In ancient times, the person with the highest status must be the emperor, almost no one who does not want to become an emperor, even if the status of women in ancient times is so low, but also think that one day can become a superior person, otherwise there will not be a female emperor named Wu Zetian in the history of our country, just because after sitting on the throne, it is almost going to be windy and rainy, in addition to no way, the real life with the sky, but where the sky is flying in the water, as long as the emperor wants, there will always be someone who will work hard to take it for him!
If you can serve in front of the emperor, if you are favored, not only will your glory and wealth not be exhausted, but even your family will go to the road of prosperity, so many young and beautiful women in ancient times may enter the palace as a showgirl before xu matching people, or be a palace girl, just to swing twice in front of the emperor, so that the emperor can familiarize himself, maybe one day the emperor will be lucky? Having a dragon in her arms is the luckiest thing in my life!
But even if you enter the palace, can you really serve in front of the palace? Although this is not the case, the palace women in the palace can reach tens of thousands of people at their peak, and some palace women may not have seen the emperor from entering the palace to leaving the palace, so how can they serve the emperor closely? This must have a good relationship with the eunuch chief, for example, the emperor will wash the dragon ditch every morning, do you know what it means? Many palace women do not shy away from it at all, but also have to rush to serve in front of the emperor early in the morning, just because this is the most close contact with the emperor, the meaning of the so-called washing dragon ditch is actually gargling, in the current words is to brush teeth!
But in ancient times, there was no toothbrush, the mouthwash used by the emperor must be fragrant, so that the emperor's mouth will remain fragrant, with ordinary water will certainly not be able to achieve this effect, then only new tea, some very valuable tea, such as the current West Lake Longjing in front of the emperor, that is how much, the same in ancient times the price is also very expensive, often the emperor counted the saliva of Longjing tea, eunuch palace women are not willing to discard, but also drink themselves!
Even if the emperor did not look at this palace girl, but the palace maid dealt with these precious tea leaves every day, maybe she could make a lot of money from it, so it is no wonder that the palace women want to serve the emperor to wash the dragon ditch!
