The hierarchical system in the Qing Dynasty was very strict. Although the empress dowager had a lot of money, some concubines and concubines were not so lucky, especially those who had no sons to support them. Their money was sometimes pitiful. In order to supplement their lives, they

They had to use their embroidery skills learned in the boudoir to earn some money to supplement their income.

Of course, the fourth concubine is rich and will not be treated like this, but after moving to these palaces, everyone knows that they are called the Crown Princess or the old widow.

No matter how rich the Qing Dynasty was, no matter how bright the sun of the Qing Dynasty was, it could not shine on their corner.

No matter who takes the throne, it is certainly impossible to increase their regular income, and it cannot be supported by more money.

All are given according to palace regulations.

It is impossible for people like these to move together, unlike before when one person would be served by dozens of people.

The old widow is very lucky that she didn't let you be buried.

You must know that Kangxi is not dead yet. Now the Ministry of Rites is planning to bury 40 palace ladies. Of course, if any concubine who is Kangxi's true love comes forward and asks to be buried with him, that is also allowed. But by this time, it is obvious that

The four concubines, all of whom had reached old age, cherished their lives, and none of them said they wanted to accompany Emperor Kangxi to death.

Fortunately, Emperor Kangxi was rarely confused even when he died. Emperor Kangxi hated the burial of living people and ordered a ban.

It can be said that the cruel and barbaric habit of Chinese emperors burying human beings for so many years really ended with Emperor Kangxi.

But no one can tell you to live happily until you die.

The fourth concubine always knew what the situation would be like in the future.

The number of waiters for each person is reduced and reduced. In the end, the fourth concubine can still have three or five people to wait on her. Those who have given birth to a son can still have two people to wait on them. The rest are not allowed to be served by yourself, that is, shared people wait on you.

Already.

This is the practice of the previous dynasty, and neither Old Ten nor Little Fugua will change this.

However, in order to appease the uncles, Xiao Fugua would not give more money, but the retired old eunuchs in the palace had no place to arrange it, so they could arrange to accompany the empress dowager.

Therefore, there are more than 10 old eunuchs who are responsible for performing storytelling for the queen mother and concubines to relieve their boredom.

At the same time, there is a massage office in the palace. One of their main responsibilities is to serve the queen mother and concubines. Elderly people will inevitably have backache, leg pain, and stiff neck. At this time, the massage office will send people to massage and treat the concubines.

In order to kill the time of the elderly, many Buddhist temples were built around Cining Palace, which provided another spiritual sustenance for the palace residents who had a miserable life.

In short, each of Xiao Fugua's actions moved the third and fourth masters very much. As for asking for money, and what the mother would do to raise a son, if they have money, they can take advantage of the few festivals every year to send it in. Anyway, the palace

It doesn't cost much, just small things like eating, drinking, and giving rewards. After all, with the support of several masters, the eunuchs in the palace don't dare to go overboard.

All the princes and concubines felt that this life was not bad. Although this life was not as good as before, it was still peaceful. Only Empress Dowager De felt that this life was unbearable.

This is absolutely impossible to pass.

Thinking about that kind of life, it is simply impossible to live.
