How outrageous is the ancient concubine's sleeping? There is no sound when serving the bed, there is strict time control, and there are eunuchs watching. So what is the process of the ancient concubines serving the bed?
The emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem. Many people envy the emperor for having so many beauties at the same time, but what they don't know is that the emperor does not spoil whoever he wants.
Even the eunuch and the queen do not have the right to speak on the favored concubine. Qing Dynasty emperors desperately had sons in order to stabilize their thrones. The more sons they have, the more stable their thrones will be.
The emperor held a concubine selection ceremony every three years to fill the emperor's harem. For the prosperity of the descendants, a perfect set of sleeping procedures has also been formulated.
Qing Taizu Nurhaci Learning from Ming Dynasty 's demise, he set up rules for his descendants, not allowing them to indulge in women's lust and waste the government, so a special institution was set up.
to constrain the behavior of the emperor and his concubine. This rule is so controlled that even the supreme emperor has no right to change it. This institution is Jingshifang .
He is affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They are mainly responsible for recording what happened when the emperor and his concubines were in bed, preparations and bedtime.
Every night when the emperor finished his dinner, the eunuch in the service room would carry a silver plate knelt in front of the emperor,The plate with the concubine's name engraved on it is neatly placed.
These cards are all made of gold, and then inlaid with sapphire , so they are also called green head cards. When the emperor wanted to find someone to sleep with, he would turn over the sign with the back facing up.
If a concubine has a period or is ill, the concubine will put up the green head card of such a concubine, and the emperor will know what it means.
In order to prevent the emperor from indulging in beauty, the emperor can only summon one concubine per day. If the emperor has the same concubine to sleep with for several days, the eunuch in the Jingshi room will remind the emperor.
Let him get wet. In order to make the rain and dew evenly soaked in the actual sense, the concubines and concubines' brands will be buckled and placed in the concubines, so that the emperor can not only make the rain and dew evenly soaked.
You can also enjoy the joy of drawing blind boxes. The concubines of the harem also have the same opportunity to serve in the bed, and they can also guarantee the heirs of the royal family. The matter of killing three birds with one stone has been recognized by many emperors.
If it is too late for the emperor to deal with the affairs of the state and he does not want his concubines to serve in the bed, he must go to the Queen's Palace on the 15th of every month.
One is for the royal heir, and the other is to show the status of the queen The situation was explained to the queen in the middle.
If the queen agrees,Just put your stamp on the paper of the petition. That is to say, which concubine the emperor wants to favor, he must obtain the consent of the queen.
Wait for the queen to affix the seal smoothly, and please Indo will hand over the paper to Concubine Tuo's eunuch, and they will take a yellow satin and go to the palace where the concubine sleeps.
Hand it over to the maid at the door, the maid goes in and reports, and then the concubine starts to dress up. After all the preparatory work is done, the eunuch of Tourbillon will enter.
Then put the yellow satin on the concubine's body, and then carry it to the emperor's bedroom. At this time, the concubine can't lie on the bed, she has to stand on the side and watch the eunuch serve the emperor, take off her top and bottom clothes.
After the emperor lies on the bed, the concubine will climb onto the bed along the emperor's feet, and the chief eunuch of the service room will stand outside the door and record their every move.
It's like writing a diary clearly. After two hours have passed, the eunuch in charge will kneel outside the door and say it's time, and the concubine will start her bedtime work.
The concubine can't make a little noise when she is serving the bed, otherwise she will be pulled back by the eunuch outside the door, completely ignoring the emperor's thoughts.
Wait for a period of time in the past, and the eunuch in charge will remind him at the door when the time is up. If the emperor has not finished, the eunuch will urge the emperor through the bell.
Until hearing the emperor's summoning order, the eunuch will enter the room and kneel down to ask the emperor to stay.If the emperor said to stay, the concubine Tuo's eunuch would send the concubine back to the palace.
Then the booklet records that the emperor favors a certain concubine at a certain time in a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, so that the concubine can clearly know the date of pregnancy and the expected date of delivery when she is pregnant in the future.
If the emperor refuses to stay, then the concubines will be rewarded with a bowl of contraceptive soup, or they will be prevented from conceiving through massage. When the concubine returned to her own bedroom, the whole process of things was not finished.
The Qing Dynasty's rules of serving bedchambers have been changed in more detail from the original system of the Ming Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty's bedservant system seems to be more of a work process and has no human touch.
