Aztec Eternals

The baby's cries sounded in the stone house, Alisa's expression changed instantly, and her movements also stopped. She rushed to the house in a hurry, and when she came out again, there was already a baby with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain in her arms.

"Oh! The Lord God bless Xiao Xiuhua. Xiao Xiuhua don't cry, mom will feed you."

Alyssa hugged Xiuhua carefully, with a gentle maternal radiance on her face. At this moment, the vivaciousness of the young girl faded from her reddish face, while the grace and demureness of the young woman were revealed in her gestures.

A pure elf, dancing among the clouds and flowers, until she became a mother for the first time, and gradually transformed into a dignified image of the Mother Earth Goddess. Two maids trotted forward, helping on the left and right, with respect naturally showing on their faces.

"Praise the Lord God! What a strong Son of God!"

"That's right! Look at his sucking movements, he is so powerful, he looks like a divine little jaguar!"

Hearing this, Alyssa blushed. She looked at Xiao Xiuhua who was sucking hard, and lightly stroked that wrinkled, red face, her eyebrows and eyes were the same as Xiulot's when she was a child.

"Oh! It's really like your father, and he eats hard."

Alyssa was feeding the child, her cheeks were hot, and she didn't know what to think of. It wasn't until Xiuhua was full that he opened his big round eyes and kept quiet. Alyssa carried the child again, returned to the house, and sang nursery rhymes that would put her to sleep.

"A child of the earth, in his mother's arms, grows healthy. He will grow tall like a cocoa tree, he will be tough like a prickly pear, he will grow strong like a jaguar, and he will be like a condor... tall Flying above the sky, chasing after the father of the sun!"

The beautiful singing voice is full of tenderness, and there is a kind of anticipation and firmness in the tenderness. Xiao Xiuhua was in Alisha's arms, slowly falling asleep, snoring cutely. Alyssa hugged her quietly for a while, until her arms were sore, she put her son on the small wooden bed filled with cotton cloth.

"Praise the Lord God! Give me a healthy child. Please bless him to grow up."

Alyssa prayed silently for a while, then turned her head and gave the maid a stern look. The maid hurriedly nodded, expressing that she would always be by His Highness's side.

Alyssa left the stone house and came to another wooden house next to her. Using the technique of a pharmacist, she skillfully prepared a cup of refreshing herbal tea. Then, she unfolded a piece of wear-resistant bark paper, picked up a quill, and wrote a reply to Xiulot.

"Sholot, I have received your letter. I am very happy. I danced two dances by the lake, both of which I newly composed. I want to show you the dance. Bad monkey, you will not be able to hold it Yes, Xiuhua is very healthy and energetic, with the same expression on his face, just like when you were a child."

With a smile, the young mother wrote homework, and with a few simple strokes, drew a small picture. In the small painting there is a small baby, leaning on the arms of a small woman. The woman then holds the baby on the shoulder of the older man. Finally, she thought about it again, and drew three stars on their heads.

Alyssa looked at her small painting and nodded in satisfaction. Then, she unfolded another piece of bark paper, and her expression became serious.

".Father ascended to the highest place, and the high priests in the capital bowed their heads to him. Several decrees were made in the palace to reduce the power of the great nobles, tribute, Dingkou, warriors, and inheritance. Father's determination to centralize power is unshakable. The distance The alliance states within two hundred and forty miles of the capital city in the lake must be brought under the direct control step by step."

"In the past few months, several elders of the royal family have appealed to the king, and old ladies from various states have complained in various parts of the capital. My father ignored them, but the royal family and nobles were also somewhat chaotic. These government affairs, I don't quite understand, but I can clearly feel that the hearts of the nobles are shaking. The immortal elder has passed away, and my father's prestige is still far away from the elder, so the only way to suppress the alliance is by force."

Writing this, Alyssa was a little worried. She sighed, and drew a tall sacred tree, and under the sacred tree was a field of corn. And on the corn, a few flames were burning.

"I always feel that my father is a little too anxious. Shulot, as you said, a small flame may also ignite a big tree. And by his side, the only one who can always support him is you."

Alyssa stopped her pen, fell silent for a while, and then wrote some recent major events in the capital.

"Not long ago, the young Montezuma II just married the daughter of the Feather Goose family. The Silver Crow tribe of Vastec also sent their daughter to be engaged to the little Kuitlahuak. As for the little Chimalpili The high priests and the nobles of the royal family have reached an agreement. There will be a large number of nobles in each state, and they will be transferred to the land of Tlaxcala in the east, especially from the three states in the west, Suanmu City, Jinshan City and Sun City. nobles of the city."

"Father recruited warriors in the capital to supplement the battle losses of the various royal legions, and also promoted many generals who were born as minor nobles and civilian warriors. As a large number of spoils from the Eastern Expedition flowed into the capital, the sales of gems in the lake also doubled. According to the priest of the Goddess of Spring, the slave market in the capital is overcrowded, and all kinds of luxuries are very popular, but the food in the capital is in short supply, and the price of corn cakes is also rising.”

After writing this, Alyssa lowered her eyes, pondered for a while, and her expression became serious. A moment later, at the end of the letter, she wrote down her thoughts and blessings to her wife.

"Sholot, my only love. You are the tall sacred tree, and I am the entangled branches. The Lord God will bless you and stand on the sacred mountain in the east! May you return in victory as soon as possible, with dewy flowers and new life My little tree is waiting for you."

Alyssa picked up the letter, and gently left a rouge hickey on the other side of the blank. Then, she put down her pen, summoned a maid, and gave instructions in a low voice.

"Go, invite the person in charge of the nearby Temple of the Goddess of Spring, the respected Priestess Aqiya."

"Follow you, princess."

The maid turned around and hurried away. Around the holy mountain, there is not only an ancient sun temple, but also an important temple of the goddess of spring. The temple of the Goddess of Spring has always been managed by a line of priestesses. And in every city-state, there are large and small goddess temples and shrines, even more than the Temple of Rain.

For the Goddess Priests, although there is no priest or elder who speaks for them in the High Priests, their relationship with the royal family has always been very close, and their influence among the warriors is astonishing.

Because, according to the alliance's traditions and Islamic law, adulterers are punished by death, and prostitutes on the surface are not allowed to exist. The only thing that allows warriors to obtain daily happiness is the priestesses of the temples everywhere.

"Praise the supreme Lord God! Aqiya salutes you, respected Princess Alyssa!"

A few quarters of an hour later, a priestess in her thirties appeared in the stone house with a sincere smile on her face. She was wearing a colorful cloak, with gem-studded girdles on her hands and feet, and only a short jacket that barely covered her body. She bowed her head to salute the respected eldest princess, revealing her astonishing plumpness, and Alyssa raised her brows when she looked directly at it.

"By the way, I also pay tribute to the revered Spirit of Light and the divine Little Highness Xiuhua!"

Aqiya rolled his eyes, then turned slightly, and saluted the stone house where Xiuhua was. After completing these etiquettes, she raised her head and looked at the eldest princess Alyssa who was sitting upright and silent with a serious expression.

"Dear princess, I don't know if you asked me to come. Do you have any orders that I need to do?"

"Well. Aqiya, I not only need you, but also the priests of the Goddess of Spring to do something for me!"

Alyssa spoke gently, but there was a bit of sharpness in her brows and eyes. Both her father and her husband are the supreme kings, she has been influenced by her ears and eyes, and she grows up day by day, gradually transforming from a pure white magnolia to a majestic dahlia. At this moment, she was in the stone house, sitting on a low wooden bench, but it seemed like she was sitting high in a temple.

"After returning from the Eastern Expedition, there were many warrior casualties in the capital. Their pensions have been issued, but they will be much more difficult after all without a male in the family. A lot of loot poured into the capital, and the prices of corn and pumpkins have increased by more than half."

"Aqiya, I will take out a large amount of gemstones and cotton cloth from the lake in exchange for food and supplies, and additionally support the fallen warriors in the capital city, and provide relief to women, children, the elderly and the weak in various communities. And these things should be as far as possible. In the hands of the warrior family and the women and children of the community, you still have to rely on the help of your goddess priests!"

Hearing this, Priestess Aqiya was startled. She looked surprised, carefully looked at Alisha's serious expression, and then said with a smile.

"Dear Princess, is this the will of His Majesty the King, or the will of His Highness Xiulot?"

"No, this is my will."

Alyssa's eyes were bright and firm, and her expression was a little more majestic. Ever since Xiuhua was born, she has had an extra burden in her heart, which is leading her changes all the time.

".Follow you, revered eldest princess. You are the enlightened star, hanging high above the night sky, inheriting the god of death and the sun!"

After a few breaths, Priestess Aqiya pursed her lips and bowed her head respectfully to accept the order. Strictly speaking, in the capital, Princess Alyssa's status is only below that of a handful of people. In the hands of the eldest princess, there is also the huge profit from the gem trade, as well as the hands left by the king and His Royal Highness.

If you have status, money, and people, you can do things and do great things. Now, when the Eldest Princess decides to seize her power and do a legitimate and important event, there are very few people who can say no in person.

Priestess Aqiya bowed down, and Princess Alyssa accepted the gift calmly. Her eyes were calm, imitating her father and husband, and sternly exhorted.

"Aqiya, this is the first time that I have cooperated with the priestesses of your goddess line. I will send supervisors to monitor the situation of the relief. Don't let me down!"

"The female priests will run for your will and will never disobey it. We are much more frugal than the priests of the main gods in all countries!"

Priestess Aqiya smiled and answered quietly. Alyssa also nodded and said no more. For specific affairs, she will naturally arrange personal guards to take charge and handover.

The two chatted for a while, and made an appointment to go to the temple of the goddess of spring to pray for blessings after a few days. At that time, the older priestesses of the Goddess of Spring will gather in the hall to meet the Eldest Princess. Before leaving, Priestess Aqiya hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Princess, is this relief and relief in the name of the king or His Highness, or in your name?"

Alyssa's bright eyes flickered, she thought for a moment, and noticed a subtle difference. After a while, she shook her head with a smile and made a decision.

"Neither, neither is good. Let it be in the name of Xiao Xiuhua!"

"Yes! The eldest princess is wise."

Priestess Aqiya bowed again and took her leave respectfully. Alyssa watched Aqiya's back with scorching eyes, as if tasting dewy flowers for the first time, her spirits were uplifted.

"Maybe, I can do more things. For my Shulot, and even more for my son"

"Wow! Wow!."

The crisp crying sounded again from the nearby stone house. Alyssa's expression was confused, and the majesty of the eldest princess disappeared instantly. She was in a hurry and hurried to the next door, not even having time to change her shoes. And a cup of brewed herbal tea was quietly placed on the table, next to it was a rolled letter and a folded jacket, which still had an aroma.
