The Empress Dowager Cixi is not only the last "queen of the curtain" who holds the power under the imperial rule, but also a beautiful woman who loves beauty and enjoyment.
So the combination of power and hobbies, bursting out of the courage of 1+1 2, as long as drinking human milk can indeed be good for appearance and health, then Cixi will definitely drink, can she still lack women who provide human milk?
According to the description of human milk in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", human milk is transformed by the blood of the human body, and the three meridians of the spleen, lungs and kidneys enter the body after drinking, which can nourish the essence, qi and blood, and benefit the five organs, and will also have the advantages of making people white and complexion.To sum it up simply, drinking human milk can not only regulate the internal organs of the body, but also whiten the skin and have a ruddy complexion, which is much faster than the current bird's nest and hyaluronic acid.
Since the advent of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", it has always been a must-read textbook for doctors, and it is impossible for the imperial doctor who works in the Tai Hospital not to know the wonders of human milk, so once the Empress Dowager Cixi sends a message to ask her to prescribe maintenance**, drinking human milk will definitely be included in Cixi's daily diet.
The memoir written by the palace maid who personally served Cixi depicts Cixi's daily food and clothing Xi in detail, and the part of drinking milk tea is very worthy of analysis.
As we all know, the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty are Jurchen origins, from Nurhachi to Huang Taiji, have been living in the current Shenyang Companion Capital, the attributes of the children of the grassland and the living Xi of the northeast people, it extends the Manchu people's Xi of eating meat, gluttony and drinking milk tea.
Milk tea can not only relieve the meaty feeling of meat, but also quickly replenish calories, and unlike the current milk tea with a large amount of industrial syrup, Cixi drinks pure milk and tea hand-poured milk tea.
So what kind of milk is it worth thinking about, as mentioned earlier, the nutritional value and efficacy of human milk are extremely high, so will Cixi put human milk without it, and use milk or goat's milk to drink tea?
On the surface of many materials, milk generally only serves two purposes in the Qing Palace, either to take the taste and use it to make snacks, or to use it for concubines or queen mothers to wash their faces or baths.
It is equivalent to saying that from the perspective of people in the Qing court, milk is the existence of seasoning and facial cleanser, so Cixi will definitely not use milk to make milk tea, I am afraid that only human milk can be enough for this dignity.
The reason why many people will be disbelieving and shocked by Cixi's drinking of human milk is first of all because everyone has been equal for more than 70 years, except for babies who need to drink human milk, no one can raise nursing mothers at home like the dignitaries and nobles under the imperial system, and the role is the same as that of cows for people to get milk.
Moreover, with the development of modern medicine, adults drinking human milk not only do not absorb the nutrients in it, but also because human milk is rich in a large amount of lactose and fat, most people will not be able to withstand a series of discomfort reactions such as diarrhea.
But because the people of the inner meeting were born to live under the rule of the imperial power with clear hierarchies, many women still have to wrap their little feet and go out and can't walk, and they are specially carried away by the servants with the position of "Miss Hug", so what is the matter of raising a nurse.
According to the Ming Dynasty's "Wan Department Miscellaneous Records" book, the palace will regularly select women who provide human milk, called "nipples", because of the good welfare, many women who are innocent and have no evil diseases have always been proud to be nurses for the nobles in the palace.
also took the "Palace Maid's Talk Record" written by the palace maid who served Cixi close to him to analyze, this old palace maid in her later years, the Qing Dynasty has become a historical recollection of Cixi, telling that serving Cixi is called a strict rule.
- For example, the Empress Dowager Cixi likes to be clean, so the palace maid who is close to her body must be meticulous from hair to body odor, she must not have any peculiar smell, she can't look left and right when she walks, and she must have a solemn and festive smile on her face at any time, just like a robot that can talk and move.
This can also be seen that many Qing palace dramas like the current are completely unrealistic, not to mention that the palace maid can shout at the master, even if the corners of her mouth droop down because she is worried about something, she will have to be beaten well.
The old palace maid proudly described the experience of lighting a cigarette for the Empress Dowager Cixi, saying that she could light a cigarette for Cixi briskly and steadily, and never a spark could collapse.
It can be seen from this that the palace people under the power of Cixi in the internal association are completely enslaved from the inside out, not only will they be proud of Cixi's work, but even if they recall Cixi, they can produce sincere reverence from their hearts.
Therefore, if you have excellent physical fitness and choose to enter the palace to provide milk to the Empress Dowager Cixi, you will also be happy in your heart, thinking that this is the greatest praise and affirmation for yourself.
Whether the Empress Dowager Cixi really drank human milk can also be extrapolated from the results.
Fortunately, the meeting already had photographic skills, and a foreigner who had met Cixi returned to China to write down his feelings after seeing Cixi, and the foreigner said that when he met Cixi in China, she was over 70 years old, which was an absolute rare age.
But Cixi's appearance and temperament are not much different from that of a forty-year-old woman, so she can be slightly better in terms of smoothness.
And it can also be seen from Cixi's ** and contemporary color restoration photos that Cixi's spirit is really like the description of the effect of drinking human milk in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", both fair skin and ruddy complexion.
Judging from the fact that she lived to be 72 years old and sent away three generations of emperors with her own hands, her physique is also exceptionally healthy, and she responds to the statement in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that nourishes essence, qi and blood, and the five organs can benefit.
Although from the selection and production method of Cixi's cosmetic rouge in "The Palace Maid's Conversation", it can be seen that her rouge is not only the king of flowers picked out one by one, but only a dozen petals can be selected from hundreds of catties of roses, and the absolute limited edition precious rouge made through layers of tedious processes.
But if you want to have a good appearance at the age of 70, external decoration is one thing, and more has to be internal recuperation.
For a beauty-loving person like Cixi who will personally read books and study health secrets, even if the imperial doctor did not say that drinking human milk can maintain health, she can find out and adopt it herself.
Because looking at the Empress Dowager Cixi's governing philosophy and health preservation methods, she is not biased towards the conservative and conservative style, Cixi is not only willing to try new things, but also has a sincere love for herself, that is, she sees herself too much as a jewel, so that she can do extravagant things such as embezzling military funds to repair the Old Summer Palace and celebrate her birthday.
To sum up, whether it is the description of the utility of drinking human milk in ancient books, or the analysis from the clothing and food Xi of Empress Dowager Cixi, the fact that she can drink human milk should be true.
As for those carefully selected to provide human milk to the Empress Dowager Cixi, they are naturally very expensive, after all, they are all great contributors to keeping Lafayette young, and generally Cixi will not treat them badly, glory and wealth must be indispensable, of course, their status in the palace is much higher than that of some ordinary palace maids.
Even if they are past their age and leave the palace after that, they are still superior existences, just like we said earlier, they are the people who have served Cixi Lafayette's phoenix body, ** can be compared with ordinary people?
Therefore, the outcome of these people will definitely not be too bad. If they are all bad, what about the face of a face-loving person like Cixi?
