In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", we can find that the concubines who have nothing to do in the harem are mainly doing these three things. The representative ones are Concubine Jing, An Lingrong and queen.
Concubine Jing is actually a very insignificant person. Naturally, she is not liked by the emperor. So the group she represents is the large group in the harem who have not been able to see the emperor for three years. This is a group, because there are only a few favored protagonists in the harem. People like Concubine Jing are not very favored, and there are no rewards in the palace, so what they do is naturally boring. Concubine Jing A person's favorite thing to do at night is actually counting bricks. This was only learned when Zhen Huan and Concubine Jing were having a night talk. From this point of view, the days when the harem was not favored were really... It's very sad. No wonder they say that once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea. As long as you are not favored for a day, your day will be full of sorrow and boredom.
An Lingrong was considered the third female lead in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". She also truly loved the emperor in the early stages. The emperor also doted on her for a while because she was somewhat similar to Empress Chunyuan. Time, but all these disappeared with her own little thoughts. On those nights when she was not favored, as a lady, An Lingrong's favorite thing to do was the skill that every young lady must learn - Embroidery, and girls who are good at embroidery, will be respected by everyone, so An Lingrong can pass the boring nights like this and improve her skills, so why not do it.
Finally, there is the queen. As the queen, Yixiu has special treatment that is different from others. That is, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, the emperor has to spend the night in the queen's palace. This is also considered a privilege. Xiang Tielu, out of respect for the queen, and the queens in the past dynasties must have had very superior financial backgrounds. Under such circumstances, the emperor married more because of the queen's financial background, and rarely out of love. of.
Since there is no love, there are two days in every month that we must go to the Queen’s Palace, so naturally we no longer want to spend the rest of the time with the Queen. At this time, Queen Yixiu in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" , what I chose to do in the dead of night was to practice calligraphy, to the extent that even Yongzheng once praised Yi Xiu for his good calligraphy. It was really not easy.
