In the Ming Dynasty, Gan Qing Palace in the Forbidden City was the emperor's bedroom.
It turns out that only the emperor and queen can live here, and the rest of the concubines are only allowed to enter the palace in order and leave that night. They can't stay long unless the emperor allows them. During the Jiajing period, there were nine NuanGe in the back. Each room is divided into two floors, and each floor has stairs. There are three beds in each room, or 27 beds in the upper and lower floors. The emperor can freely choose which room to sleep in and which bed to sleep in. Even people who are familiar with NuanGe can't find out where he sleeps for a while. This setting is undoubtedly a clever preventive measure.

Later, Yang and others were executed, which was called "the change of Renyin Palace" in history.
