The Qing Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty in the history of China, is closer to the present era. There are many and detailed historical records about its court affairs and harem secrets. According to previous records, Cixi ate 500 eggs a day. Seeing this, I was almost shocked. This number is amazing. Even if she only eats eggs for three meals a day, she can't eat that much. She has been eating, and she can finish it. The point is that she can't digest it. But then a eunuch's notes cleared her name, saying that she would only use 20 at most. So, where did the rest go?

Anyone who has seen costume dramas knows that all the officials and ladies-in-waiting in the palace live in the dining room. They will corrupt and buy ingredients, buy them for the emperor and the queen mother, and deduct one place from another. They must be a little interested in everything. If you want to buy 20 eggs, once it reaches everyone, you have to add 500 eggs layer by layer. This will make everyone happy and benefit everyone. Perhaps Empress Dowager Cixi is the only one in the harem who doesn't know. In other words, although Empress Dowager Cixi ate 20 eggs every day, she actually bought 500 eggs every day, which he didn't know.

There is also a name called Kuanzhai, aboveboard. When shopping, you should not buy as many ingredients as Empress Dowager Cixi actually used, so you should buy more spare ones. At first glance, it makes sense. Not only longevity dining room, but also our imperial dining room. If Emperor Guangxu needs one kilogram of purple rice every day, the imperial dining hall will use 25 kilograms of fine purple rice every day. So where did 24 Jin of rice go? It's simple. Must have been pocketed by leaders of all sizes.

This actually has a lot to do with our Cixi. She is a person who longs for her happiness.
