of the part about the battle of Kadesh, nor did he remember the fact that in another time and space, she left him again and again and went back to the future.But when this sentence was asked, she only felt that these three words were extremely cold and fragile.She couldn't help being startled, seeing her bewildered, his expression softened again, and he said softly as if comforting her: "Then tell me, how long do you want me to wait?" The unnatural silence quickly spread, and the non-commissioned officer who was ready to start work at any time with anticipation also noticed something strange.The bustling construction site became quieter, as if there was no sound of breathing.

Ivy said weakly: "On this matter, don't force me any more." He looked at her, then turned his head suddenly, strode towards the non-commissioned officer on the other side, and said lightly: "Start making the statue and portrait of the princess, and postpone other projects." The non-commissioned officer hurried down to convey the order with doubts.The atmosphere in the construction site became very delicate. The craftsmen and the slave foremen no longer dared to speak out at will, and they all walked to their respective projects in strict order. Ramses turned his head and ordered a messenger next to him, "Notify the construction of the statue of Abu Simbel to suspend."

Ivy suddenly seemed to think of something, and quickly grabbed his arm vigorously, "You can't stop, you have to continue building this temple." His expression finally softened, and he rubbed her hair, "Changed your mind so quickly?" "No... yes." Ivy felt a little sorry to see his expression turned into disappointment, but she had no choice but to continue to say, "Because you always want to build this temple, for you and your queen—Nai Fertari." He smiled, "That's not you." She froze for a while, then said, "I'm Ivy. I mean your current queen—Nefertari."

He suddenly lowered his face and asked, "Do you know what you're talking about?" Ivy's heart tightened, and then she gritted her teeth and replied: "Of course I know, the four pharaoh sculptures on the Great Temple engraved the image of Her Royal Highness on the calf according to etiquette, and the six sculptures on the small temple, the pharaoh and the queen respectively. Three, the size of her body..." His fingers clasped her shoulders as if they were going to embed into her skeleton, Ivy didn't dare to look at him, but continued anxiously, trying to overwhelm what he was about to say, "You must Put the statue of Her Royal Highness Queen Nefertari with black hair on it."

At that moment, his eyes suddenly became extremely cold, as if he suddenly woke up from a lie. "It was clear that you wanted me to marry her at the beginning, but now you want me to do these things again. If you change your mind now and don't want to be with me anymore, you can tell me. I will ask you to like me again, why bother Find these reasons." Ivy was a little anxious, "No, I really like you. But this is not the history that everyone knows, and I can't change the history anymore!" He was silent for a long time, and finally said lightly: "Really? I want to be with you, why should I care about others."

She had tried her best, but he only thought that she didn't care about his feelings. When he didn't know what to do, he turned around and whispered a few words to the herald beside him.The herald looked at him nervously, then at Ivy again, then hurried away without daring to say a word. He turned around and grabbed her, and quickly returned in the direction he had come and gone. He walked quickly, and his pace lost his earlier thoughtfulness.Ivy knew that he must be angry when she rejected his kindness so much.So she anxiously explained: "Trust me, I have my reasons." He paused, and said without emotion: "Is your reasoning because you are going to leave me after all?" When these words came out, she was at a loss for words and couldn't answer.Just as he was hesitating, he turned his head, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, but this smile formed an almost distorted contrast with the somewhat determined sadness in his amber eyes, "Wei, you have used this reason too many times. I will not give you this chance again."

I thought that memory inexplicably exists in this time and space, and things will always develop in a good direction.But for Ivy, Ramses' behavior seems to have become more uncontrollable than before.His mood became very unstable, he was surprisingly gentle towards her at one moment, and at another moment, his anger would suddenly reach a level that could not be concealed.After returning from the construction site, Ivy found out that he had moved her residence directly to his palace, and the place where she slept dimly yesterday was his main couch.Although nothing happened, but in the eyes of others, it must be a very remarkable thing. In addition to his plan, it is no wonder that everyone looked at him differently the next day. After returning to Pharaoh's main palace with him, she said anxiously, "Where do I live?" He turned to look at her, "here." Ivy's first reaction was to refute, but before she could say anything, she was half-forced to pull her over.The world spun in an instant, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be distorted, and then, she was deeply pressed into the bed, and eager kisses fell like a rainstorm. Wen Lei once said that women fall in love with men because of the combination of their bodies, but men are eager to conquer women through their bodies. They believe that after getting a woman's body, one day, they will be reluctant to leave them. But the idea just flashed in his mind vaguely, and then quickly disappeared into the air, and he could no longer think. It was only dusk when I went back that day, and the lights in the house were never lit again.A heavy veil was pulled up in the bedroom, and the waiters were ordered not to enter, but they would leave the prepared meals at the door every day. Sometimes, it will be taken in, and sometimes, it will not be passive for two or three meals in a row. Women all over Egypt said that the young pharaoh had good looks and a first-class figure, and his sex skills were enough to make people cry.They scrambled to be the first, even if it seemed like drinking poison to quench their thirst, they still wanted to spend the spring night with him.But he seems unwilling to have a relationship with a fixed woman, and his concubines have always been only the queen Nefertari, the concubine Kamelotta, and the deceased Princess Amanla. In the past, if there were nobles who let their daughters contact the pharaoh on various occasions with the fantasy of going to heaven overnight, they later became very eager for their daughters to marry soon, so they must not be taken away by the young pharaoh.There are many rumors about Ramses, but more girls flock to him. Ivy didn't understand these things, because the previous few experiences were not very pleasant, and all the unions with him left only painful memories.But this time there was no reason to refuse. Under his guidance, she could only helplessly open her body and accept his intrusion.From the incompatibility and fear at the beginning, to the loss later, he passed out in his arms, and then woke up crying... just like this, in the huge dimly lit bedroom, the passage of time seemed to have become inexhaustible significance. The voice has become hoarse, and the vision has become blurred, and there is nothing in the mind. She finally felt that she seemed to have just begun to know everything about this man... After a few days, someone finally knocked on the door of the bedroom.The sudden sound made Ivy wake up from the tired sleep.She frowned, and wanted to sit up, only to realize that she was held tightly by Ramses' arms, unable to move at all, "Hey, someone is looking for you." She gently pushed his arm, and he half He opened one eye, reacted for a moment, then turned around and pressed her down again. The body can no longer bear more pleasure, but it has no strength to stop him, so it can only passively accept his movements.The matter of knocking on the door just now was thrown to the back of her mind. After a while, there was another hesitant knock on the door. Between the kisses, Ivy said vaguely: "Go and have a look, you haven't been on business for a long time..." But the words were interrupted by his domineering action, "Don't pay attention to them." After a while, the person at the door finally said softly, "Your Majesty, it's about Hittite..." Quiet and gentle, the unique voice of the highest priest in the whole country.At this time, he was the only one who dared to knock on the door of the pharaoh's bedroom to report on business.In a daze, Ivy still heard the words armistice agreement, and she asked casually, "What armistice agreement?" Ramses got up and put on a piece of clothing casually, "It's no big deal that we haven't fought Hittite for three years. Just wait here for me for a while." Ivy turned over, covered her head with a quilt, and listened to his footsteps gradually going away.Then suddenly, she jerked the sheet off her head again, feeling cold all over. What an armistice. The earliest armistice agreement between Hittite and Egypt should have occurred a few years after the Battle of Kadesh, and it should have been signed by the queen.After that, Hittite will send the princess to Egypt to marry Ramses, who has entered middle age, and finally maintain the peace between the two countries. Although I don't know the details, I have never heard of a truce before Kadesh.Even in another history, this time should be the time when the Hittites and Egypt could no longer compete with each other. Unexplainable unease welled up in her heart, she wrapped herself tightly in a quilt, staggered out of bed, and scrambled towards the door.Before he could go there, the door suddenly opened, and Ramses was about to walk inside with the breakfast that had just been delivered today.Seeing her getting out of bed, he took a few steps forward, closed the door, picked her up with one hand, as if holding a light and small animal, and put her on the bed again in a few steps. "Where are you going?" He said affectionately, and brought the plate in front of her again, "Be hungry, eat something." He handed her the bread and watched her put it into her mouth depressedly, "Why did you let me eat again." In his impression, when the two separated, he must be letting her eat. There was still a faint smile in his eyes, "If you don't eat well, how can your physical strength bear it?" "Huh?" His mouth was still stuffed with bread, but he still felt very embarrassed to hear him say such words.After taking the water he handed over and swallowing it desperately, she couldn't wait to ask, "Armistice agreement, that..." He paused, but there was no surprise in his amber eyes, as if he knew she would ask such a question a long time ago.He bowed his head and said softly, "Well...it's not a very important thing. The three years of peace saved me a lot of trouble and just gave me more time to be with you." "But, but..." History does not develop like this, and it cannot continue to develop like this.There was a tightness in her chest, and she wanted to ask more details, but he had already come over and said lightly, "Have you finished eating?" Before she could react, his kiss fell heavily again. "Honey is added to the bread, which is very sweet." That seemed to be the last word that could be heard clearly, and then nothing else could come to mind. People are always easily dazzled by the beautiful things in front of them. For example, when eating the chocolate that my brother bought from the corner shop on Oxford Street. Go shopping with Wen Lei until your feet are weak. While looking at Ramses' face in a daze. Because things at your fingertips are wrapped in too good a sugar coating, it is easy for people to forget their situation and indulge in it wantonly.The entanglement with Ramses day and night seems to have passed for a long time, and it seems to be a very short time.By the time he finally had to go out occasionally to deal with political affairs, more than ten days had passed.In the meantime, many things that should need to be considered seem to have been forgotten.It wasn't until dinner time that the two old ministers who had been here before came in again tremblingly and said that they would measure her body and order clothes. She asked a little nervously, "Isn't the wedding cancelled?" The two were silent for a while, and then said naturally: "It is true that it is postponed, but you also need some dresses for formal occasions, Your Highness." It seemed logical, so Ivy asked them to measure it. In the afternoon, Ramses had someone summon Anaferti and Dodo from outside the city to the palace.The little girl whose arm had recovered saw Ivy and knelt down while crying, "Your Highness, Anafetti really misses you..." Because she had lost her former master, Anafetti was especially afraid of herself. Adrift again.Although she is already a free person, she still relies on Ivy as her master from the bottom of her heart.And Duo stood behind, wiping away tears and sighing, "Your Highness, you have suffered a lot..." With familiar people by her side, Ivy also felt very at ease.But it also reminded her of the fact that Komitor was gone.But before it was too late to feel depressed, Ramses had already returned from the meeting room, and soon Anafeeti and Duo were ordered out of the bedroom. Ivy admitted that she was really slow in these aspects, so when she really discovered Ramses' intentions, it was when the first month's menstruation was delayed for more than half a month.The people of ancient Egypt were very open, and it was not unusual for young men and women to communicate. Therefore, contraceptive measures were surprisingly developed compared to other ancient civilizations.However, Ramses really did nothing about it. At first, Ivy just thought that she had never had such a relationship with others, and it was not unusual for her body to be a little abnormal, but after more than ten days, she finally realized with a pale face that Ramses had coldly dumped her many days ago. The following sentence "I will not give you this chance" really means. I suddenly felt cold all over my body, and then my heart was filled with extreme struggle and fear.On the one hand, I feel that no matter what happens, if life is formed in the body, its right to exist should not be stifled. On the other hand, the existence of life that intersects time and space violates the common sense of nature. Swallowed by history, like a silver-haired princess Ivy, she could not die well. As far as he is concerned, Ramses already has a wife and children, and he has not yet married him, even if he is married, he is just a "concubine".In ancient Egypt, concubine status was not legally guaranteed. Although concubines enjoyed honor even surpassing that of the main family when they were favored, once they lost favor, they would be kicked away by the master, and their children would also be taken over by the master and his wife. In the pharaoh's harem, because of the need to ensure the balance of power, the pharaoh will not dispose of his concubine at will, but what he has to tolerate when marrying an emperor is the fact that love will always give way to power. Apart from these, what's more, Ivy doesn't want to leave any traces of herself in this time and space. This is why at the beginning, he was extremely resistant to marrying Ramses.She thought that if she only treated him as a lover, she would not have so much psychological burden. But once there was a possibility of a new life in her body, a life that intersected time and space, she realized the complexity of the matter.If you continue to deceive yourself and others like this, there is no way to solve the matter.Before the abnormality of the body is discovered, one must make up his mind as soon as possible.
