What were the courtrooms in ancient palaces used for? Why did Yu Ji dare not go there?

The Imperial Palace is an institution in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Its main duties are to manage eunuchs and the bedding of emperors and concubines, which are called "reinforcing eunuchs" and "managing palace etiquette".

"Screening eunuchs" means taking charge of eunuchs, including their recruitment, training, rewards and punishments, transfer, appointment and removal. Many people who want to enter the palace because they can't make a living have to report to the respect room. Respect room has a special purification room called "Silkworm Room". This is because the wound of the cleansed person is easy to be infected with a stroke, so when castrating a person, the respect room will choose a warm and closed room for the operation to minimize the pain.

Eunuchs are afraid to go to the worship room after entering the palace, because being called to the worship room is either punished or tested. Needless to say, if you make a mistake, you will be sent to the respect room. The main reason for the physical examination is that you are afraid that your clean body will be unclean and become a "teapot without a mouth". If it is found that the castration is not clean, it will be stabbed again. Castration is a very cruel thing. A castrated person will heal his wound within a hundred days, which is tantamount to taking a trip before the gate of hell. If you do it again now, you will naturally be scared.

The main purpose of "management of palace etiquette" is to make the emperor temperate in sex. It is said that the emperor is the head of a country and there are many concubines in the harem. In order to prevent the emperor from having too much sexual intercourse, he made and operated some rules. The eunuch who respects the house should record the date when the emperor made love with the queen and his concubines. Every sexual intercourse should be recorded once, and the year and month should be recorded to prevent these concubines from getting pregnant in the future.

Another duty of the worship room is to curry favor with the concubines, which is the pleasure of the emperor in the evening-turning over the brand. Every day after the emperor had dinner, the eunuch in charge of the worship room would carry a silver plate with dozens of green brands in it. Those concubines who want to win the favor of the emperor will bribe the eunuch in charge of the worship room and let the eunuch in charge put the green sign with the name of the concubine in a more conspicuous position.

If the emperor is not interested in sex today, just wave his hand or say "step down", and all the concubines will live alone tonight. If you want to have sex with any princess tonight, just turn over the sign with her name on it and put it back on the silver plate, then this princess can be loved by the emperor tonight. The other concubines left the room empty, and the manager came out with a plate and gave the sign to the eunuch who was responsible for carrying the concubines back to the emperor's bedroom. The eunuch will run to inform the overturned concubine and tell her that your husband wants you to play with him tonight, so it's a waste of time.

After the princess took a bath, she could only be wrapped in brocade by the maid-in-waiting, and the eunuch carried the princess to the emperor's bedroom. At this time, the emperor was already waiting in bed, the princess got into bed from the dragon's foot and had a good time with the emperor, while the main manager of the worship room had to stand guard outside the door and listen to the indoor fighting. In order not to let the emperor die in the upper hand, it was almost time to listen, so he shouted outside the door, "Time is up." Sometimes concubines satisfy the emperor and ignore the call of the manager when they are trapped in a gentle town. But the manager's duty is to remind the emperor to be temperate and will continue to shout. When he shouted for the third time, the emperor had to stop fighting, and the ancestral system could not be broken!

Some concubines are afraid of respectful rooms. After the battle, the emperor asked the eunuch to carry the princess in and the concubine out of the door. At this time, the eunuch in charge went in and asked the emperor, "Do you want to stay?" The emperor's answer is related to the princess's efforts tonight and the subsequent development. If the emperor says to stay, then everyone will be happy. The eunuch in charge will take out a small notebook and write down that the emperor is lucky to have a princess at some point. Of course, whether the princess can get pregnant depends on luck.

If the emperor says not to stay, it is inevitable that the princess will cry. However, the master manager will find the acupuncture point somewhere between the princess's waist and thigh, rub it and let the dragon essence flow out. This is an emergency contraception, but there are also mistakes in this way. Those tenacious dragon spirits don't flow out, and the princess is pregnant, and she will suffer more.

Because the emperor said not to leave, he just didn't want the princess to be pregnant with dragon seeds, so he had to have an abortion. In ancient times, giving birth to a child was half a step away from the gate of hell, and abortion was also very painful to the body. Needless to say, if the induced abortion is not done well, it is basically impossible for this princess to have another baby in the future, and most of them will be abolished.

After ancient women entered the palace, the emperor was the only male. In order to live a better life, he can only try his best to please the emperor. In the final analysis, a few people who can be loved by the emperor, and those who can't be loved by the emperor, can only wander around the garden and read books every day and live a canary life in a cage.
