"Nefertiti, let's have the next round, a kind of bet."
There was a palpable hint of interest in Amenhot's eyes.Fu Zhenhong's hand in chess paused, and he said without raising his eyelids: "I want to echo your trick." ”The words fell, and the black chess pieces in his hand landed on the chessboard.Then he picked up another white piece.Fu Zhenhong's hands are very slender and fair, with clear bones, and every joint is very delicate and beautiful.Such a pair of hands, between the thumb and middle finger between the pure white "color" of the Senit chess, the skin against the center of the Senit a little upper part of the round hose depression, falling in the eyes of people, undoubtedly makes people feel very pleasing to the eye.Even the comparison of the white "colored" pieces with the skin of his hand made it impossible for Amenhot/P IV to tell whether the Senit chess pieces were whiter or Nefertiti's skin was more pure and flawless.Amenhot/P IV looked at it for a few seconds, then blinked his eyelashes and returned his attention to the conversation with Nefertiti: "Nefertiti, are you afraid that you will lose me?"
”He said meaninglessly.Fu Zhenhong replied in a calm tone: "Even if you say this on purpose, it will be of no use to me." ”Amenhot/P IV was not discouraged, and he asked rhetorically: "If you play Senit by yourself, the fun of clearing the game will be reduced by at least half, right?"
”When Fu Zhenhong heard this, she spoke again, obviously not planning to pay attention to the meaning of Amenhot/P IV.Amenhot/P IV didn't care about Fu Zhenhong's coldness, he continued: "Nefertiti, you should know, we are already partners.The relationship between you and me should not be as cold and alienated as it is now. ”When Amenhot/Pu IV said this, Fu Zhenhong still spoke, but the weak chicken system kept complaining in his mind.
[Xiaohong, just rush to this Amenhot/P IV to ask for your share of enthusiasm at night, how can you be embarrassed to say that the relationship between the two of you is cold and alienated!]
][Be quiet.] ][Oh!]
Okay. ]"Nefertiti, I am the law of Egypt, and you are my queen, so try to accept me."
Fu Zhenhong's tone was cold: "A game of Senit chess can't change anything. ”Amenhot/P IV shook his head slightly: "Not necessarily. ”He paused, then smiled: "Isn't it still a bet." ”"Enavetti, let's play the next game."
Amenhot/P.
IV extended another invitation.This time, Fu Zhenhong refused, "Okay." ”He replied, "What's the bet?"
”"The loser must promise a condition for the winning side.""
Hmm."
Fu Zhenhong responded and said no more.Hearing this, the curvature of the corners of his lips rose a few points, and he took the initiative to pack the pieces on the board according to the black and white "colors", and then pushed the box where the white pieces were placed to red, and chose to use the black "color" pieces."
You come first."
Amenhot/P IV said to Fu Zhenhong, it was clear that he was confident in his chess skills.Fu Zhenhong also shirked, took the lead in holding a white chess piece and put it on the checkerboard, and began to pass in the first step.Senit is not a difficult game, and Egyptians often play Senit as a way of nostalgia for the dead.However, if you refine the Senit chess step by step, once it is a strategic chess game, it requires a lot of careful thought.From an early age, Amenhot/Pw IV studied imperial strategy in depth, and was excellent in both insight and big-picture thinking.In the next move, he looked at ten moves, and every move he made was extremely sharp, a little euphemistic.Leave almost no room for opponents.Amenhot/P IV, who played Senit chess, was very focused, his face was calm, his thin lips were slightly closed, but there was a strong and sharp aura between his eyebrows.At this moment, it seems that he is not just playing a game of Senit, but a strategic big picture.It was as if everything was in his hands, and everything was under his control.Fu Zhenhong's move was milder than that of Amenhot/P.
IV, and in the end, Fu Zhenhong lost to Amenhot/P.
IV by three moves.However, it is also the reason why Fu Zhenhong retains part of his strength.In this chess game, from the very beginning, Fu Zhenhong planned to win.However, this loss, he also lost deliberately, so that Amenhot/P IV felt it."
Nefertiti, you lose."
Amenhot/P IV was in a good mood, and even the sense of oppression between his eyebrows and eyes had dissipated a lot.Fu Zhenhong spoke, just looked at Amenhot/P IV with his eyes, and motioned to Amenhot/P IV to say the terms of the gambling contract that he needed to honor."
Well, I'll think about it for a moment," said Amenhot/P.
IV, with a slight smile in his eyes, "Nefertiti, I hope you will promise me that when I stretch out my hands to you, you will take the initiative to put your hands in my palms." ”He said this, of course, not just to simply hold hands, but to mean that from now on, Nefertiti should respond accordingly to his approach.They are companions, and there should be no estrangement and suspicion.There should be mutual trust, and together we should push Egypt for the better.Although Amenhot/P IV said these words, he knew that Nefertiti understood what he meant.Fu Zhenhong answered whether it was good or not, but lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking.Seeing this, Amenhot/P-IV lowered his tone and said slowly, "Is it okay?"
”He used a questioning sentence, even though he knew that Nefertiti's rejection was unlikely.At this time, Amenhot/P IV sat on the throne with an inviolable and powerful appearance, but looked like an ordinary man who expected his lover to respond positively.The emperor's short-lived tenderness is probably like this.Fu Zhenhong raised his eyes, looked at Amenhote/Pu IV and said, "Why are you doing this?"
”After Amenhot/P IV said this, he was relieved in his heart, he knew that this was Nefertiti's consent."
Whatever it means."
Fu Zhenhong said again."
The meaning, until the end, no one will know."
Amenhot/P IV was surprisingly stubborn in this matter.Fu Zhenhong said with a cold face: "I don't like you, this will not change." ”Amenhot/Pu IV smiled, he stretched out his hand, and his warm fingertips gently brushed Fu Zhenhong's blonde hair hanging down his sideburns, and then saw Fu Zhenhong's brow furrowed, and after Fu Zhenhong avoided it, he withdrew his hand first.He put his finger to the tip of his nose and sniffed, as if there was still the faint fragrance of Fu Zhen's red hair, "Nefertiti, it's too early to say this." ”After finishing speaking, he walked up to Fu Zhenhong and held Fu Zhenhong's hand.Because he agreed to Amenhote/P IV's bet, he paid Zhenhong and withdrew his hand.Amenhot/Pu IV smiled at Fu Zhenhong, and then interlocked his fingers with Fu Zhenhong's five fingers."
Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
Amenhot/Pu IV said mysteriously.Fu Zhenhong subconsciously asked, "Where to go?"
”Amenhot/Pu IV sold Guanzi: "You will know." ”After Amenhot/P IV finished speaking, he led Fu Zhenhong out of the queen's palace and went all the way to the most central place of the palace of Dibis.After passing through a long corridor, Fu Zhenhong's eyes were greeted by a sea of flowers that were two meters high.The color of these flowers is a uniform goose yellow color, and the shape of the petals is similar to that of a lotus flower, but the □□ is very long, and it looks very slender and soft.This is the Qizi flower, which is specially used to make heat-dispelling "medicine", and it is also the flower that the priests need, which can be crushed into juice and sprinkled on the divination plate, which is the key to divination and blessing for the people.Looking at these Qizi flowers, Fu Zhenhong remembered an incident in the past two years, the seeds of Qizi flowers in Thebes were purchased in large quantities by unknown people, which led to the purchase of corresponding supplies by the priesthood class of Amun, and finally lost a large part of the believers who went to pray for blessings.Shi Fu Zhenhong remembered that Kahler sent someone to thoroughly investigate an unknown person, but the final result was not satisfactory, and then things did not go wrong.Perhaps the high priest of Amun, Calle, suspected Amenhot/P IV, but for various reasons, the investigation could only be suspended.Fu Zhenhong probably guessed the reason why Amenhot/Pu IV did this, and the growing priestly class of Amun had seriously affected the consolidation of the royal power of the Fa.It is also very clear from the information obtained by the Time Authority that Amenhot/Pürth IV has been trying to find a variety of ways to weaken the priesthood of Amun since he succeeded to the throne."
You want to recentralize the divided royal power in your hands?"
Fu Zhenhong withdrew the hand that had been held and looked at Amenhot/P IV."
Yes."
Amenhot/P IV replied, he looked back at Fu Zhenhong, and a flash of appreciation flashed in his eagle-like sharp eyes: "Nefertiti, you really know everything. ”Fu Zhenhong responded to Amenhote/Pu IV's words, but retracted his gaze, looked at Fang's large sea of flowers, and said, "These flowers alone can't change anything. ”Amenhot/P IV also looked at the flowers: "I know," he said, "that I want to change in essence." ”"Is it essential," Fu Zhenhong paused.Amenhot/P-IV asked rhetorically: "Nefertiti, don't you think the name Amenhot/P-IV is too cumbersome?"
”At this point, Amenhot/P's voice became softer, as if he was recalling something: "I inherit the throne of Amenhot/P-III, and at the same time inherit the situation in which the power of the royal family is becoming more and more weakened. ”"Take?
Do you want to change your name?
”"Hmm."
Amenhot/P IV asked Fu Zhenhong: "Nefertiti, what do you think of Ekhnaton?"
From the servant of Amun to the radiant soul of Aten. ”Fu Zhenhong said: "Aren't you worried that I will tell Kahler all this?"
”"Will you?"
Amenhot/Pu IV asked, and after speaking, without waiting for Fu Zhenhong to answer, he said to himself: "My consciousness has always been very accurate, even if you don't like me now, but you are already the queen, you and I will have the same philosophy." ”"Nefertiti, I need your trust to bring you here and be honest with me."
