For example, Yan Yansong, a cabinet official in the Ming Dynasty, often suffered from insomnia.

There is a lot of preparation before going to bed. Let the maids go into the quilt to warm the bed first, and then he will go in after warming the bed.

On the way to sleep, if the weather is very cold, there are waiters who hold out their chests to warm their hands and feet.

It is not convenient to get up, and special services are provided.

(Yan Song is even more inhuman)

When the dragon came down, Lord Yan fell asleep. Trouble can't be described. What word should I use? I'm a little poor!

However, compared with Yan's adult, Empress Dowager Cixi is actually frugal.

As we all know, Empress Dowager Cixi's greatest famous saying is "Use China's material resources to win the favor of the country."

You are so generous to foreigners, you must not be stingy to yourself.

What misappropriation of naval military spending to build the Summer Palace, eating, crowding round, even after the death of Jinshan Yinshan into the tomb, and finally Sun Dianying kicked the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi, leaving her naked and almost insulted. Is this karma?

These are big aspects. In fact, on a small scale, the details of Empress Dowager Cixi's life are impersonal.

Eating, a meal/kloc-more than 0/00 dishes, most of them are just looking around, chopsticks don't move, but this ostentation and extravagance is necessary. Finally, it is estimated that eunuchs and maids are cheap, but I don't know whether to eat it myself, or to dump it or take it out of the palace to sell it.

Travel, several times to escape are followed by thousands of people, crowding round, I didn't know it was a cruise, I thought it was a flight, even by train, thousands of pieces of clothes, others were cloakrooms, she was cloakrooms, and what's even more ridiculous is that the driver couldn't drive on his knees by car, and he had to kill the driver. Why don't you go to heaven?

The four great things in life are nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation. Clothes in the trunk as a cloakroom, eat hundreds of dishes. All the trips are crowded. Of course, this place is also very particular about sleeping.

(Empress Dowager Cixi)

Empress Dowager Cixi mainly lives in Palace of Gathered Elegance!

She has lived in Palace of Gathered Elegance for most of her life, which also has historical reasons.

This Palace of Gathered Elegance was originally named Shou Chang Palace. Empress Dowager Cixi was just 17 years old when she entered the palace and was arranged to live here. It was here that she gave birth to the Tongzhi Emperor. From mother to son, she became the imperial concubine and later the imperial concubine.

It can be said that her prosperity and love are all in Palace of Gathered Elegance, from 17' s cardamom to her love with Xianfeng Emperor, all of which are related to Palace of Gathered Elegance.

Therefore, she loves Palace of Gathered Elegance, which means she is thinking about the past.

Empress Dowager Cixi likes Palace of Gathered Elegance and lives here. As the helm of the empire, Palace of Gathered Elegance is bound to become the most awesome place in the Forbidden City.

Not only is the security excellent, but there are also many guards and maids-in-waiting eunuchs, who are specially served by a team of ten people.

Cixi's sleep time is relatively fixed. She goes to bed at nine o'clock at night and gets up at five o'clock in the morning. Today, the world is nine to five, and vice versa!

When he sleeps, the eunuch in Palace of Gathered Elegance will work overtime first, and then close the palace door to avoid being disturbed for no reason. Then there are eunuchs and maids.

It's not easy either. Everyone has a fixed post and is not allowed to leave without permission. Even they have to go to the toilet at the right time.

According to Memoirs of a Maid, the sleeping process of Empress Dowager Cixi is like this.

Of course, I will take a bath in Palace of Gathered Elegance after dealing with the affairs of state.

However, Empress Dowager Cixi is different from ordinary people in taking a bath. She usually takes a towel. Empress Dowager Cixi asked for dozens of them for a simple reason: one for washing hands, one for washing feet, one for the body, one for the ass and one for the back. In short, each part should be replaced once, and never be reused.

Today, local tyrants in the world use disposable underwear every day, and Empress Dowager Cixi uses white scarves every day, which is inhuman!

After taking a shower, I go to bed. Sleeping is also attended by people inside and outside. Outside the door are seven personal eunuchs, who should be both security guards and domestic slaves, and also upload orders.

Inside the door, there are maids. There are mainly three people to serve. One is the closest maid-in-waiting who is on duty in the bedroom every day, and the other two are maids outside the bedroom.

The core team composed of these three people has a clear division of labor!

The two outside the bedroom are mainly responsible for personal duty. Empress Dowager Cixi can convey everything she needs through this personal maid, and she will also be informed of anything special when the personal maid is outside.

In addition to these basic problems, these ladies-in-waiting have to arrange clothes for Empress Dowager Cixi in the cloakroom every day, prepare clothes and check if there are any problems. I also want to help Empress Dowager Cixi recite the scriptures so that Empress Dowager Cixi who believes in Buddhism can have a good sleep.

Another maid-in-waiting is more sad. His work place is in the bedroom, and he should wait on Empress Dowager Cixi at any time. When Empress Dowager Cixi slept, she stood beside her, but she couldn't make a sound.

Record Cixi's sleep every day, whether she snores or dreams, and report it after dawn. As for any special matters, the historical materials are unknown.

From what has been said above, we can know that it takes ten people to serve Cixi, including seven eunuchs and three ladies-in-waiting.

It's really troublesome If he is a man, it will be more troublesome. Fortunately, she is a woman. But to tell the truth, compared with Yan Ge, he is not so inhuman, but in terms of historical position, she is more harmful.
