It takes three or four hours every morning from getting up to going to the morning. What has Cixi been doing these hours? I still want to know that women love beauty regardless of their status, and Cixi is no exception. Although Cixi is very beautiful, in order to maintain this beauty, Cixi can be said to have done her best. Some court health preserving methods handed down from ancient times are basically in use. The older you get, the more time and means you spend on beauty.

Ancient people got up early. Cixi basically got up at three or four in the morning. After getting up, she sat on the bed, waiting for the maid-in-waiting to come and wait on her. She soaked the rose petals in hot water, first wrapped her hands in a hot towel, and then changed a few pots of hot water to make them soft. It is said that this is Cixi's unique fitness method, and she often soaks her hands like this. When Cixi was very old, her hands were as tender as a teenage girl.

Soaking her hands, she began to wash her face and adopted the practice of hot compress. After nearly an hour, she still had to dress up and put on rouge and powder. After all these are dressed up, Cixi still wants to smoke a lot, and smoking a lot is also a must-do item in the morning. Then start eating. Cixi is famous for her luxury. It is said that Cixi needs hundreds of dishes for a meal. Cixi will take a bite when she looks at that pleasing to the eye. If it is not pleasing to the eye, she will not move. The meal that Cixi ate was enough for ordinary people to eat at home for some time.

After breakfast, a maid-in-waiting came to serve gargle with water, drank morning tea, smoked a big cigarette, and then put on morning clothes before going out. It will be three or four hours after this. According to seven o'clock in the morning, Cixi basically got up at three or four in the morning, so I still admire her perseverance in getting up early for a long time.
