After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

After all this trouble, Su Qinchao no longer had the heart to wander around, and took Guanqi directly back to Gao's house.

As soon as I entered the door, I met Gao Zhili who had just come out. It turned out that the personnel to be sent to Yucheng had been decided.

He came back to get some handy things and made some arrangements.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore." Su Qinchao thought that since Gao Zhili was not there, there was only Xu, the mistress left in Gao's house, so it would not be convenient for him to live in Gao's house.

"No, no, I've already made arrangements. My wife hasn't been back to her parents' home for a long time. I'll send her back to live with her for a while. You can just stay there and rest assured. The test will be held in two days. Why bother moving around?"

Gao Zhili hurriedly stopped him. It was his wife who proposed this idea. She also said that her husband's friend was a good person and would be a help in the officialdom in the future.

"How can I let my sister-in-law..." Su Qinchao refused embarrassedly.

"Whatever, my parents-in-law are very happy!"

 …

On the day of the examination

Because Su Qinchao was very excited the night before, he fell asleep very late.

This resulted in him getting up a little later today, and the number plate he got was relatively far back, but this made it easier for him to observe others.

The first round of the test is archery, which has four items: flat shooting, tube shooting, horse shooting, and foot shooting.

The first two items were relatively simple, and most people were able to pass them easily, getting first or second place, with only a few getting third or fourth place.

The same was true for Su Qinchao, who performed very well in flat shooting, tube shooting, and foot shooting. Every arrow hit the five rings and won first prize.

Only the horseback archery test not only tests balance and concentration, but also coordination with the horse. My performance was slightly worse, and I only got second place.

However, there are not many people who can get first prize at this level, so I am already very satisfied with getting second prize.

The second round was lance and strength, both of which he was good at.

Thanks to the Su family's profound family knowledge and his inherited great strength, he got first place.

The final appearance/intelligence was not as smooth as expected.

Your intelligence is fine. The test is just about Mingjing. They will ask a few more questions. Just answer them clearly and with coherent thinking.

In terms of appearance, he only got second place because he did not look majestic enough but too handsome, like a scholar.

God knows he looks thin when he's dressed, but has muscles when he's undressed.

"How did you do in the exam, young master?" Seeing Su Qinchao coming out of the examination room, Guanqi hurried to greet him.

"Not bad." Just waiting for the palace examination. If there are no problems, getting second place is a sure thing.

The martial arts examination is not like the civil examination. You can almost tell how you did on the spot. It all depends on your real strength.

Sure enough, after the palace examination, Su Qinchao got the ninth place in the second class, was awarded the status of a Jinshi, and was scheduled to be retained.

Since he didn't know when he would be granted an official position, Su Qinchao moved out of Gao's house and rented a small courtyard nearby.

At this time, Gao Zhili had already returned from Yucheng.

According to him, everything Princess Yucheng said was exaggerated.

But it is true that Prince Consort Shen took Wu Shi San and favored actresses. As for the verbal insults to the royal family, it was just a quarrel between husband and wife.

However, they still invited Prince Consort Shen back to confront the princess face to face.

Later, the emperor simply forced the two of them to divorce and chose another son-in-law for Princess Yucheng.

It just so happened that the results of the military examination were announced, so the emperor issued a special decree, ordering Princess Yucheng to host the Deer Singing Banquet.

It’s a good opportunity to see if there is any suitable candidate for the prince consort at the banquet.
