[It turns out that no one was a concubine in ancient times]

[In the late Qing Dynasty, a person failed in a talent show]

[Everyone in the family happily sings and celebrates]

[The daughter of a wealthy family never has to worry about food and drink from birth]

[Entering the palace means you will never be able to return home]

[In the palace, concubines have very limited space to move around]

[The Imperial Garden is not big, and the place where we live is also small]

[Even if she is a concubine of high status in the palace]

[Other concubines will live in other rooms in the courtyard]

[After getting up early every day and greeting each other]

[Can’t take a nap]

[You can’t visit people at will]

【Don’t eat random things】

[Moreover, the things bestowed by the Emperor cannot be bought or sold privately, taken out of the palace privately, or given away at will.]

[After death, these shoes and jewelry will be recycled and given to other concubines]

[They only have the right to use but not the right to control]

【I saw a documentary saying】

[The Qing Dynasty harem did not harm children at all]

[They were trapped in the palace all day long, and their lives were very depressing. They would love to have a few children at this time.]

[Some concubines even pinned their hopes on these children, considering them as their spiritual support to continue living in the palace]

"The Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City is very small, just the size of an ordinary small park. It is like living in a small community for a lifetime and being unable to leave the community gate, go shopping, or go shopping."

"When I visited the Imperial Garden in the Forbidden City a few years ago, I couldn't believe my eyes and kept checking it. I went there in winter and it was bare."

"The houses that ordinary concubines live in are not as big as those of common people, but common people can go shopping, go on outings, and travel far away, while concubines have to be trapped in the palace for their entire lives and have to abide by various rules [tears rushing]"

"And those of lower status have to sleep in a large bunk bed. [tears running][tears running][tears running] When they were girls, at least they had their own rooms."

"And those with low ranks have to sleep on a large bunk bed [I want to be quiet] and the food is particularly pitiful. Those with low ranks can't eat much meat in a month [I want to be quiet] I was really shocked when I saw the Qing Dynasty harem menu [covering face] No wonder the Qing Dynasty harem women died early [I want to be quiet]"

"In the Ming History: Biographies of Empresses and Concubines, when the concubines were selected, every family wailed and every concubine had a sad face. Being a concubine was more painful than being killed.

The selection of concubines recorded in the history of the Qing Dynasty was even more outrageous. Manchus and Han people were not allowed to intermarry, and the emperor's younger sister (that is, princess) had to marry a daughter who was also sent to the imperial selection when she reached the appropriate age. This generation difference was not a small one.

"When the father and brother reach a certain level, there are many people who can be married to. They can marry a high-ranking man or choose a promising scholar. In short, the father and brother are not in trouble, and they can help each other. But if you send them to the palace, you may really bring trouble to your father and brother [awkward laugh] So families who love their daughters really don't like them to enter the palace [awkward laugh]"

"Yongzheng's concubine once ate tribute fruit, and Yongzheng scolded her, saying that I was working so hard on government affairs that I could only eat this fruit, why should you eat it [awkward laugh][awkward laugh][awkward laugh]"

"When Qianlong's concubine died, her clothes had to be shared among the other concubines in the harem. The queen even got a few pieces!

In addition, Qianlong openly asked for the property of his father and grandfather’s concubines. . . ”

" In Dream of the Red Chamber, Yuanchun cried and said, "Back then, since you sent me to a place where I couldn't face people..."

“Female Channel:??? I spent a lot of time writing a palace fighting story, and you tell me this???”

“Fake female channel: I want to compete for the most favored one; real female channel: I want to kill the emperor and sit on that throne myself. [Cover face][Cover face][Cover face]”

The emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties were so angry that their faces turned red: Look at what you are saying?

What does this say?

I am the emperor, the most supreme being in the world. It is the greatest blessing for those women to marry me as his concubines!

What? My palace is too small for those women to stay in?

They did it willingly. They were fascinated by me, the majestic and true dragon emperor, and were willing to enter the palace as concubines. No one forced them.

Besides, if you really can't stand it, you can spend money to bribe her. But your family background is not good and your family is not wealthy. You can't please me. Does such a person deserve the best things?

The ladies who were selected during the Qing Dynasty were not happy at all, because this was their predetermined future.

If I am selected, I will have to spend the rest of my life in this palace with dark walls and willows.

There is sky in all directions and walls on all sides. There is no place more stuffy than this!

And this may be their lifelong residence.

At the same time, some girls from humble families who were not favored by their families were delighted that they were selected.

I was not liked by my father and mistress to begin with. If I failed the selection, I might not be able to marry into a good family.

But it would be different if I was selected. After all, I would be a queen in the palace. If I were favored, my mother and brother would have a much better life in the mansion, right?

Who knows, maybe my younger brother will be able to eat meat every now and then in the future, and he will grow stronger and be less bullied by other people in the school.

This was already an excellent ending for her, and she didn't dare to ask for too much.

When Yongzheng heard that there were crickets from later generations on the sky curtain, he looked calm on the surface, but he was actually secretly angry. He even wrote in his diary wildly implying the later generations who were dissatisfied with him.

What's wrong with me not allowing my concubines to eat fruit? I work so hard as an emperor every day, but what about them? What else can those women do except nagging and spoiling their children?

Hehe (?????) They don’t know anything. They have to rely on me for everything they eat, drink and use. They have neither outstanding talents nor are they familiar with state affairs to relieve my worries (if they did, you’d be anxious again). How can they be so useless as to snatch tribute fruits from me?

I think they are sensible. They have given birth to one child after another for me, so I am already pampering them by giving them a little food.

They should not be greedy and demand more. If they do so, they will not only lose their sense of propriety in dealing with others, but also lose the dignity of being wives and concubines of the royal family.
