On the survival of cold palace

Partners who have chased costume dramas should know that when the princess angered Long Yan and did something shameful, the emperor shook his hand and went into the cold palace. As a result, the concubines who were put in limbo cried and had a runny nose. I hope the emperor can't forgive me. From the plot, we can learn more or less about the living conditions of the concubine who was put in limbo.

However, there is actually no cold palace, such a palace. It's just that some palaces in the Forbidden City once played the role of "cold palace".

Let's talk about what is a cold palace first;

It is even more tragic that once a woman who is elected to the palace falls out of favor, she will die alone in the palace. Generally speaking, for the sake of the royal family's face, it is unlikely that a concubine will commit a crime. What about the wrong concubine? There is always room for them. So there was a cold palace. Where is the "cold palace" of the Forbidden City? There is no fixed place. "Lenggong" has no fixed address, and any place where concubines are forbidden to go in and out is commonly known as "Lenggong".

Second: Let's take a brief look at neglected concubines.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Gongfei was put into limbo by the Emperor Wanli and imprisoned in Jingyang Palace, the most remote of the six palaces. I haven't seen my son for ten years and lived a lonely and painful life. Ordinary life is also conceivable. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the Emperor was revealed, Princess Li Cheng spoke out bravely and offended the powerful eunuch Wei Zhongxian. She was driven from Changchun Palace to Ganxi, west of the Imperial Garden, where she lived for four years. There are three people who have been living in seclusion in the west, namely Ding Fei, Qi and Ke Di. This "cold palace" is in the west of the Forbidden City. Before Emperor Guangxu's concubine fell into the well by Cixi, it was said that she was kept in the north of Qijing Pavilion (now collapsed). This place is in the mountain gate to the west of today's town flying well. If this rumor from the eunuch's mouth is true, then this place is also considered "cold palace". According to the old eunuch in charge, Zhen Fei, who was tortured in prison, had a messy face and was covered with lice, which was completely different from the beautiful face of the past and looked terrible. It can be seen that the suffering of the cold palace years is definitely a double torture for women's body and mind! People who have been hit hard both physically and mentally will naturally have no good results in limbo, so the concubines in limbo will not live long. (unofficial history) Third: Let's talk about the treatment in the cold palace.

In history, it is extremely rare for concubines to be abolished like Shu Ren. Generally, only titles will be abolished and relegated to low-level concubines. Zhen Fei was once demoted to a noble person. Even if she is abolished like Shu Ren, she will be kept in a dark little house, no different from a prisoner, and not allowed to leave the palace. For example, the Queen Wang was defeated in the court struggle with Wu Zetian, was abolished, and was kept in a dark room. This is the cruelty of the court struggle.

If torture, can be said to be psychological and living standards. It will cause great trauma. It's not like being trampled by a girl in a TV series. Maybe there will be, and many of them are impossible to verify.
