Chapter 491 The Queen's Priest
"Nie Yao...Nie Yao..."
Nie Yao was awakened by a series of distant calls. The voice seemed to come from far away, echoing in her ears.
She couldn't help but look up, looking in the direction of the sound, frowning and whispering, "Who is calling me?"
No one answered her.
Nie Yao looked around and saw only a thick fog, but the voice calling her name never stopped.
She was very sensitive to sounds and could tell at first glance that the voice calling her came from a woman, and should be a gentle woman, but this woman's voice was gentle and unfamiliar, and she had no impression of it.
Nie Yao subconsciously walked towards the direction where the sound came from, slowly passing through the fog, and found that she seemed to have stepped into a long corridor, filled with a pleasant smell of high-quality perfume everywhere.
Along with it, the bell-like laughter of several girls came into my ears.
"Do you think Her Majesty the Queen will summon us today?"
"I don't think so. Her Majesty the Queen is very busy today and should rest early..."
"Will the High Priest still meet Her Majesty the Queen today? He's been coming here almost every night lately..."
"Hush, this matter is not something we ladies can discuss casually. Please be quiet, or you will disturb Her Majesty the Queen and you will all be punished!"
"Anyway, let's just wait quietly. If Her Majesty the Queen really wants to see us, she'll send a maid to summon us..."
Nie Yao widened her eyes in surprise as she looked at the girls' attire and discovered that they were wearing linen wrap dresses with their arms exposed, making them look very cool.
The girls' hair was braided, and they wore delicate hair accessories and necklaces around their necks, showing that their status was not low.
Nie Yao approached quietly, and seeing that the girls seemed unable to see her, she bravely walked forward along the corridor, and then entered a large and exquisite room.
The smell of incense became stronger, and two Egyptian maids came out of the room carrying trays.
"Once the blueprint of the temple is drawn up, we can order people to start construction..." The woman sitting in front of the dressing table, wearing a white long dress, whispered.
Because her back was facing Nie Yao, Nie Yao couldn't see her appearance clearly, but judging from her posture and the long skirt made of better fabric than the one used by female officials, she must be of noble status.
"Don't you want to confirm it again?" A man's voice suddenly came, deep and powerful.
Nie Yao looked up and saw that after several maids in the room had left, a sturdy man wearing a priest's hat slowly walked out from the shadows of the room.
"Senmut, with you here, I don't need to confirm again. I believe you!" The woman took off her necklace and earrings, stood up and walked towards the man with light steps and a smile on her face.
Nie Yao was shocked when she heard the name. Senmut, this name was too familiar...
During the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, the most important priest beside the female pharaoh Hatshepsut possessed almost all the skills in one person!
This priest was not only the Pharaoh's tutor when she was a princess, but also the chief engineer of the Dar Bahri Temple, the high priest of the Temple of Amun in Karnak, and later the chief steward of the Pharaoh. He was almost the most respected person during the Pharaoh's reign, except for this Pharaoh...
So the ancient Egyptian noblewoman she saw now was none other than the famous female pharaoh Hatshepsut?
Nie Yao couldn't help but widen her eyes in excitement and took a few steps towards the female pharaoh in a white dress.
He thought they couldn't see him, but the female pharaoh, who was originally facing him sideways, seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around and asked in a deep voice, "Who?"
At this moment, Nie Yao also met the eyes of the female pharaoh. For a moment, she even forgot to breathe and just stood there blankly.
The queen had already finished washing and had no makeup on her face, which made her facial features look even more dignified and beautiful, making Nie Yao unable to help but take a few more glances at her.
Wait, why did she feel that the more she looked at this famous female pharaoh, her face actually looked somewhat similar to Li Jinxing's mother?
Did she misremember the appearance of Li Jinxing's mother, or did she recognize the wrong person, and the woman in front of her was not the female Pharaoh Hatshepsut?
Nie Yao couldn't help rubbing her eyes when she thought of this. She looked back, and the queen in front of her frowned slightly as if she had noticed Nie Yao's presence. "You——"
"Hass, what's wrong?" The priest Senmut beside him seemed to have noticed the queen's abnormality and asked hurriedly with concern.
"There is someone in the room..." The female pharaoh pointed in the direction of Nie Yao, and Senmut also looked in the direction of her finger. His sharp and deep eyes also looked straight at Nie Yao.
