From Concubine to Pharaoh [Transmigration Book]

Elysee finally overcomes narcolepsy.

After all, although her spirit body is always running around, there is not a day when she can take a good rest.But her body sleeps in the royal palace of Memphis every day.

As a result, she no longer longed for sleep so much, but her waist gradually became bloated, and her close-fitting clothing began to need to be changed in size.

Even the people around Alixi felt that the princess needed to move her muscles and bones frequently, so she couldn't always fall asleep like this.Nanna and Urania took turns trying to persuade Elyse to leave the palace.

Being able to walk out of the palace, walk in the streets of Memphis, and go boating on the calm river, Erich finally began to feel more energetic every day.

But the great priest's wife loved her daughter dearly, so she simply found a house near the palace to live temporarily so that she could take care of her daughter nearby.

She would send a clay pot of pigeon soup into the palace every day, and she had to watch Erich eat it bit by bit before she could leave in peace.

Erich felt very sorry for these supposedly cute meat pigeons.But helplessly, the great priest's wife's culinary skills are outstanding. A can of clear soup without any spices and only sprinkled with salt tastes extraordinarily fragrant and delicious, leaving a fragrance on the teeth and cheeks.One can a day, Alicia never gets tired of eating.

And at this time, there is always a warm and harmonious scene in the palace:

The great priest's wife had a motherly smile all over her face.And Alicia ate all the nourishing delicacies one by one, while the well-behaved personal maid Urania was joking aside, while the head maid Nanna kept a serious face and guarded the vicinity with full armor.

However, even though the great priest's wife is eager to love her daughter, she will occasionally say something unpleasant.

For example, she would say to Alicia: "Drink all the soup obediently, so that the little prince in your stomach will grow up strong in the future and will not be afraid of diseases."

Alicia couldn't help but frowned——

Doesn't she have the right to enjoy delicious food?Do you have to drink it for the cub?

But Erich can understand the mood of the great priest's wife to a certain extent: five children were born, three died, and only two survived to adulthood. Of course, this lady hopes that her grandson can lay a good foundation in the mother's womb, ward off disease.

It's just that the delicious soup in the mouth seems to have become a little tasteless.

So Alicia put down the wooden spoon and said deliberately: "Who said it has to be a boy? I'd say it's a girl, a beautiful girl like me."

This is the response that best suits the original persona: proud, brainless, and vain.

When the priest's wife heard this, she was so nervous that she almost jumped up. She immediately looked around and found that there was no outsider here, and there were Erich's confidants on the left and right.

The lady immediately turned to Ai Lixi, hissed, and then lowered her voice and said: "No, good girl... Your Royal Highness, you must not say such a thing."

"The whole of Egypt is looking forward to your being able to add a little prince to His Majesty."

"According to the prophecy obtained by the high priest's divination, your child will be an Egyptian pharaoh in the future—"

"If you say something very disrespectful, if something happens to your majesty, the best way out for you in the future is to act as the regent in the capacity of the queen mother."

"Especially at this juncture, you must strive to give birth to a little prince not for the sake of those around you, even if it is only for yourself..."

The great priest's wife spoke so sincerely that her eyes were almost red.

She emphasized that at this juncture, she almost told Erich: Pharaoh left Memphis suddenly for a woman, and he must have found another lover; the only thing you can rely on is the child in your belly.

Alicia pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were cold, she stared at the priest's wife until she lowered her head embarrassingly.

She didn't want to say that the sex of the child was actually determined by the father-the ancient people 3000 years away from the modern society did not understand this.

What annoyed her was that Mrs. High Priest herself had preconceived and cut off the idea that women could also step up to the front stage and make a difference——

Even if she was able to become the Queen Mother and gain power, she was relying on her son's power.

And what Ailixi promises to the gods and must be fulfilled is that she herself becomes the pharaoh-this line must not be shaken.

So it's not too much to speculate.Alicia slowly looked away and said, "I don't want to hear these words anymore."

"If you want to say it, please forgive me and I won't entertain you in the palace in the future."

She went back to her original character who was incomparably arrogant, the kind who turned her face if she disagreed with her.

As the biological mother, the great priest's wife had no choice but to nod in panic.

But in order to stop this lady from thinking too much all day long, Elyse decided to find something for her to do, and also help herself a little by the way.

So she changed her tone and said softly, "I heard that Pharaoh has arrived in Tanis."

This was the news she had already learned from Biola's prayers.But people in Memphis mostly only heard of it after the Harvest Festival celebrations were over and the splicing monster Brellin's influence faded away.

The great priest's wife showed embarrassment and nodded stiffly.

"But I heard that someone under the High Priest is helping to send a letter to Pharaoh from Memphis?"

Erich stirs the remaining soup in the clay bowl with a wooden spoon carved from fine fir wood.

"There is such a thing, the great priest has never mentioned it to me!"

The great priest's wife stood up suddenly, as if she was shocked that her good husband could do such a thing in private.

"His Royal Highness, I will go to the great priest to ask for confirmation, and I must give you a clear answer."

And the great priest and his wife were indeed efficient. In an instant, the person who sent the letter to Pharaoh had been found——

When the acting priest Sasha walked into the Memphis palace, even his calves were shaking.

He still couldn't forget the scene he saw in Saqqara - the princess could face the pharaoh without avoiding it, and the two were at least spiritually equal and equal.

As a clergyman and acting priest, Sasha knew very well how much courage it took to do so.

Similarly, Sasha is well aware of various prophecies and rumors related to the royal family.

That's why I immediately recognized the original mound as soon as I saw it, and said that prophecy in Pharaoh's ear——

Those who can open the eight original items will unify Upper and Lower Egypt.

But Sasha immediately regretted his quick talk: If the prophecy is true, and the princess happens to be the one who opened the original mound, then he chose the side of Pharaoh so early, wouldn’t it be a wrong bet? ?

Fortunately, the princess was assassinated by an assassin, and her life and death were uncertain.

Sasha immediately followed the pharaoh back to Memphis, although he thought deep down that as men, they all had a guilty conscience for leaving a lady in need behind.

After returning to Memphis, the pharaoh ordered a search for a strange woman with strange appearance, and hurried to Tanis on the lower reaches of the river.

But Sasha had a heart, did not go with him, but volunteered to stay, and promised to report the situation in Memphis to Pharaoh one by one.

Pharaoh did not say anything, but granted his request.

As soon as Pharaoh left, Sasha regretted again——

Yes, he is such a person who is easy to regret.After all, life is not easy. It is not easy for such a small person to climb to such a high position.

What Sasha regretted was: he forgot that he was just an acting priest, and above this position was the high priest Senmut who was the closest to God in the whole of Egypt.

Once the high priest comes back, he has nothing to represent, so he has to go back obediently, what should he do.

Who knows, the high priest Senmut has not come back?

And who knew that the first princess who had returned safely would allow him to stay in the acting position?

Thanks to the bright sun god Ra!

Thanks to Horus, the patron saint of the pharaohs!

Thank you Osiris, the god of fertility and the lord of the underworld, and Isis, the goddess of love and protection!

……

Sasha thanked every god, and he was especially grateful to the First Princess.

But at this moment, he bears the king's life on his back, so he has to pay attention to every move of Memphis, try his best to record it, and entrust the royal guards to send it to Pharaoh...

Who would have thought that after he reported some major events in Memphis to Pharaoh, the First Princess would soon find him through the High Priest.

Sasha?Of course he regretted it again.

Since the first princess was able to escape from the assassins smoothly and safely, to a certain extent, it shows that she may indeed have the future endowed by the prophecy. Why was he, Sasha, so honest back then, reporting all the big and small things that happened in Memphis? Let Pharaoh know?

At this moment, Sasha, the deputy priest, bowed his head on the cool ground of the Memphis palace, his guts turning green with regret.

Contrary to Sasha's expectation, Princess Elyse did not embarrass him, but asked in detail how he reported to Pharaoh and what was reported in the letter.

After hearing that he described in detail what happened to the royal treasury and what happened to the Temple of Osiris on the day of the Harvest Festival to the pharaoh guards, and briefly reported in a letter in a monk's style, the princess did not show any abnormalities .

Instead, she asked with interest: "I heard you can read and write monkish script?"

After Sasha nodded to confirm, the princess said: "You are a clergyman who was born as a commoner like the high priest Senmut. It is not easy to get to where you are today."

For a moment, Sasha felt something choked in his throat.

He couldn't respond for a moment.

He clearly remembered that after explaining his origin to Pharaoh Delos, Delos frowned obviously.

Sasha knew it was because he was not a nobleman, and the Pharaoh was not completely satisfied - but on the king's ship in a hurry to Saqqara, the Pharaoh couldn't find a replacement, so he could only be promoted temporarily.

However, the concubine's evaluation of him was - it was not easy!

These words rolled back and forth in Sasha's heart, his eyes were hot, as if something could gushe out at any time.

It is indeed not easy...

Few people have always been able to understand people like them, just like pebbles by the road and reeds by the river, each of them is mediocre and can be easily replaced...

And for people like them, how hard it is to earn a decent life step by step, how many people laugh at it, and if there is a slight mistake, they will never be able to stand up again.

The high priest Senmut mentioned in the princess's words is known to the world, and he has extraordinary talents.

And he Sasha did not.

Except that he is good at memorizing those stories and prophecies, he is completely just an ordinary person.

Therefore, every step he took was extremely difficult.

At this moment, Sasha was lying in front of the high-back chair where the First Princess was sitting, her forehead almost touching the ground.

He didn't dare to raise his head at all, for fear that he would completely lose control when he saw the princess's beautiful eyes.

Anyway, he is also a person who has gone through a lot of twists and turns before he is what he is today.

But just because of one sentence, tears almost spilled on the alabaster floor of the Memphis Palace.

"I have some attendants who are particularly good at counting. I transferred them to the Royal Treasurer a few days ago to help. Their ability is not a big problem, but because their background is not as good as those of the noble-born clerks in the treasury, their life is not easy. not too good."

"My lord acting priest, would you like to take care of them and help them?"

"I don't need you to do anything, I just need you to share a little experience and encourage them to try bravely and learn to master the complicated work and interpersonal relationship of the treasurer."

"Would you like to?"

Sasha didn't dare to get up for a long time, just lowered his head, and replied in a nasal voice: "It's a matter of duty."

When Sasha was so moved, Erich was also watching from the sidelines the acting priest who was temporarily promoted by Delos.

This is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his late forties. The hair on the top of his head is almost gone, his forehead is deeply wrinkled, and the smile lines around his eyes and mouth, which are formed by smiling all the year round, are also equally deep.

Thanks to Erich asking the priest in advance, she learned that this Sasha was not even 30 years old.

She witnessed Sasha being moved by her own words.

But she was silently weighing whether she could use this person.

Senmut flatly rejects her for his integrity and loyalty - which earns Erich's respect.

But Sasha... she worried that he would swing back to the Pharaoh any second later.

Another point that is not good for her is that Sasha is aggressive and reports everything that happened in Memphis to Pharaoh in detail, which may affect her plan.

Elyse originally wanted to finish all the arrangements in Memphis before the pharaoh came back.

Now the progress of the Royal Treasurer is a bit slower, and the pharaoh received the letter soon, which makes her likely to leave Memphis early.

But this is the end of the matter, and Erich is not going to sigh, or scold this ordinary person named Sasha in front of her-it's fun, but it's useless.

On the contrary, using Sasha's experience and ability wisely is probably the best way to deal with it.

Letting this Sasha help the attendants who entered the royal treasury, thereby breaking the monopoly of the nobles on the clerk industry, is the most upright thing, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Even if the pharaoh is standing in front of her now, Erich can still answer with a clear conscience: "It is best for Egypt to do so."

Tabac and the others she sent to the treasurer had sufficient math skills and a high IQ, but they needed to study hard to understand the various special symbols used for recording.

In this process, it is necessary to continue to fight wits and courage with the clerks in order to gradually master the various rhetoric and hidden rules in the Egyptian officialdom.

From this point of view, Sasha is a very good guide candidate anyway.

Even if Sasha falls back to Pharaoh in the future, Erich is not afraid, because what she did was not entirely for her own benefit.

As long as Pharaoh is not stupid, he should know what her efforts mean to the whole of Egypt.

At this moment, Alixi remained indifferent, and said to Sasha: "Tell the newcomers who entered the treasurer for me that only when they regard themselves as human beings can they truly be a good human being."

Alixie was inserted into the hands of the royal treasurer. Except for a few craftsmen who were originally from the craftsman village, the rest were the blood bars prepared for her by the wife of the great priest. Her self-esteem has been trampled to the bottom all the year round. It is very difficult to reverse the mentality and establish ambitions in a short period of time.

But fortunately, they have some successful precedents.

High Priest Senmut is one example, Sasha in front of him is another.

At this moment, Sasha sincerely said to Elyse: "His Royal Highness the First Princess, I will definitely bring this sentence of yours to you, and please allow me to take it as an encouragement to myself."

He bowed his body deeply to the ground and saluted. Knowing that Elyse allowed him to stand up, he stood up with his head down, and backed away without daring to look directly at Elyse.

After meeting Sasha, Alixi looked up to the ceiling of the main hall and thought: So, what is High Priest Senmut doing now?Is there anything he can do to help?

It couldn't be easier for her to get the answer.

Erich decisively logged into the Eye of Horus, and her face emerged from the broken walls of the Saqqara Palace without a sound.

Senmut sat on a collapsed stone pillar, which became a natural bench.

In the distance, the original mound seems to have disappeared, replaced by a high-backed chair with its back against the wall. The flat wall behind the chair should be the entrance and exit of the underground tomb marked with the sacred eye.

It seems that everything is gradually recovering, and the high priest seems to have completed the seal for the tomb of the former female pharaoh Nitocris.

Erich tilted her head slightly, and followed Senmut's eyes, and saw the high priest looking at the two walls.Written in chalk on each wall was a hieroglyph - Erich was unable to read.

But she has a good memory, carefulness and good eyesight.

Before transmigrating into the book, she had never lost in games like find the difference and find the difference.

Alixi looked left and right, and she actually found a problem: the text on the left and right walls seemed to be similar or even the same.

From the font point of view, the hieroglyphs on the left are complicated and delicate, while the pictographs on the right are more simplified.

Complicated and simplified text does not correspond exactly.But in Erich's view, there are several relatively complex characters on each side, and their arrangement order is exactly the same.

Erich guessed that those might be nouns or important ideograms.The word order of these words is consistent in both hieroglyphic and hieroglyphic scripts, whether in hieroglyphic or monastic script.

In this way, High Priest Senmut is comparing hieroglyphs and monks' hieroglyphs—is he trying to create a hieroglyph that ordinary people can also use?

Ailixi was thinking, when she suddenly heard a cheerful child's voice: "Master High Priest, Mr. High Priest, I have finished all the math problems you gave me, Dad asked me to invite you to dinner—"

When Senmut heard this voice, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face, as if he was infected by the innocent child.

He greeted: "Hansu—"

Just as he turned to Hunsu, the high priest happened to be facing Elysia who appeared silently on the ruined wall beside him.

Senmut immediately folded his hands, put them on his chest, and saluted Erich on the wall respectfully, just like when he first saw her in the Memphis palace.
