At all costs, he cast the clearest crystal cover in the world with his most sincere heart, desperately protecting the looming hope that may not exist at all.The vast atrium was silent, and the royal family, ministers, dignitaries, clerks, heralds, attendants, maids, and musicians present at this moment focused all their attention on the princess who had decided to accept the challenge.Ivy's petite body stood upright as usual, her long silver hair shining like moonlight running silently down her spine.A slight smile tugged at her lips.Although not a professional dancer, Ivy is a sociable person who knows the necessary social dance.From elegant and luxurious waltzes to enthusiastic and dynamic modern dance, Ivy has been practicing more or less secretly.Although this was 3,000 years ago, seeing that the band had all kinds of percussion instruments such as drums and castanets, she decided to dance a Latin dance that she was very good at.Even if you can't be considered a first-class master, in the era when Latin dance was not yet invented, you must be the best dancer, and if you want to win, it is not without chance.Besides, even if she loses, it will only lose some face, and once she wins, she can solve a big worry in her heart, and it is worth taking this risk no matter how she thinks about it.The key to winning is how to set the atmosphere and surprise the pharaoh She walked to the center of the hall, her small chin raised slightly, and her transparent gray eyes looked at the pharaoh who was high above without hesitation, "I am willing to dance." ”Princess Tia stood up from her seat and said to Ramses: "Your Majesty, as a princess of the royal family, in such a public place" Ramses did not speak, but Camillotta took over: "Today is the feast of the royal family, there is no distinction between kings and ministers, just like a family."
The princess is dancing in her own hall, please don't worry, Your Highness. ”As soon as these words came out, Ramses slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table, which frightened Camillotta and quickly silenced her, and obediently sat down in her seat.At this time, the young man with amber eyes slowly stood up, pursed his lips tightly, stood for a few seconds, and then spoke: "Ivy, don't mess around. ”It was the tone of the elder brother to the younger sister again, and Aiwei's heart tightened, and she lost her temper, "The things that Your Majesty promised before are too tempting, Aiwei really has something she wants, please let me try." ”Without Pharaoh's answer, the silver-haired maiden turned decisively, strode over to the band, and said something to the bewildered musicians.The ministers were in an uproar, and at the same time gasped for cold air, but seeing the cold face of the pharaoh, they did not dare to spit it out, so they swallowed it back again.Ramses' eyes tightened, and the big hands placed at his sides clenched inadvertently.Feeling the incomprehensible gaze of Nefertari and Camillotta on the side, he forced himself to regain his composure, and just sat back in his seat and picked up the glass again.Mentus, who was not far away, noticed that this time the pharaoh was not just holding the cup casually, as before, his hand was tightly gripping the curved cup, as if he was about to crush it, and the back of his strong hand faintly protruded green tendons.Fortunately, it didn't take long, at least, in the eyes of most people, before the pharaoh could blow up, and Ivy was back in the middle of the hall.She always had a perfect smile, but her gray eyes flashed with a mischievous light, and then she bent down, grabbed the hem of her skirt, and tore the white skirt to her knees, rolled up the sides, and tied a knot at the waist at random, revealing her slender and white calves, as if she were wearing a small white gown.She picked up the silver hair that had fallen to her waist, plucked a simple hair ornament from the maid's head, and pinned it gently behind her head.Ancient Egyptian women were quite open and scantily dressed, but Princess Ivy, who has always been conservative and introverted, would do such a look, which really makes people have to focus all their attention on her.I saw her bend her forearms, gently clasp her hands, and hollow out the gold bracelet of gold and emerald, making a beautiful hitting sound.Three, two, oneAt this moment, the band behind him joined in an unfamiliar beat and rhythm.The four beats are divided into eighths, and each fourth and eighth beats are two slightly heavier drum beats, interspersed with castanets, intervening in the first, two, and half, fourth, sixth, and seventh beats, and finally, percussion is added in the first, third, fifth, and seventh beats.It seems to be a messy combination, but it is matched with a very rhythmic rhythm.In this kind of music, Ivy stepped on a dance step with agility and skill that no one in the audience had ever seen.The twisting of the body is similar to that of Egyptian dance, but it has a different charm, the movement of the arms when dancing is full of power and wonderful shapes, and the rapid rotation is overwhelming before anyone can react.The sound of the drums kept accelerating, perhaps because the musicians gradually became familiar with this rhythm, and Ivy's steps became faster and faster.She always had a smile on her face, and the constant rotation made her face flush with a slight flush, staining her pale face, which had a special style.At this time, the string musicians who had been sitting on the sidelines seemed to have discovered the mystery of the rhythm, and they joined in this grand dance music, and for a moment the music poured like a tide over the heads of everyone in the hall.Ivy was in the middle of it, the center of attention for everyone, and she couldn't stop spinning and dancing violently and steadily.Her long silver hair flowed with her swaying, and the light skirt corners made a perfect arc in the air.The royal family, the courtiers, the attendants, everyone looked at her intently, watching this wonderful and charming dance.Even Camillota, who is the country's No. 1 dancer, couldn't take her eyes off her, just stared blankly, unable to say a word.Suddenly, a young courtier muttered, "She doesn't seem to be dancing alone." ”Who's to say it's not, although she is just dancing solo, although every movement is very full and passionate, but her every step, every gesture, every look, every smile, is like someone standing opposite.Needless to say, this is clearly a unique pas de deux.But who could stand opposite her and dance with such unheard of and unfamiliar dance steps, and dance with her The music sped up suddenly, and Ivy spun even faster, her gray eyes staring at a certain point in the air in front of her, as if looking at her lover passionately.Suddenly, the drum beat reached the end, and the song stopped abruptly, as if habitually stretching out her hand and leaning back slightly, as if waiting for someone to catch her.But at this moment, she seemed to suddenly realize that she was just dancing alone, her body trembled, she suddenly lost her balance, and she was about to fall to the ground.However, her petite body fell into a pair of strong arms, and the hair ornament that had been loosened by the rapid dance fell to the ground, and the silver strands of hair instantly spread out, pouring like water onto the blue and white stone ground, like a waterfall that shimmered with diamonds.The beads of sweat on her face fell suddenly, but she still maintained her original position, and gave all her weight to the person holding her in front of her with trust in the most natural way.She closed her eyes slightly, then clasped the man's arm with both hands, her gray and almost transparent eyes opened suddenly, and she looked at the person in front of her without shying away, panting with a little difficulty, trying to adjust her breathing, "Did I win" Dark brown hair swept across Pharaoh's cheeks and fell on the sides of Ivy's face.The handsome face blocked the light from above, casting a shadow on the silver girl's body.He frowned slightly, his almost transparent amber eyes revealing an indescribably complex expression.He was silent for a long time, until everything around him was equally quiet.Like the west bank of Thebes, the silence of life is lost."
You" he paused, the word "you" was very difficult to say, and there was a trace of inexplicable frustration in his daily indifferent voice, but there was also some relief in savoring it, and the next two words were said very easily and decisively, "Win." ”He let go of his hand, and Ivy leaned back naturally, falling to the ground.Fortunately, it was not far from the ground, and I didn't feel very painful.Before she could complain, he had already walked briskly back to his throne, with a slight imperceptible and even somewhat self-deprecating smile on his lips, and asked her, "What do you want, you say." ”Did she win, did she really win, regardless of her anger, Ivy was so happy that she almost jumped, and she temporarily changed the Latin pas de deux to her own one-man show, and finally almost forgot to fall a dog and gnaw mud, but fortunately, Ramses didn't know which tendon was broken, and let her go so easily.It's so lucky, "whatever wealth and status you want, even if you don't want to go to Gushi, it doesn't matter if you talk about it." ”Ramses clasped his hands in front of his chest and said seemingly nonchalantly.Ivy hurriedly stood up and said hurriedly: "No, it's okay to go to Gushi, I just want one person." ”At this moment, Nefertari and Ramses' faces sank together."
Don't get me wrong," Ivy didn't mean to create suspense, and she didn't want Nefertari to add to her sorrows, "I want Shept to be exempt from responsibility and become the queen's personal maid." ”As soon as these words came out, Seaman's forehead almost burst into bruises, and Camillota's face was even more ugly, and even Nefertari, the biggest beneficiary, had an expression of disbelief and confusion.Ivy glanced at Seaman, his drooping triangular eyes looking at her, and his eyes, undisguised by age, shone sharply.Needless to say, I also know that in this history, Ivy and this old minister's Liangzi are married again.But anyway, she is an unfavored princess who wants to go to a remote country, and it doesn't matter if she marries a beam or a group of beams."
You are sure," Ramses asked again.Ivy nodded quickly, her gray eyes showed an eager light, for fear that he would change his mind, "Well, let's decide so" Ramses tilted his head slightly, took a breath without a trace, and then gently raised his right hand and said lightly to the waiter beside him, "According to her." ”The waiter bowed down and hurried down, and Ivy was relieved, and her expression, which had been so nervous that it was almost stiff, softened, and a faint smile appeared on her pale face.She scratched her head and said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty" finally did the right thing, and finally didn't run in vain.She happily retreated, completely unconcerned that Seaman and Camillotta were enough to kill her a hundred times, and walked back to her seat with some excitement.At the very moment when she sat down, Ramses stepped down from her seat, leaned over to say something to Mentus beside her, and strode over to her.When everyone didn't react, he grabbed her who was confused, and said to the puzzled courtiers in the hall, "Everyone, please take care of yourself next." ”After taking a few steps outside, he stopped, turned sideways and coldly dropped a sentence: "The problems you are concerned about must have been solved."
This matter ends here, and if you dare to have an excesses in the future, you will not be forgiven. ”The indifferent and solemn expression, without the slightest fluctuation in tone, made everyone in the audience freeze for a while, unable to speak, let alone move.At that time, the huge atrium was filled with a silence like death.Amber eyes looked sharply at Seaman, piercing through the air, just glaring, the old courtier suddenly agitated, and the mud cup in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, shattering into several pieces with a clatter, and it was even more terrifying in such a stagnant scene.I saw Siman staggering to his feet, trembling uncontrollably.He fell to the ground with all his might, his forehead pressed against the ground, and even the sound of collision could be faintly heard.Immediately afterwards, Omhond, as well as a group of courtiers behind the two sides, all got up from their seats and fell to the ground one after another.All the waiters, maids, musicians and other people in the hall were implicated.They bowed their heads, but they did not dare to say a word.Ivy looked up at the young monarch beside her, but at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, with a handsome and handsome face, she could have such courage and influence.The words of Princess Tia resounded in my head: "Don't rebel against him at will, or everything you hold dear will come to naught." ”He is the king of Egypt, and in this vast territory belonging to the Son of the Sun, all life and death belong to him.Ivy felt a little uneasy in her heart.In this world, she has nothing left, what else can he take from herWhile she was in a daze, Ramses increased her strength and dragged her out of the hall quickly, without a single attendant, and just like that, the figures of the two sneaked into the vast night.Ramses tugged at Ivy's right arm and walked quickly towards the middle palace.The young monarch's steps were steady and broad, making it difficult for the petite Ivy to keep up.But he didn't mean to slow down at all, just arbitrarily imprisoned her, and walked quickly without saying a word."
What the hell is going on," Ivy asked bravely.Judging by his face, it didn't seem to be overly gloomy, it shouldn't be too bad a situation, even if he solemnly warned everyone involved in the factional confrontation just now, this matter should have nothing to do with her.Even if she defied his order just now, she danced very well and did not disgrace the royal family, and he finally stepped forward to support her, so he should not be very angry anyway.So which one is singing now, her face wrinkled, he didn't say a word, it was really hard to guess, and it was really hard to walk so fast, "That" asked again before she succeeded, and she was suddenly beaten by him and hugged in his arms.Strong arms held her slender body tightly.His steps were as fast as ever, and he didn't change because he hugged one more person.Ivy cowered on his chest, and his heart could be heard beating vigorously and slightly.However, his side remained expressionless as usual.Not saying a word like this, in such a dark night, it is really a little scary.Ivy couldn't help but gently grab the placket of his chest and muttered quietly, "Tell me something, or I'll think I'm lost in the tomb." ”"Ivy."
He stopped abruptly, startling her, and defended again and again, "I'm not talking about the tomb, I mean" Halfway through, she felt that his attention was not here, so she carefully abandoned the topic and looked around in silence.There was silence all around, and lush trees surrounded them.There was no bright light in sight, only the pale golden moonlight scattered through the gaps in the trees, shining softly on them.It was apparently a fairly secluded and private place in the palace, and if Ivy remembered correctly, it was near the pharaoh's study.Not far away, it should be the blue lotus pond where she once fell.Obviously, no one in this vicinity was allowed to approach except for Pharaoh's Praetorian Guards and cronies like Ritach and Mentus.What is the matter, I need to come here on purpose to say that it is something that needs to be avoided by others, and Ivy looked at him puzzled.His hands were still clasped tightly around her, looking ahead, but his gaze was deliberately avoiding her."
Why don't you ask me for something else," he said slowly, as if trying to hide something between his words, and after a moment's thought, he added, "except for what you asked me before." ”"I need the Eye of Horus right now."
Ivy said helplessly.It's rare for him to open his mouth so generously and want to give something, but what else could she want besides the Eye of Horus, do she want him to remember memories that don't exist at all, or want him to promise a love that can't be realized at all, since she knows that she can't, it's better not to speak stupidly.He shook his head slowly, "I already know the secrets of the Eye of Horus. ”Hearing this, Ivy was shocked.This sentence seems to be mysterious, is it an implication that she is not actually Princess Ivy's business, or he has other ideas, for a while, Ivy's mind was chaotic, and joy and sorrow surged into her heart, and she was so nervous that she didn't know how to react.The moonlight fell on the pharaoh's angular face, casting a thick shadow along the bridge of his handsome nose, staining his face with an indescribable sadness.After being silent for a long time, he said lightly: "Let's not talk about this first, if you don't want to go to Gushi, don't go." ”"The Eye of Horus" Ivy was a little anxious, and halfway through her words, he blocked her mouth with his fingers."
I know, you want the Eye of Horus."
The thick and good-looking eyebrows were tightly locked, and the amber eyes were flowing with a complicated light, "But I don't want to give it to you." ”"Don't want to give it to me," Ivy could feel her voice distorted.What does this mean is the Eye of Horus, the only hub that connects the ancient with the modern.He was reluctant to give it to her, implying that he had already obtained the precious treasure but did not want to give it to her.Did she want her to be his sister for the rest of her life, and let him send her, until she was old and her mind was in chaos, and she couldn't help but struggle lightly, trying to get out of his arms.Ramses hung his head and looked at her with a panicked look on his face.His heart skipped a beat, as if it had been run over by gravel."
I'm not going to kill you if you're afraid of anything."
He spoke softly, then lowered his body with her strength so that her feet could fall comfortably to the ground.As soon as her feet touched the ground, Ivy subconsciously took two steps back.She rested her hands awkwardly at her sides, and couldn't help but grasp the hem of her skirt a little harder.The words of doubt are on the lips, but I don't know how to ask them.He frowned at her bewildered appearance, deliberately looked away, and said lightly, "At the Karnak Temple, you mentioned that the person named you Wei. ”Ivy was stunned for a moment by the sudden change in subject.Seeing that she didn't speak, Ramses added, "You want to be with him" A wet mist filled Ivy's eyes, and his handsome face became blurred.Because he couldn't see clearly, there seemed to be a trace of tenderness on his frosty face that he hadn't seen for a long time.If it's a dream, don't wake up, keep going.She nodded heavily, "Yes, very much." ”Thinking of not far away for thousands of years, not thousands of miles away, even if this person has long forgotten about her and completely wiped her out of his life, leaving no trace.But at least, she believes, there's a one in a million chance.After a long silence, he asked, "That person, where?"
and she could hardly believe her ears.He was concerned about her affairs, and the ecstasy of those who cared about her was almost overflowing, and his heart was so warm that it seemed to break through the outermost hard shell and bloom into a brilliant flower.Right here, right in front of him, "Forget it," he suddenly interrupted, his amber eyes full of disgust, "That's your business, Brother Wang shouldn't ask more." ”Right here, the people you love, the people you love with all your passion and all your life, right here, right in front of you, why the world seems to be shattered with a bang.How can a person be completely dead, obviously one person, but there are memories of two people, just like a pas de deux, but she is the only one who dances.But she insisted so hard and worked so hard.At all costs, he cast the clearest crystal cover in the world with his most sincere heart, desperately protecting the looming, perhaps non-existent hope.Even if it hurts, I won't leave.She forced herself to laugh, and the bitterness in her heart gradually faded into every cell, so bitter that her soul longed to float away from her body.Why did he stab her like this, since he was going to stab her, why did he leave her hope" then, whose name would you call" "What" Ramses frowned, as if he couldn't understand her question.When people are in pain, they smile.The more flat the smile, the more it means that you are on the verge of collapse.Then, barely maintaining a one-touch balance on the edge, waiting for the last moment, falling into the bottomless abyss."
Wei, never leave me.""
Wei, you have to remember, I love you" and "Who is the person you love deeply" is not afraid.His countenance became even more grim at this moment.It seemed to be a thick fog all around, and although he was only two steps away from her, she never felt that they would be so far away.Do you still need to ask everyone knows, three thousand years later.His love for her is known to everyone.The magnificent temple attached to the temple of Abu Simbel, the exquisite mausoleum of the queen, and his love with Neferthali are the right track of historical guidance, and the fate determined by the gods.Even if they seem to be nothing more than respectful to each other now, as time goes by, the pace of history will never be unstoppable.She bowed her head deeply, not looking at his expression, only to hear him speak coldly, and his indifferent voice seemed to gradually float from the distant nothingness: "Ivy, this matter has nothing to do with you. ”The eyes are just trying not to shed tears, but the heart is holding back and not wanting to bleed.But this heart-piercing pain, how can she not be discouraged, she knows it, she knows it.The corners of her mouth twitched, she couldn't help it, tears flooded her vision, and her eyes were blurred.Her slender fingers gripped the white skirt even harder, and her nails penetrated through the fabric into her palms, and a slight pain ran down the blood into her heart."
Then what are you going to tell me" "Oh, I almost forgot about that. ”His voice was as indifferent as the depths of the sea, "Ivy, I have a new plan to marry you as my concubine, what do you think" The handsome young man said softly, and the last note was swallowed into the sudden wind, drifting into the rustling leaves.A huge tide was set off in my mind, and the sound of the Nile flowing slowly swept over the sky, drowning all the voids.Ramses II, the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom, son of Seti I.During his ninety-two years of life, he had six queens, nearly 200 concubines and lovers, and more than 100 children.Among the women he married included the well-known "Great Wife" Nefertari, the daughters of several high-ranking officials and nobles, his sister and even the daughters of him and Nefertari.Every day, every time, when I see these words, Ivy's heart is clenched.She had tried to slam the book to the ground as if she had gone mad, or shake her head in disbelief and tear off the page on which the records were written, tearing it slowly in the wind, little by little, and then scattering.Later, she hid from looking, carefully studying his success, and carefully circumventing any account of his relationship or marriage.And no matter how much she dodges, history seems to be deliberately playing tricks, and even let her go to the famous pharaoh's proposal to his sister."
Plan" Ivy stood still, subconsciously took a step back, her light gray eyes looked at the richly dressed ruler in front of her in disbelief, and her already pale face was even more bloodless at this time, revealing a miserable whiteness as if she was going to die at any time, is marriage a plan, what kind of plan is it, "What about the Eye of Horus, what about the person you love" "Ivy," Ramses took a step forward, his sturdy body was only half a step away from her, he looked at her condescendingly, "Love and marriage are two separate things. ”He never denied it, denied that he had a loved one.Maybe marrying one or two side rooms is nothing at all in such an era."
But how will this help you, a princess born in a side room, who doesn't even look like an Egyptian.I can neither bring land, nor consolidate power, nor convince everyone" She said excitedly, her voice trembling slightly from the fluctuating mood, "Why did Brother Wang go to such a great lengths to do such a thing that would not benefit the Empire" "Avy" Ramses's voice was tinged with displeasure, but he had no way to refute her words, "This is an order, are you going to disobey Pharaoh's order" "But, have you forgotten our agreement, what I want, is the Eye of Horus."
You have promised me, and I am willing to keep my word. ”He looked at her in confusion, his amber eyes barely focusing.The girl in front of him, this uncontrolled chess piece, stirred up a ripple in his calm heart.If you think about it, you may have to admit that since she walked into the blue lotus pond, she is no longer the weak sister he disdains.Her petite figure had crept into his heart at that moment.And later, the overlap between her and the image of the girl in his dream made him even more confused.Whether it was because of Ivy's transformation that moved his heart or simply because of the flow of light that he mistook her several times for the blonde Nefertari he didn't want to think about what the confusion in his heart was.He didn't dare to think about what this cowardice in his heart was.The moonlight fell on her, and she was white in a silver light, covering her deep eyes, her erect nose, and her delicate mouth.She is like an illusory painting, maybe when touched, it will shatter and drift into the wind.How can we make her not disappear easily, leave her behind, leave this silver girl behind, no matter what means she uses, no matter what she will face.Ramses' eyes tightened, "I changed my mind, Gush can let others go, you have to stay with me." ”"What about the Eye of Horus" There was a hint of crying in her crisp voice, did she want the Eye of Horus so much" Ivy, I tell you," the amber eyes were covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and they looked particularly cold against the moonlight, "I can't allow you to negotiate terms with me for the third time." ”He was the pharaoh of Egypt.From a young age, he was convinced that he would be the ruler of this kingdom of the sun, the only mediator between God and man, and the ruler of all living and non-living beings in this rich land.Ever since he sat on this supreme throne, no one has escaped his control.Not to mention this small chess piece that has always been firmly controlled by him."
Would you rather die in the heat and drought of Ethiopia than stay in the rich and beautiful Egypt" "I don't care where I go, I just want the Eye of Horus." ”Ivy persisted, as if a drowning man was holding on to this life-saving straw."
Ivy you really think I don't know what you're thinking" he said suddenly, the cold words pierced the silent night, Ivy froze, staring at him blankly, unable to speak.There was not a trace of wind, the moon was blocked by thick clouds, and the surroundings instantly seemed to sink into the dark deep sea, which was obviously a scorching desert climate, but it was suddenly suffocating cold."
Your Majesty, the Priesthood has always kept this secret and the true Eye of Horus, and its power is extremely powerful, and all those who get it can go anywhere at any time and faster than their thoughts in the shortest possible time.""
Because of this secret that subverts time and space, the secret treasure has been sealed since a long time ago, and the four major temples hold the key to the secret treasure.And time and space flow, now I can only provide you with these three keys, the fourth" Ritahe's words sounded in his mind again and again, and he didn't seem to understand.In the end, he only came to the obvious conclusion: she just wanted to leave him, and wherever she went, she could take the Eye of Horus and leave him far away forever to go to the person she liked.The Eye of Horus, the Eye of Horus, she kept repeating the damn thing, she kept emphasizing how desperately she wanted to escape from him.She's not a blonde girl, she's not the Nefertari he's obsessed with.But he didn't want her to leave, he wanted to see her every day, to see her bravery, her intelligence, her unexpectedness.He firmly believes that this is not love, but he is willing to give marriage without hesitation.With such an honor, why did she resist with a low bloodline, "There are only three keys to the secret treasure left, you will never want to get the Eye of Horus" He said with disgust, deliberately ignoring her pale as paper due to despair, picking the harshest words, trying to hide the confusion and uneasiness in his heart."
I will marry you in ten days.Don't tell me anything more about the Eye of Horus," she snapped her hand up and landed heavily on his cheek.She covered her heart, her big gray eyes filled with tears.The clouds were blown away, and the moonlight shone on her weak body."
I will never, marry your partial concubine."
It's good for everyone, but I don't want him to please stop tearing, trampling, and ravaging the love that only she remembers.Her heart was already breaking.Is her heart aching, so she even spoke so sharply, so why is he also hurting, does he also have the same problem, and a cold smile gradually appeared on the corner of Ramses's mouth.Woman who doesn t know how to lift, does she really think she is very special, does he have to destroy her, does she know her own weight He frowned and condescended.He looked at her, and there was no emotion in his amber eyes.Tall ferns rustle in the sudden wind."
Good, good.Then the day after tomorrow, you should immediately set off for Gushi" t1706231537:
