When Liu Luping suddenly heard that he was the top scorer, he was stunned for a moment.

It was Cui Yuwei who patted him on the shoulder to wake him up, and then he pushed through the crowd and squeezed forward.

The people blocking the way ahead knew that he was the top scholar, so they all made way for him. As a result, Cui Yuwei, with the help of Liu Luping, walked to the front and saw the list on the wall.

Top of the first class: Liu Luping, following is his basic information.

Cui Yuwei first congratulated Liu Luping, then slowly looked down to find his name on the list.

"Thirteenth place in the first class, Brother Cui, your name is also on the list!" Liu Luping said, pointing to the thirteenth place.

But he saw Cui Yuwei's name written on it, as well as his date of birth, ancestral home address, and parents' names. Everything matched his, confirming that they were not someone with the same name.

"I passed! I passed too!" Cui Yuwei's face was filled with joy, and he bowed to Liu Luping, "Brother Liu, I stayed at your house for a while. Thank you for your guidance, otherwise I might not have gotten such a good ranking."

After all, Liu Luping studied in the capital for a few years before he was falsely accused and expelled, but Cui Yuwei was a "small town test-taker" from beginning to end. Although his family was rich, the educational resources in Luoyun Town were far inferior to those in the capital.

Therefore, I learned many things from Liu Luping after I got to know him.

It can be said that without Liu Luping, although Cui Yuwei would have passed the exam, his ranking would definitely not have been so high, and he might have only been ranked at the tail end of the first class.

"Brother Cui, you are too polite. From now on, you and I will be comrades-in-arms." Liu Luping smiled.

Just as the two were congratulating each other and feeling happy about their achievements, a cold snort suddenly came from the side. When they turned around, they saw that it was Fang Youwei, the eldest son of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery.

Originally, when the results were announced today, Fang Youwei didn't need to come and see them in person. He could have sent his servant to wait here and report back after seeing the results. However, he was so confident that he would definitely pass the exam, so he thought about coming in person to feel the envious gazes of the crowd.

He also found his name on the list, ranked 26th in the first class.

In this batch of announced results list, he was above average, not too good, but not bad either. Compared with other children of powerful and wealthy people who took the exam in the capital, his ranking was the highest.

This originally made him happy, but when he saw Liu Luping's first place, he immediately became unhappy:

"Humph, it's too early to be happy! You have corrupt personal morals and bad conduct, and yet someone like you can become the top scholar? After a few days at the Qionglin Banquet, I will definitely expose you in front of His Majesty and all the civil and military officials!"

"Liu Luping, you should have gone back to your hometown in Jianzhou a long time ago. If you insist on staying in the capital and causing trouble for me, don't blame me for being rude!"

Cui Yuwei wanted to argue with him again, but was stopped by Liu Luping:

"Brother Cui, let's go back. There's no need to argue with a fool. Let him do whatever he wants."

As he said that, Liu Luping pulled Cui Yuwei away from the crowd and returned to the tavern.

Since they already knew their rankings, there was no need for them to stay there and crowd with others. They still had to prepare for the upcoming Qionglin Banquet.

According to the setting of "The Fake Daughter Wins Without Any Effort", the Qionglin Banquet of the Dayin Dynasty was held seven days after the announcement of each science and technology results.

The students who participated included the top three, namely the top scorer, the second place, and the third place, as well as all the candidates including the first place, about fifty people. It was presided over by the emperor himself, and civil and military officials were in attendance.

This is the first time for the students to meet the emperor, so they must dress appropriately and behave properly, and not lose their composure in front of His Majesty.

Therefore, you still have to prepare well.

The two returned to the tavern and found Shi Lidie waiting for them there.

"Miss Shi!" The two of them bowed in greeting.

"How are your grades?" Shi Lidie asked.

"Brother Liu ranked first in the class. I am not as good as Brother Liu and only got thirteenth place in the class." Cui Yuwei said.

Shi Lidie gave them a thumbs up:

"That's great. I've prepared two sets of clothes for you to wear when you attend the Qionglin Banquet."

After saying that, she took out two design drawings and handed them to Liu Luping and Cui Yuwei respectively.

The design drawings were given to her when she bought books from the system before, but her private customization only produced women's clothing, not men's clothing, so these drawings have been kept in the space and have never been taken out.

This time, it’s just right for two high school friends, so that they can shine at the Qionglin Banquet.

"I've never seen this style of clothes before." Liu Luping couldn't help but sigh when he saw the pattern.

"It must have been designed by Miss Shi herself." Cui Yuwei knew that Shi Lidie opened a private tailor shop in Luoyun Town. "Miss Shi's private tailor-made clothes are very expensive. I never thought that I would be able to wear them one day."

"What's so valuable? It's just a lie." Shi Lidie smiled. "There are still seven days before the Qionglin Banquet. It's still in time to make two sets of clothes. I hope you can perform well at the banquet."

"Don't worry, we will live up to Miss Shi's expectations." The two of them bowed.

Then, Liu Luping said:

"Miss Shi helped my family when they were in trouble. I am very grateful and will always remember the deal we made. I will expose Fang Youwei's true identity at the Qionglin Banquet."

"Fang Youwei?" Cui Yuwei was stunned and asked, "Isn't this the person who humiliated Brother Liu several times before?"

"It was him. I was kicked out of the academy because of his schemes and frame-ups." Liu Luping said, "He did a lot of evil in the academy and targeted me everywhere. I couldn't deal with him before, but it was Miss Shi who gave me this opportunity."

"I was wondering why Brother Liu kept stopping me from arguing with him. It turns out that Brother Liu has a plan." Cui Yuwei smiled. "That's great. If you need my help, please let me know."

Everyone was preparing for the Qionglin Banquet, and the Fang family was no exception.

After Fang Zhenghua knew Fang Youwei's ranking, he laughed out loud three times and was in a very happy mood, because the Fang family was finally going to change the situation of having no one in the court!

Fang Youwei is in high school. If he works hard and puts in some effort, he should be able to get his son a position of real power.

Even if it's not real power, it's still a lucrative job.

Unlike him, after he retired due to injury, he only held a sinecure and had no say in the court. Those powerful officials only showed him superficial respect based on his title, but actually did not take him seriously.

But now, everything is different.

If Fang Youwei's career goes steadily, he will be promoted in the future, and the future of the Fang family will rest on his shoulders.

In addition, Fang Ruoruo married into the Third Prince's mansion, and everyone worked together to ensure that the Third Prince ascended to the throne. Then the Fang family would be the emperor's in-laws in the future, and would be an important official who served the emperor well.

Of course, Fang Zhenghua, who was immersed in beautiful imagination, had no idea what would happen at the Qionglin Banquet seven days later.
