As soon as the horseback archery test was over, Su Xing dismounted and, holding her bow, knelt at the foot of the steps, "Emperor, the horseback archery civilian woman has completed the test."
"Good, good, good!" Su Muchen praised repeatedly. He had never witnessed such an exciting imperial exam. "Proceed to the next round."
"Yes, Emperor." Only then did Su Xing get up and prepare for the second round, weightlifting.
There were several weights of stones, the heaviest being 350 jin. Su Xing took a deep breath before grabbing the 350 jin stone with both hands and lifting it high.
Everyone was astonished.
Not only did she lift it, but she also carried the stone to the foot of the steps before setting it down.
"Very good!" Once again, Su Muchen praised.
Tao Chengyin felt slightly relieved; the first two rounds were passed. The rest would depend on the fate of his eldest daughter-in-law.
