The concubine in the cold palace usually has nothing to do, so what can she do to pass the time?

Speaking of the Cold Palace, I think it is a beautiful place. The environment is quiet, you have food, clothing, and nothing to do. If you live in such an environment, you will be like a god. The only regret is that he is grounded and cannot leave, and at the same time he will never see the emperor again. However, even if they are not thrown into the cold palace, they actually dare not take a step outside the palace casually. They are still within the high wall. If you are unlucky, it will be difficult to see the emperor. It was even more difficult to give birth to a son for the emperor.

However, because we are not immersed in the scene, we are completely unable to experience the misery of the concubine who was relegated to the cold palace. Those concubines who were relegated to the cold palace were like being imprisoned in prison. What they received was not only physical torture, but also mental torture. This kind of torture is terrible for them. Because they live a stagnant life with no end in sight. So, how did they pass the lonely and gloomy time in such a cold palace?

In fact, our ancient poets have already shown us the lives of the concubines who were relegated to the cold palace in their poetry creations.

1. Cry.

Representative verse: ? Tears wet the turban and the dream cannot come true, singing in the front hall late at night. ?

This is probably the first stage of being thrown into the cold palace. The concubine will cry all day and night. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep, and when I wake up I find my eyes full of tears.

But that’s not the most important thing. The most terrible thing is that at this time, I can still hear the singing from the front hall. And those singing sounds were the expression of the joy of other concubines, which would make her feel even more uncomfortable.

2. Sleep.

Representative verse: ?Spring is late in the lonely empty garden, and the pear blossoms are all over the ground but the door is closed. ?

After crying enough, it’s probably time to sleep. I no longer care about good times and beautiful scenery. Even if the pear blossoms are covered with branches, I am not in the mood to appreciate them and let them fall all over the ground. ,

I lie in bed every day and fall into a drowsy sleep. This should be the second stage after the concubine was relegated to the cold palace.

3. Lazy.

Representative verse:? The osmanthus leaves have not painted the eyebrows for a long time, and the remaining makeup and tears stain the red silk. ?

Women care about their appearance. In ancient times, aristocratic women would paint their eyebrows and lips carefully. Concubines, in particular, pay more attention to their makeup. If the makeup is not done properly, the king will never see it.

After Mrs. Li fell ill, her appearance became ugly and her makeup was also messed up. In order to prevent Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty from seeing her ugly appearance, she did not let Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty see her at all costs. He stayed like this until his death, and he would not let Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty see it. It shows how much she cares about her makeup.

However, the concubine who was thrown into the harem no longer cared about her makeup. Why doesn't she care? Because makeup is for the king, and a woman’s appearance is for those who please her. If there is no king to come, is there any need to dress up? Therefore, they are extremely lazy. This is about the third stage of the concubine who was relegated to the cold palace.

Four. Memory.

Representative verse: "Women cross the stream every year, recalling each other picking hibiscus." ?

There is no time and no stories in the cold palace. Therefore, the concubine can probably only live by memories.

At that time, they will think about the life scenes when they were still among the people. Life at that time was poor and required working all day long. However, the days are happy. Going to the lake to pick lotus flowers with a few sisters was a life full of fun.

When the concubines thought about this, they couldn't help but laugh. But after laughing, it will be even sadder. Living by memories, this is probably the fourth stage of the concubines who were thrown into the harem.

5. Stay.

Representative verse: ?The sky is as cold as water at night, and I sit and watch Altair and Vega. ?

Time is very important to each of us. We will arrange our work and rest according to the changes of the four seasons and morning and evening. For example, when spring comes, you will wear less clothes, and when autumn comes, you will add more clothes. He will sleep at night and get up at dawn. Three meals a day, eating, drinking, and eating will all be arranged.

However, for the concubine who was relegated to the cold palace, time is meaningless. When night comes, they may not sleep. When daytime comes, they don’t necessarily get up. Especially at night, I can't sleep even more.

What should I do if I can’t sleep? I can only get up, sit on the steps, and be in a daze.

If the night sky is clear, I can also count the stars.

However, it should be said that the concubine was relatively calm at this time and was no longer as emotionally intense as before. Even when I look at the stars at night, I can't help but think about the Morning Glory and the Weaver Girl. But I just watched it. There is no greater sorrow than the death of one's heart. Not only will I no longer cry, but I can even do things like "Qingluo fan and fluttering fireflies".

This should be the fifth stage of the concubine who was relegated to the cold palace.

6. Talk.

Representative verse:? The white-headed palace maid is here, sitting around talking about Xuanzong. ?

If they cannot survive, these concubines will probably die of depression.

If you are lucky enough to survive, after many years, your hair will have turned white. At this time, the concubines were probably no longer sad or happy. Not only is there no sadness or joy, but you can also find one or two palace maids to sit together and talk about the emperor's favor with you.

Speaking of which, this scene is shocking. However, this is the final true mentality of the concubines.
