The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 936 is also a feast~ (Thanks to Youhua for the reward~)

After waiting for a long time, the Suzaku Gate finally opened.

After standing there and waiting for several hours, Aqilaya finally followed her grandmother and walked towards the tall imperial city.

Following the actions of these foreign countries, the people standing on the tall buildings on both sides watching the excitement also started chattering along.

"It's moving, it's moving!"

Xiao Liulang looked at the slowly moving team below with excitement. He leaned out to look while holding the railing and shouting loudly.

Li Sanlang stood behind Xiao Liulang and pulled his belt to prevent him from falling accidentally.

Mrs. Li, mother and father Li sat at a round table by the window, drinking tea and looking at the crowded street below.

"Liu Lang! Be careful and don't lean out!"

After being scolded by Mrs. Li, Xiao Liulang gave up the idea of ​​climbing onto the railing and had to follow Li Sanlang's strength to carefully climb down from the railing.

Seeing that Xiao Liulang was still not satisfied, Luzhuer stood up and shouted to him, "Liulang, come to my side. You can see farther from here."

As the team started moving, their speed increased a lot. After half an hour, Aqilaya and her two teams arrived at the entrance of Suzaku Gate.

Aqilaya looked up at the vermilion gate. The shock she felt from this huge imperial city gate was even greater than when she was at the gate of Chang'an City.

Maybe it was because the glazed tiles on the city wall that were shining in the sun were dazzling, or maybe it was because the Jinwu guards wearing golden armor and riding tall horses beside her were intimidating. All these made little Aqilaya feel deeply shocked.

There were tables and chairs at the entrance of Suzaku Gate, and officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple, wearing official robes and hats, were busy. One place was checking the list of people going to the palace banquet, and the other was recording the list of gifts presented as tribute by the vassal states and tribes.

The dark-skinned tribesmen wearing colorful feathers in front of Aqilaya and her group actually had a conflict with the officials from the Ministry of Rites. At that moment, Aqilaya felt that the Jinwu Guards standing on both sides of the city gate seemed to be looking over here.

In fact, it was not a conflict. It was just that the official from the Ministry of Rites wanted to lift the red cloth to see what the tribute was so that he could record it and call out the names when the time came to present it before the emperor.

But this small tribe was not allowed to unveil the red cloth. How were the officials from the Ministry of Rites to keep records?

Doesn't this create a contradiction?
Fortunately, the officials of the Honglu Temple were experienced and after much discussion they came up with a compromise. They first carried the items carried by eight people in through the side door. After the officials of the Honglu Temple checked them and confirmed that they were not dangerous items, they whispered to the officials of the Ministry of Rites to make a note of it.

In this way, only a few people have seen the tribute, which ensures both safety and surprise.

Finally it was Aqilaya and her friends' turn. After opening the box carried by two people, the officials from the Ministry of Rites were surprised to see the golden treasures inside.

The tribute items from these vassal states and tribes were mostly precious items from their origins, such as medicinal materials like ginseng and deer antlers, as well as precious gems, spices, rare animals, etc. However, it was very rare for the Rupohe tribe to directly pay tribute with gold, so this was a bit surprising.

However, the officer was only surprised for a moment, and then he nodded to the soldier who opened the box. The soldier didn't seem surprised at all, and he stepped forward to count the things very naturally, then closed the box and reported a number to the officer.

After the official picked up his pen and wrote it down on the gift list, he nodded to the headwoman and looked behind Aqilaya and the others.

After entering the city gate, Aqilaya held her grandmother's hand tightly, and after many twists and turns, they were led to a hall.

“Dear guests, please take a rest here for a while. Someone will come to inform you before the banquet begins.

If you want to change clothes, please find a maid to lead the way."

After sitting down, Aqilaya dared to pick up the water bag at her waist. She didn't dare to drink too much, but after taking two sips to quench her thirst, she put the water bag back. The headwoman was cautious and didn't dare to touch the teacup on the table. She only grabbed the water bag at her waist and drank two sips.

The three of them were surrounded by the sound of various ethnic languages, so they dared not speak too loudly. They just put their heads together and whispered in their own language.

"Grandma, how come there is so much gold!"

"I only realized how prosperous this place is after coming to Chang'an. If we want our Po He tribe to compete with the Moling tribe, we have to look for better gifts. After all, the ones we brought here are really not presentable.

Jenna and I walked around and around, and finally decided to donate all the gold we brought this time!

I believe the Emperor of Tang will show some sympathy to us because of our sincerity."

Li Sanniang and the officials walked for more than half an hour and finally arrived at the Taiji Palace. Today's banquet would be mainly held in the Taiji Hall of the Taiji Palace.

Of course, with so many people coming, including royal relatives, ministers and officials, the Taiji Hall would not be able to accommodate them all no matter how big it was.

Therefore, powerful and larger small countries could sit in the Taiji Hall to see the emperor's face, and those who were more capable could have a seat in other halls such as the Liangyi Hall and the Chengqing Hall.

If you eat larger, you can only sit on the steps outside the main hall to eat.

Of course, it doesn’t really mean that people eat on the steps. They just find a flat area outside the hall and put a table.

A small country like Zhenla could get a seat on the side of the Liangyi Hall, while a powerful tribe like the Eastern Turks could get a seat near the front of the Taiji Hall.

Fifth-rank officials like Li Sanniang are considered the backbone of the court, and each of them holds real power.

Li Sanniang was a female official, so she would receive some preferential treatment. Not only could she have a meal in the Taiji Hall today, but she might even be able to sit with Princess Qingyang.

This depends on whether Princess Qingyang is attending today as a princess or as the chief imperial physician.

If she attended as a princess, she would naturally have to sit at the side with the royal family. In this case, Li Sanniang would naturally not be able to go.
But if it was in terms of the identity of the chief imperial physician, then both of them belonged to the same Imperial Medical Bureau, they were both women, and they had worked together before, so they could naturally sit together.

In the Ganlu Hall of the Taiji Palace, Li Sanniang and everyone else listened to an official from the Ministry of Rites explain today's procedures. He told them where they should be, who to call if anything happened, how to handle it, and so on.

As a result of this delay, by the time Li Sanniang had time to sit down and rest, it was already past lunch time.

The banquet will not start until mid-afternoon, and it is estimated that it will not start until the evening.

Li Sanniang already had experience, so she picked up the purse hanging around her waist and wanted to take out a piece of candy to eat. She was afraid that she would have hypoglycemia if she didn't eat something.

As soon as the candy entered her mouth, she chewed it with a crunching sound, and it was gone in a few breaths.

However, after a while, a palace servant brought in a plate. Li Sanniang looked at the plate of dry snacks on the table, thought for a while, and then raised her hand to pick up a piece to eat.

She was really hungry and really needed some sugar.

Just as she was eating happily with her head down, Li Sanniang saw a corner of the scarlet official robe. She raised her head and saw the handsome face of Mr. Bu Ke.
