Empress Dowager Tu Hy and the secret of the bed with 'half-lean and half-fat' lovers shook public opinion

Empress Dowager Tu Xi (1835-1908) came from the Manchurian Tuong Lam Ky. In the year Ham Phong (1851) entered the palace as a concubine, 6 years later, Tai Thuan was born (Emperor Dong Tri) and was named Quy Phi, this is also the highest position until Emperor Ham Phong died.

Emperor Dong Tri ascended to the throne, she was ordained as the Holy Mother of the Empress Dowager, and entered the Manchurian Tuong Hoang Ky (one of the 8 periods of the Qing Dynasty).

At the age of 26, Tu Xi became a widow with a single bed, so Chinese history has rumored many stories about her living quarters, although this is a "delicate" matter that history does not mention. record.

According to rumors, this empress dowager is famous throughout the harem for her selfless lifestyle. In it, many famous people at that time also had to go through the hands of this beautiful famous woman.

The first person to mention is Prince Cung Dich, who, even before entering the palace, Tu Hy was imprisoned for sex. When she was chosen to be a concubine in the harem, it was said that the 16-year-old girl often took advantage of when people were not paying attention to sneak away to the Prince to satisfy pleasure, even some people were skeptical. Emperor Dong Tri was not the biological son of Ham Phong, but the stepchild of Queen Mother Tu Hy and Than Vuong.

At the height of power, Tu Hy was quite loyal to Vinh Loc, her first lover. According to historical records, it was Vinh Loc who saved Tu Hy from a bad case, so this girl fell in love with her benefactor. From here, the relationship of both was fruitful until Tu Hy entered the palace. Because of her love for Vinh Loc, this Empress Dowager also let her lover participate in determining the successor to the throne (ie Emperor Quang Pho). Later, when she fled the coalition of 8 countries, Tu Hy's faithful lover always stood by her side to overcome many tribulations and bitterness.

However, it seems that only one lover is not enough to meet the "demand" so high, so this powerful woman also owns "half-male and half-female" mistresses. Kang You in a book said: "Empress Dowager Cixi is a violent evil woman, an old woman who makes everyone evil, lives a rich and licentious life. As a queen mother, a The princess was in a bad state, her health was very good, her desire for love was also very strong.The top of her eunuchs was not merely a eunuch, but also one of the lovers in the palace. her whole life".

The person Khang Huu mentioned here is the eunuch An Duc Hai and Ly Lien Anh. Because eunuchs are not fertile, Tu Hy's relationship with these eunuchs is mostly a form of psychological stimulation and comfort. Not only that, known as a docile eunuch, Ly Lien Anh also knew how to meet the needs of Empress Dowager Tu Hy, so she received special favor from her, although this indulgence was accompanied by a perverted psychological disposition.

Van Dinh Thuc of the Qing Dynasty once mentioned a story like this in "The Question of Tran Nuu Ky", in the spring of the 8th year of Quang Tu, the famous Liu Ly workshop in Beijing had an antique dealer with the surname Bach, this man was handsome, stylish, skillful, after being introduced to the palace by Ly Lien Anh, this person was favored by Empress Dowager Tu Hy, summoned him to the palace to stay for a month before he was released.

Not long after, the Empress Dowager became pregnant. Empress Dowager Tu An, after knowing about the incident, got angry and wanted to use this excuse to disqualify Empress Dowager Tu Hy's title of Emperor. The great minister advised that it was best not to do it because he was worried that the Empress Dowager Tu An would not be able to keep her life, however, Queen Tu An did not listen, as a result, she died suddenly that same night.

Not only that, folk also circulated Tu Hy's relationship with a boy surnamed Su, owner of a soup restaurant outside the city. This man has a very bright appearance, so when he first met in Ly Lien Anh's room, the empress dowager told the eunuch Li to "give up" this guy to her. Therefore, the young man surnamed Su was often brought to the palace to join Tu Hy... to have breakfast and then dinner.

Then it was also rumored that, after a year of communication with a boy surnamed Su, Tu Hy was pregnant and gave birth to a son. Because she was an empress dowager, she did not dare to raise this son in the palace, but sent him to be raised in the house of Thuan Prince Dich Hoan, then harmed a boy surnamed Su to silence, this child was later Emperor Quang Tu. This. However, all these information are just rumors and not included in the official history, so the authenticity of the case has not been concluded. However, there is still a saying "there is no smoke without fire", the tongue of folklore often has a shadow of the truth.

The most famous of Tu Hy's extramarital affairs was with a foreign lover named Edmund Backhous. In Edmund's autobiography "The Empress Dowager and I", this man revealed that his special relationship with Tu Xi began in 1902, when he was only 29 years old, and the Empress Dowager Tu Xi was only 29 years old. turned 67 years old.

This man honestly describes that "Apart from Empress Dowager Cixi, no one can make him have true passion". He wrote: "Though Empress Dowager Tu Hy is almost 70 years old, she still has a bright, beautiful and youthful face. Her figure is slim, graceful, hands with long, soft fingers, bangs. her long hair is still black and smooth. When she smiles, everyone falls in love...". Therefore, despite the age difference of several decades, Tu Hy always makes his lover satisfied by the intensity of desire as well as from the beauty of the sky to the outside.

Edmund also revealed that, despite her advanced age, Empress Dowager Tu's sex life was still extremely prolific. When she was in high spirits, she even forced her lover to perform countless difficult poses that made her young lover listless. The secret to preserving her beauty and maintaining her suppleness, satisfying her storms, was also recorded by Edmund. Accordingly, Tu Hy attaches special importance to enjoying dishes that are considered the quintessence of heaven and earth to improve old age, improve kidney health, and enhance health for each rainy season. One of the dishes especially favored by Empress Dowager Tu Hy is Sam Tu, a live stomach rat.
