The next day, Jiang Yueyang went out yawning. Last night, she taught Gu Linger about the medical skills of blood transfusion all night.

If she wasn't rushing to the city gate to meet the foreign envoys, Gu Ling'er would have kept asking her questions in her ear.

More than two quarters of an hour later.

Jiang Yueyang, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Bai Zebai were waiting at the city gate on horseback.

Behind the three men were officials from the Honglu Temple and a team of imperial guards led by Deputy General Yin.

Not long after, two teams of people dressed in different clothes appeared at the city gate at the same time.

This situation made the Minister of the Ministry of Rites feel anxious.

As expected, the two teams each sent someone in to inquire about Daxia's opinion on who entered the city first.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites looked distressed. No matter who was allowed to go in first, the other party would be dissatisfied.

He glanced sideways at Jiang Yueyang, who looked tired and as if it had nothing to do with him.

After hesitating for a moment, he said to the gate guard who delivered the message: "The gate of my Daxia capital is big enough for them to enter the city at the same time."

After a long while, there was no movement from the city gate, and both sides seemed dissatisfied with this arrangement.

Sure enough, the city gate guard came again to deliver the message.

The Nanzhao side stated that the person who came with the envoys this time was the eldest prince of Nanzhao, who was of noble status. The implication was that people from the Western Regions were not worthy of entering at the same time as them.

The Western Regions said that they had brought too many things, which were extremely precious and could not be damaged in any way. In addition, there were two princesses in the team, so it was not convenient for them to travel together.

In a word, they all wanted to enter the city first.

After hearing what the guard at the city gate said, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was overwhelmed. How come they happened to arrive at the same time?

After a moment, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Yueyang in distress, "Master Jiang, what should we do?"

Jiang Yueyang blinked and said, "You are a diplomat, and you ask me?"

However... she glanced sideways at the city gate. The two foreign vassal states, Nanzhao and the Western Regions, took themselves too seriously.

She knew that Nanzhao's evil ambitions were obvious, but she never expected that the Western Regions were also beginning to become restless.

"Lord Xiao Jiang?" The Minister of the Ministry of Rites spoke again.

Jiang Yueyang said coldly: "We have already given a reasonable solution, but they refused to accept it. In this case, let them solve it themselves. Otherwise, let's have a fight, and whoever wins goes first."

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites: “…”

When the guard at the city gate heard Jiang Yueyang's words, he mistakenly thought that was what they meant, and turned around to go back and convey it.

The Minister of the Honglu Temple stopped him when he saw this and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I will convey Lord Xiao Jiang's words to the envoy." The gate guard's eyes were filled with clear stupidity.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was speechless again, "Master Xiao Jiang was just speaking in anger."

"No, I mean it. There's nothing that can't be solved with a fight."

"Master Xiao Jiang!" The Honglu Temple scolded softly, "Then it would seem that Daxia deliberately provoked them to fight each other."

"If we can't fight," Jiang Yueyang thought about it very seriously, "then let's play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins goes in."

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites: “…”

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites sighed, his voice full of helplessness, "Master Xiao Jiang, Master Bai, I think we should go to the front and try to persuade them."

Bai Ze nodded.

Jiang Yueyang snorted coldly, "Little melon, he was the one who asked me for a solution, but he was not satisfied after I told him. If that's the case, why did he ask me again!"

Having said that, she still kicked the horse's belly and went towards the city gate with the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and others.

The system said: [Maybe... probably... he didn't expect the host to make such an outrageous suggestion. ]

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites nodded secretly. Yes, this is too outrageous.

[Fighting is a bit outrageous, but what about rock-paper-scissors? Isn't that the most peaceful and fair solution? ]

【But that's also a little funny and disrespectful. 】

【Tsk! 】

Jiang Yueyang's voice was filled with strong dissatisfaction, "If you ask me, they were the ones who rushed to come to our Great Xia to offer gifts, and it wasn't our Great Xia that begged them to come. It's up to them to come in or not!

They are all so ignorant! They are acting so arrogantly just after entering the city! Who do they think they are? Didn’t they see that His Majesty didn’t even send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to greet them? 】

As soon as these words were spoken, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites immediately knew how to respond.

After a while, they arrived at the city gate.

Outside the city, the two teams occupied each side.

On the left is the Nanzhao team, led by two young men on horseback.

Judging from his attire and temperament, one of the young men should be Luo Cheng, the eldest prince of Nanzhao Kingdom.

On the right is the Western Region team. There is a very beautiful float in the team, and you can vaguely see two people sitting inside.

There is no doubt that the two princesses sitting inside must be from the Western Regions.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites glanced around and was about to speak when he heard a contemptuous voice from the front.

"I heard earlier that the Heavenly Khan had appointed a female official. I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems to be true."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Minister of Honglu Temple and Bai Ze changed.

The envoys from the Western Regions watched the show silently, and laughed at the prince of Nanzhao in his heart, saying that he was a fool.

Jiang Yueyang looked up and replied lazily, "I've heard that the prince of Nanzhao is arrogant and rude. Seeing him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved."

Luo Cheng's face was filled with anger, and his voice became louder. "How dare you, a mere female official, speak to this prince like that!"

"We in Great Xia recruit people based on their talents, regardless of gender." Jiang Yueyang curled the corners of her lips, "But you, the eldest prince, didn't the King of Nanzhao teach you... that you can't just call anyone you want when you are a guest at someone's house?"
