The ancient concubines were unwell, and the king insisted on luck. What should I do?

Generally speaking, this rarely happens, because if the concubines are unwell or inconvenient that day, they will inform the emperor in advance. It used to be a very obscure thing for me, so it was naturally inconvenient to say it directly, so I thought of several euphemistic ways to express it.

First, put on the ring. The emperor will make a special ring for each concubine. If the concubines are unwell or have their period that day, they will wear this ring on their hands, and the emperor will understand what it means at a glance.

Second, hang a red lantern. In some dynasties, if a woman was inconvenient, she would hang a red lantern in front of the door. In this way, the king can understand what it is.

This custom also exists among the people. Some people have three wives and four concubines and choose a concubine to serve them every day. When wives and concubines are inconvenient, they will use red lanterns to express them, so as to avoid making a trip in vain and making men unhappy.

Third, remove the brand. In the Qing dynasty, concubines needed to turn over the brand when they slept. If the concubines are unwell that day, they will naturally report to the respect room. I checked the respectful room and found that it was really not suitable for sleeping, so I gave away the brand of this concubine.

We saw in the TV series that the brand concubines was positive, but in the past, this brand was actually reverse. In other words, the emperor can't see the names of any concubines, even if he takes off the brand of concubines, he can't find out without paying attention.

There are also some concubines who try their best to compete for favor. Even if he is unwell, he will cheat the emperor into his bedroom first. I can't serve the emperor myself, there are so many ladies in the palace.

These people have served the emperor, or they are one of their own, which is better than the emperor going to other concubines' palaces. This kind of thing often happens, otherwise there wouldn't be so many ladies-in-waiting who ended up as concubines.
