Since she received the gift, Manbao was somewhat concerned about the relationship between Prince Gong and his princess consort, but only for a moment. She turned her head, her eyes sparkling, and asked Bai Shan, "Has the decree for the promotion of the Imperial Hospital been sent to the Central Secretariat?"
"Yes," Bai Shan replied, "I've only drafted the initial version. This decree carries significant weight and will definitely need to be redrafted by the senior officials. The Imperial Secretariat will also need to review it, so even with expedited processing, it won't be ready until tomorrow."
Manbao opened a nearby drawer, took out a plate of snacks, and while eating, said, "With the promotion of the Imperial Hospital, will I get promoted too?"
Bai Shan thought for a moment and said, "There's a fifty percent chance. If you don't get promoted, the court will likely appoint some additional officials to the Imperial Hospital."
