First, it is because when Empress Dowager Cixi is resting, the most important thing is safety. Empress Dowager Cixi lives in Palace of Gathered Elegance. Of course, the place where Empress Dowager Cixi lives has to be heavily guarded, because everyone has to ensure the safety of Empress Dowager Cixi. Therefore, the ladies-in-waiting at the vigil can't take it lightly, although they want to protect Empress Dowager Cixi, no matter how sleepy they are. Guards are forbidden to enter and leave the harem, only eunuchs and maids can, so Palace of Gathered Elegance is the most heavily guarded place. At the bedtime of Empress Dowager Cixi, eunuchs on duty always work overtime. At this time, the palace gate will be closed, and the maids and eunuchs on duty are busy, waiting for Lafayette to fall asleep. Off-duty maids and eunuchs can't walk around at will.
Second, when Empress Dowager Cixi has a rest, the maid-in-waiting should always stay by her side, sit awake, and be ready to wait on Empress Dowager Cixi at any time, change clothes and go to the toilet. Therefore, the ladies-in-waiting have no time to rest, so they should always be prepared, so they are tired and weak at night. Especially when the queen mother gets up at night, she must be accompanied. Because the queen mother is a delicate person, she feels that no place can be dirty. She always puts away her clothes when she sleeps, and then makes the quilt. When you get up at night, the maid-in-waiting has to wait on her to dress. When she comes back from the toilet, the maid-in-waiting has to continue to serve the queen mother to sleep. She couldn't sleep one night. Fortunately, the queen mother doesn't have to get up at night. If you are unlucky, you will be too sleepy at night. The queen mother will blame, which will not only endanger her own life, but also bring trouble to her family, because at that time it seemed that she didn't take other people's lives seriously at all, and she was exhausted just waiting on the queen mother at night.
Third, the reason is that Empress Dowager Cixi has no one she trusts. She lacks trust in others, so she has been with her. Almost every night, the maids who serve her to sleep are the same or all. Under normal circumstances, others will not be replaced. Therefore, these maids serve at the same time every day. One night was fine, but I'm sure I can't stand it for the next few nights. I have to continue working during the day because I can't sleep well at night. After a long time, the maid on duty is very tired and is not allowed to change at will. Because Empress Dowager Cixi lacks trust in others, only people she trusts are left around at ordinary times, so these people are also very busy outside, and they have to keep vigil for her every day. Sometimes they can't sleep at night, and the maids will be very tired. ?
Empress Dowager Cixi has always been particular about it, especially in her daily life, so none of the maids and eunuchs around her said that she was unfortunate and bitter, because she could not change shifts at will, and no one dared to neglect Empress Dowager Cixi. The ladies-in-waiting who serve her should always record the sleep of the Queen Mother. Of course, unlike today's smart watches, Cixi relies entirely on the manual observation of maids, so it is very possible that maids don't sleep at night. The maid-in-waiting on duty should also keep a record of the situation. Once the service is not good, she will lose her head at any time, and the quality of life of Empress Dowager Cixi is gradually improving. Of course, the maids are so tired.
