Preface
For the women in the palace, as long as they are beaten into the cold palace by the emperor, it is basically hopeless to turn over, which means that their lives will be extremely miserable in the future.
But every time at this time, there are a lot of eunuchs vying to serve the concubines in the cold palace, what is going on?
What is Cold Palace?
In TV dramas, we can often see such a scene, when a concubine makes some unforgivable mistakes, the emperor will always wave his hand and say: "Put a certain concubine into the cold palace!"
At this time, those concubines will sit on the ground as if they have lost their souls, and then the concubines will be thrown into the cold palace to fend for themselves.
There are countless women, concubines and palace maids in the palace, all of whom belong to an important part of the palace, and the status level of the palace maid is the lowest in the palace.
If the emperor is unhappy, he may directly give the palace maid to death, but the treatment of the concubine is not very different, no matter what the concubine says, she is also the emperor's woman, and it is not very good for the royal family to give death rashly.
Of course, it is not excluded that the situation of giving death is not ruled out, but after all, such a situation is only a minority, and the place where most concubines go is generally the cold palace, and the cold palace is not a special place set up as people think.
As long as it is a relatively remote place where those concubines live, it is called the cold palace, generally speaking, the place where the cold palace is located is generally relatively remote, so remote that many people will not go there at all, and as for the emperor, they will not go there.
The concubines who entered the cold palace had no chance with the outside world for the rest of their lives, and the chance of turning over was even more minimal, because they could not enter and exit freely, they could only communicate with the outside world through some media.
This so-called medium is the eunuchs around them, so at this time, the group of eunuchs is very important to the cold palace concubines, and every time at this time, there will be countless eunuchs vying to serve these cold palace concubines......
The cold palace is silent, and no one asks
For the concubines in the cold palace, after entering the cold palace, the life of the cold palace is like falling from heaven to hell, but these have nothing to do with those eunuchs.
On the contrary, the concubines in the cold palace from now on are the things they dream of, without him, this kind of life is indeed a very comfortable place compared to other places in the palace.
If they serve those concubines in the cold palace, the first thing they don't need to worry about is their own lives, you must know that the rank and identity outside the cold palace are very strict.
The group of eunuchs, in front of those concubines, is almost nothing, and when they encounter some domineering concubines, they can only accompany the smiling face when they are slapped.
This is all good, if that sentence is not right, if something is not done right, they can go to the Lord of Yama to drink tea, and after going to the cold palace, they will not have this kind of concern.
After all, the cold palace is remote, and naturally no one cares about these abolished concubines, so no one knows how they treat these concubines.
Another point is that eunuchs can squeeze these abandoned concubines in the cold palace, no matter what these abandoned concubines say, they have to be favored for a period of time, and they still have some silver money in their hands.
If they wanted to live a slightly better life, they needed to bribe the eunuchs diligently with money, and then they had to mention the eunuchs' salaries, which were paid every month.
The amount of salary they received was different depending on the rank of the eunuchs, but in the palace, many things needed money to take care of them, and it was sometimes difficult to maintain them by their salaries alone.
Therefore, they can only find a way to get some silver money from other places, and this place to make money is to do good things for those superiors, or they are in a good mood, and they will be rewarded with a wave of their hands.
However, the money earned in this way is almost all the money earned by nodding and bowing, and the cold palace is different, you don't have to do much work, you can earn the money while standing, who doesn't like it?
Moreover, eunuchs can not only make money from the hands of the concubines of the cold palace, but also some people will take the initiative to give the money, although some of the concubines have been abolished in the cold palace, but she still has a family behind her.
In order to make their daughters live a better life in the cold palace, some families will also spend money to deal with these eunuchs, so to speak, the cold palace is simply an excellent holy place to lie flat.
If this concubine doesn't have any money in her hand, no mother's family, or the forces behind her to support her, it will be the most cruel ending to greet her.
Because some eunuchs may plot against them, although the eunuchs have been castrated, but under normal circumstances, eunuchs are also in demand, otherwise some eunuchs and palace maids will not have a "food" relationship.
Sometimes, these eunuchs will have some distorted psychology because of their unsound health, and the concubines in those cold palaces used to be high-ranking figures, which they could not reach.
When they fell to the bottom, what those eunuchs thought about was not to be nice to them at all, but how to squeeze their value to the extreme, after all, in the palace, true feelings are indeed rare.
Not to mention that it is already a very good thing to stretch out a hand in difficult times and not fall into the well......
The disadvantages of serving the concubines of the cold palace
Although many eunuchs are struggling to serve the concubines of the cold palace, the eunuchs who do this kind of work generally lie flat with the idea of lying down.
In the palace, the eunuch world is also very volatile, and the eunuchs who can "get ahead" are indeed a very small part, and in the long-term tempering, these eunuchs have long been exquisite.
This has to mention their understanding, as well as opportunities, both are almost indispensable, when these eunuchs have made some names in the eunuch world, they will not follow those concubines to the cold palace.
After all, outside, they can already summon a lot of people, if they go to the cold palace, isn't it to be beaten back to their original form, although in the cold palace, those eunuchs can do a lot, but once out of the cold palace, they are a relatively low status of the little eunuchs.
It can be said that applying to go to the cold palace to serve these concubines is very nourishing in life, but the eunuch's road to the top will also stagnate.
However, to be able to live in the palace, those eunuchs are not stupid, who is temporarily living in the cold palace, they are still clear......
