Empress Dowager Tu Xi just woke up and immediately "destroyed" the eunuch and the courtesan, the reason was extremely terrifying

The fact that Empress Dowager Tu Xi is said to be the most beautiful person in the Qing Dynasty has caused a lot of doubts and controversy because it is not clear whether this is true or exaggerated by others.

However, when looking at her photos when she was young, combined with historical books, it can be seen that the young Empress Dowager Tu Xi was indeed a great beauty.

At the age of 16, Tu Hi entered the palace and became Lan Gui. However, Thanh Van Tong Ham Phong Emperor at that time had many concubines, so Tu Xi was not favored by the king at this time. Looking to the future, fearing that he would never be favored, Tu Xi found all kinds of ways to meet the emperor.

Tu Xi was smart, she began to bribe An Duc Hai, the eunuch to serve Emperor Ham Phong to introduce her. An Duc Hai has done his job well. As soon as Emperor Ham Feng saw Tu Xi, he was completely fascinated by the beauty of this palace. So immediately afterwards, Tu Xi from Lan Guinhan was promoted to 1 level of Qin Fei. After that, she was ordained as Yi Fei, Guifei and finally the Empress. There are many reasons for this, and the beauty of Tu Xi is an important point.

Regarding the appearance of Empress Dowager Cixi, both China and other countries have saved a lot of historical documents discussing this issue.

The book "Manchu Qing Foreign History" described the Empress Dowager Tu Xi as follows: "Although she is young, she is very wise, and her beauty has no rival." (Describing the p.eriod when Tu Xi was young). This description is very specific and standard, very suitable for the way of writing in traditional historical documents.

A female servant pictured with the shadow of Empress Dowager Tu Xi, that is Du Duc Linh also described Tu Xi in her own work as: "Tu Xi is a beautiful and loving beauty, brilliant beauty, straight and tall figure, although the queen mother's face has gradually aged, but still retains a solemn and elegant temperament."

Considering the special master-servant relationship between Duc Linh and Tu Hi, and the extremely dense "novel" nature of this nun's work, it can be seen that the details describing "loving and elegant" are not credible.

Empress Dowager Tu Xi has an extremely humble background. In the 2nd year of Ham Phong, she participated in the selection and reached the final round. In that year, she was appointed as a nobleman. With her beautiful beauty and rare wisdom, Empress Dowager Tu Xi gradually competed for power, won the throne and became the regent later.

Not only passionate about power, Empress Dowager Tu Xi also finds ways to maintain her beauty. After seizing power, she mainly focused on eating, having fun and preserving her youth.

According to history books, the life of Empress Dowager Tu Xi was extremely luxurious, it is said that she never drank well water, the water that Tu Xi drank was mineral water, clear spring water and even stagnant water. Tu Hi believes that this type of water is purer, after drinking it, it can beautify the s.kin and prolong life.

Documents show that Empress Dowager Tu Xi used a lot of fresh roses and jasmine flowers to put in the bath, often using honeysuckle water to pat her face. In addition, she also drinks pearl powder 10 times a day along with precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng and deer velvet to prolong her youth.

Hearing rumors that drinking human milk is good for beauty, Empress Dowager Tu Xi raised a lot of nannies in the palace to get an abundant source of fresh milk every day. Therefore, many history books record that in the last years of her life, her s.kin was still very smooth, tight and shiny.

However, no matter how the elixir is used, there is still a large gap between a 60-year-old woman and a 20-year-old woman. Empress Dowager Tu Xi's interference in political affairs and control of power is against the laws of the royal ancestors, so there are many people who oppose it. This made her face a lot of pressure, not getting enough rest. Her beauty therefore quickly faded, her s.kin deteriorated, and many age spots appeared.

In daily life, in order to please Empress Dowager Tu Xi, the courtiers and eunuchs around her often praise Tu Xi for her beautiful, youthful s.kin and good care process.

Because Empress Dowager Tu Xi loves beauty very much, she cares about what others say about her appearance. Even if the courtiers and eunuchs around did not dare to comment, Empress Dowager Tu Xi would know what they were thinking through her subtle expressions.

Because she didn't want outsiders to see the moment of her deterioration, Empress Dowager Tu Xi often covered her face with a piece of cloth when she slept. The first thing she does after waking up is put on makeup and then goes to the bathroom. Due to the deterioration of beauty, the old Buddhist spends a long time painting his face.

Once Empress Dowager Tu Xi went to bed late, so she didn't wake up on time the next morning. The eunuchs and courtiers who waited for her servants in the morning were all waiting outside, nearly 50 people in all. Due to lack of sleep, the Empress Dowager dreamily called her servants in. A eunuch who had just entered the palace saw the Empress Dowager's wooden face for the first time and revealed her horror. At this time, the Empress Dowager was awake, so she immediately ordered this person to be executed.

There were some people who begged for the new eunuch's life. Empress Dowager Tu Xi was furious, so she decided to execute all the courtiers and eunuchs who came to the servants at that time to k.ill all those who had seen her wooden face.

Empress Dowager Tu Xi's cruel actions are still passed down to posterity. It shows Tu Xi's helplessness when trying to hold on to her youth, and at the same time shows her j.ealousy of young and beautiful courtiers and eunuchs.

Empress Dowager Cixi terrified the palace maids when she served her to sleep, exhausted to the point of d.eath.
