Chapter 203 The fourth issue of the canonization of the consort (Part 1)
"Uncle Renxian Wang."
Through Li Ruliu's shout, Jiang Xia immediately realized that the man in front of him was King Renxian, one of the "Three Kings".
Jiang Xia thought it was a coincidence. He didn't expect that in two days after arriving in Annan, the three kings themselves had already met.
Li Junren nodded and said, "Since you left, princess, the king has always been thinking about you very much. Hurry up and go back to the palace to visit your father."
"Okay." Li Ruliu nodded calmly. Judging from the tone and expression of the conversation between the two, Li Junren doesn't look like the person who just sent a killer to attempt to kill Li Ruliu, and Li Ruliu doesn't look like the person who almost was assassinated by Li Junren.
The two of them politely talked to each other and left by mistake. Li Ruliu continued to walk towards the palace accompanied by Li Tianyou.
Shenglong Mansion is not big, and it is probably not as big as that of the capital. However, this place is the capital of Annan Kingdom after all, there are many pedestrians and hawkers passing through the streets, which looks quite prosperous.
Since Bu Jinyun and the others were not convenient to follow Jiang Xia to enter the palace, Li Tianyou first placed them in his palace. Only Jiang Xia and Li Ruliu entered the palace.
Although the Annan Palace is not as wide and magnificent as the Ming Dynasty Palace, when Jiang Xia walked into the palace, he could feel that this place was also built imitating the layout of the Central Plains palace.
In the middle of the palace is a central axis, and then the middle road is a palace, with neatly arranged palace areas on both sides.
Li Ruliu, who had changed into gorgeous clothes and re-dressed up, took Jiang Xia and walked quickly towards the king's bedroom.
Finally arrived at the king's bedroom. Six palace guards guarding the door of the bedroom saw Li Ruliu on one knee and immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "See Your Majesty the Princess."
Li Ruliu threw down a sentence: "No gift." Then he pushed open the palace gate of the king's bedroom, and Jiang Xia quickly followed.
The king's bedroom should be full of spices, but what Jiang Xia smelled after walking in was a strong smell of medicine.
Walking out of the main hall, Jiang Xia finally saw the legendary His Majesty the King.
On the dragon bed, the king closed his eyes, and two palace maids were massaging him with familiar meridians. A doctor who looked like an imperial doctor was frowning and watching the king's situation. There was also a beautiful mature woman sitting not far from the dragon bed. It was obvious that the beautiful woman was the queen.
Even if a person who does not understand medicine can tell that the king's situation is very bad. His face is a little black, and his flesh and blood are as if he is withered.
His life is coming soon. Jiang Xia gave the king such a conclusion in his heart.
When the palace maids and imperial doctors in the palace saw Li Ruliu coming in, they immediately saluted her and said in Annan: "See Your Highness the Princess."
"No gift." Li Ruliu waved her hands, then hurried to the king's dragon couch to watch the king's condition.
If the king hadn't breathed faintly at this moment, Jiang Xia would have suspected that he was dead. Li Ruliu, who had always been calm, finally couldn't help but get excited at this moment. Her beautiful eyes were filled with crystal tears, and tears fell down in the blink of an eye.
The queen snorted coldly and said in Annan: "There are really no rules. Do you not know how to greet the queen when she sees her mother?"
Li Ruliu turned around and looked at the queen. She walked to the back and knelt down and saluted, "Son Master, see the queen."
The queen glanced at Jiang Xia, pointed directly at Jiang Xia and asked, "Who is he? Why did she take him into the palace and into your father's bedroom!"
"She is the son-in-law chosen by the son-in-law." Li Ruliu said very simply.
"The prince consort you chose?" The queen was slightly stunned, then sneered: "What a joke. When can you choose a prince consort for yourself? Your prince consort should be appointed by the king. If the king cannot, it should be the mother-in-law of my palace to choose for you."
After saying that, the queen looked at Jiang Xia and changed to Chinese and said, "I will choose the prince consort for you. Don't worry, I will never choose him as the prince consort. How could a Han man be my prince consort in Annan?"
Jiang Xia smiled slightly, but was not angry. He smiled and said to the queen, "Queen, is it a national or a family matter to choose the princess for His Highness?"
"Of course it's a family matter." said the queen.
Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "I don't think so. His Majesty the King has only Princess Annan, so the chosen prince consort should be the heir of King Annan. Then, choosing a prince consort for Princess Annan should be considered the national affairs.
The queen is just the king's wife, not the king, so how can she participate in the national political discussion? And now the king is still alive, the queen said that she would never choose me as her son-in-law. I wonder if the queen has ever considered the king's intention? I wonder if the queen has ever thought that the king would not be able to do anything to him, and he would be better. Could it be that the queen thinks that the king is not going to be well?"
"You" Queen immediately concluded.
Everyone knows that the king will definitely be in the near future, but I can only think about it in my heart, and it cannot be said in public no matter what. Jiang Xia said something that forced the queen to say, and she looked at Jiang Xia coldly.
Jiang Xia suddenly said to Li Ruliu: "Princess, did you see a hen in the palace of Xiaoyao just now, with a bad temper and rushing to peck at a big dog in the palace?"
Li Ruliu was slightly stunned. She didn't even realize what Jiang Xia meant, because she didn't see the scene Jiang Xia said. How could a hen run around in the dignified Xiaoyao Palace?
However, Li Ruliu nodded and said, "I saw it, that hen is so powerful."
She just followed Jiang Xia and Jiang Xia took the words and said, "Princess, do you know why that hen is so powerful?"
"I don't know." Li Ruliu shook her head and said.
Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said, "The housekeeper in the palace told me that the hen could not lay eggs, so he had a very bad temper. I was wondering whether female beasts who could not lay eggs were very cruel and had a very bad temper."
"Puchi" Li Ruliu, who has always been extremely polite, finally couldn't help laughing.
The queen was furious, and she slapped the table beside her and said, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Xia was stunned and said, "Queen, I am just talking about a hen in the Xiaoyao Palace. Have you offended you? Could that hen be given to King Xiaoyao by the Queen?"
"You" the queen's chest kept rising and falling. She said coldly: "I will never let you be the prince consort, absolutely not."
"But I think he is very good, but Annan likes him very much, so I decided to let him be the prince consort."
Suddenly, a weak voice came, and the terminally ill king actually sat up hard.
Li Ruliu shouted in surprise: "Father!"
The king shook his head according to Li Ruliu's hand and said, "Immediately call the six ministers into the palace for me, and I will enthrone the prince-consort now."
