Director Xiao was not very concerned about whether there were enough female disciples. After all, apart from Zhou Man, all students in the Imperial Hospital were male, so naturally, it was better to teach male students.
Not having enough female students just meant they could all be replaced with male students, which he thought was the ideal 8:2 ratio.
However, since the Empress brought it up, the Crown Prince indulged it, and even Lord Yang spoke a few words on behalf of Zhou Man, he agreed to the 7:3 ratio.
As the registration deadline approached, he never expected more than seventy little palace maids to be sent directly from the palace for the exam.
The female official who delivered them smiled and said, "Her Majesty said that as long as they pass the Imperial Hospital's exam, they will be relieved of their palace duties and become members of the Imperial Hospital, so Director Xiao doesn't need to worry, the palace won't interfere."
