Yan Xi Palace is located in the east of the Forbidden City, near Cangzhen Gate. As far as living experience is concerned, Yan Xi Palace is not a good place to live. The daily necessities and sacrificial supplies of the harem pass through the Cangzhen Gate in front of Yan Xi Palace. It's noisy and crowded. Therefore, the concubines who live here are of low rank and are not liked by the emperor. For example, when Xu He and his wife agreed to live here during the reign of Kangxi, Tianhao reached the highest position during the reign of Daoguang.
