The concubines living in the palace of the Qing Dynasty, although they have fine clothes and jade food every day, and there are personal palace maids to serve them, but they are like a bird in captivity, they have long forgotten how high the sky is, and their daily work and rest can be so regular that they can no longer be regular.
5 o'clock in the morning: The concubines must get up, if they want to sleep lazily, there is no way, the emperor has already gotten up to work, and the concubines naturally have to get up and dress up. Smear and paint, a "good" day starts with morning makeup.
6 a.m.: Go to the Queen Mother first, and then go to the harem to greet the Queen. What can I say during the invitation period, it is nothing more than that the queen mother and the queen will teach the concubines, and the favored concubines can say a few more words, and the unfavored ones will listen to what they say.
7 o'clock: Finally back, don't listen to the Queen Mother's nagging, eat something.
9-11 o'clock: There is nothing to be busy during this time, but there is no TV to watch, no Douyin to brush, so I can only go to the next door to hang out and cheer up.
11-12 o'clock: I can cook again, I'm so happy. If it is the emperor's favorite concubine, she may be called to dine together, otherwise it is better to cook by yourself, but it is easy and comfortable, and there are not so many rules.
12 p.m. - 1 p.m.: After eating, it is natural to take a lunch break and take a break by yourself.
1 p.m.-5 p.m.: This time is a proper free time, arrange yourself, nag if you want to, do your own things if you want to do your own things.
5 p.m.: Dinner begins, and you have to think while eating, will the emperor turn over his own sign at night?
6 p.m.: The emperor will turn over the cards during this time period to choose a concubine to sleep, if it is an honor to be turned over, then there will be a special palace maid and eunuch to serve him to bathe and change clothes, and then there will be a special eunuch to carry himself to the emperor's bedroom to sleep.
An hour later, they would be wrapped in a quilt by the eunuch and sent back to their bedroom, because the concubine could not accompany the emperor overnight, and the next thing was to sleep by herself and wait for the arrival of a new day.
If you haven't been turned over by the emperor, you can only wash and sleep!
This is the day of a concubine in the Qing Dynasty, will you envy such a life?
