Shenhao UP Lord

Chapter 229 My Bitter Daily Life

"Yeah, we didn't see anything!"

Gou Tuanzi hugged Sinan, whose legs were already weak, and tremblingly said: "What's the cold palace? It's cooler than other places, right?"

Lao Zhang looked at the sudden trembling of the beauties, funny and helpless, it was like this during the day, and it was not scary at night?

"Lenggong is not a definite place, and there is no such building as Lenggong in the Forbidden City. To put it bluntly, it is just a general term. Any concubine who made a mistake, was imprisoned, or the emperor will not go to any palace in the future, that is Lenggong."

Ding Xu walked into the gate. Compared with the open area, the inside was really dilapidated, with dust everywhere and furniture in a mess. It felt a bit desolate.

"This is the Beisan House where Concubine Zhen lived before Cixi fell into a well. She lived in the westernmost house."

"According to records, the door of the house is locked from the outside every day, and one of the windows is alive. The servants pass food and wash in through the window through the window. Concubine Zhen is not allowed to talk to the servants."

"Eating the food of ordinary servants, and being monitored by two eunuchs 24 hours a day, I ask you if you are afraid of this kind of life?"

"Is life better than death!"

Simply turn around, there is nothing to be afraid of being broken, and a scary BGM in the later stage will get it done.

After leaving the cold palace, everyone felt more comfortable and continued walking forward. They passed several rooms with two big characters written on them:

dining room!

"Everyone, don't get excited!"

"This is not the famous imperial dining room."

“There are plenty of such small kitchens in Forbidden City!”

Ding Xu said with a smile: "The big and small palaces all have their own dining rooms. There are almost eight levels of concubines. The regular meal expenses range from 50 taels to more than ten taels. The lower the quota, the smaller the dining room." , the fewer dishes there are.”

"The tableware used is also different from gold, silver, tin, and porcelain. Among the many dining rooms, the largest one is the imperial dining room serving the emperor."

"One is outside Jingyun Gate. It's called the Wai Imperial Dining Room to the south of the Treasure Hall. It not only prepares Manchu and Han banquets for the ministers, but also sometimes prepares meals for the ministers on duty. Workers who work late eat directly in the Forbidden City."

"The other one is on the side of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, called the Inner Imperial Dining Room, which is the emperor's personal order, where countless delicacies come from."

"The Meat Bureau is in charge of fish, meat, and seafood dishes; the Vegetable Bureau is in charge of green vegetables, dried vegetables, and vegetable oil; the Hanging Stove Bureau is in charge of roasting and grilling dishes; The dinner bureau is in charge of porridge and rice."

"According to the records, there are 600 people on the roof of the imperial dining room in Guangyangxindian, all of whom are five-star chefs at that time!"

"There are 2 chef chiefs, 2 deputy chief chefs, 27 chefs, 2 foremen Baitang'a, 20 Baitang'a, 20 promise chiefs, 44 undertakers, 2 supervisors, and 6 supervisors. 57 people, 10 Sanqi cooks, 30 cooks, [-] husbands..."

"In addition to No. [-] eunuch serving food, darling, what is the concept of serving a meal and a strengthening company!"

"Don't get excited yet!" Suddenly the conversation changed and Ding Xu said, "There are exceptions to everything."

"For example, the last emperor Puyi."

"This man can be said to be a tragedy. The reason why he can become emperor is because Guangxu can't do without children?"

"Although four nominal mothers suddenly appeared, they still had to visit the four concubines' palaces every day. They faced the mirror and turned their backs to this man. The so-called emperor at that time could only kneel on the ground. Is that exaggeration?"

"Politely ask a few questions: Have you eaten? Have you slept? Have you done your homework?"

"Then?"

"No more!"

"There are only a group of eunuchs and maids around. After all, children are naughty. They often play hide-and-seek and can't find anyone. They scare the eunuchs."

"Later, they were also ruthless and brainwashed them with various ghost stories before going to bed. They were as scary as they wanted. As a result..."

"Puyi is completely frightened and rushed to the street!"

Ding Xu shook his head. There are still many things that cannot be broadcast. The eunuchs are okay, but at most they are only hurt by talking. Those old maids who are hungry?

There is only a man by my side, even though he is just a child, he can barely make do with it, right?
As a result, all kinds of ravages and tortures made the little flower bone infertile?
Find someone to reason with!
"Puyi's misery is really tragic." Ding Xu walked into the dining room and continued: "According to his own memoirs, each meal seems to have more than 20 dishes, but he is often hungry."

"Because most of these dishes are just for show, and there are very few that can be eaten. If you eat a little bit more, you will be stopped by the dead eunuch?"

"What I eat the most every day is steamed buns and porridge!"

"I was very hungry once, and when I met a team delivering meals to concubines, I went up to grab a piece of meat and ate it. Unfortunately, I was snatched back by the team before I had eaten a few bites."

"Please beat me up on the public screen!"

"Later, I made a list directly for revenge. It takes 22 kilograms of vegetables and meat to cook for this man every day. Calculate, 660 kilograms a month?"

"Including six concubines and the queen mother, 960 catties of vegetables and meat per month!"

"There are 380 or eight chickens and ducks?"

"He was only five years old at that time!"

"A person eats 240 chickens and ducks a month?"

"What a liar!"

Ding Xu took a breath and said disdainfully: "Everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs understands."

Continue to go forward and come to a large hall, located in the northwest of Shenwumen, north of the northwest corner of the Forbidden City, one of the areas that has not been opened yet.

"Great Gaoxuan Palace, the name must have never been heard by everyone, but there was once a shocking secret hidden here!"

"The edict of Kangxi's succession to Yongzheng was once hidden here."

"The pass is on the fourth elder brother or the fourteenth elder brother?"

"Everyone Baidu by themselves."

Because it was too broken, even the gate couldn't be opened, so we had to keep going.I finally understand why many areas are not open. It's not that I don't want to, but that my concubines can't do it.

"This is Nansan Institute. It is all built with bricks and stones, not a single piece of wood or metal. It is fireproof and durable."

"why is it like this?"

"The reason is simple: this is the prince's residence."

Seeing rows of ordinary little red houses in front of the camera, Ding Xu smiled and said, "You read that right, this is where the prince lives."

"From the 40th to the 60th year of Qianlong, Emperor Jiaqing Yongyan lived in the Zhongsuo of the Southern Third Institute, which is the first room there."

"After Jiaqing succeeded to the throne, it became a deadly rule for princes to live in Yuqing Palace when they were young, and then move to Nansan after marriage."

"Later, Daoguang and Xianfeng both lived here, and the regent Zaifeng also lived here during the reign of Xuantong."

"So the prince is also very hard, right?"

"The emperor who is not successful will always be trembling. The other brothers, the emperor Cheng, can only survive if he is not in the wrong team. Those princes' mansions and Gege mansions outside are all lucky ones out of a hundred."

"Brother Xu has good news. The Third South Institute may truly open to the outside world at the end of this year. You must come and see it then!"

"Experience that being an emperor is not something that can be done casually!"
