The queen is the mother of a country, and her status and dress are naturally inferior to other concubines. Although Hua Fei has more clothes, she is not as atmospheric as the queen. Although the queen's clothes are not many and the colors are not very bright, the most striking thing is the huge string of pearls on the queen's ear. There is only one pair of earrings in the whole play. You know, the whole crew is not short of money, but why does the queen only wear those earrings from beginning to end? What are the other reasons?
First of all, when the nun entered the palace to pay homage to the concubines, Hua Fei said to the queen: The jade in the interior office is not green, but fortunately the emperor gave her a pair. At this time, the queen pointed out that her earrings were made of Dongzhu, which, as its name implies, was a pearl produced in Northeast China. Oriental Pearl symbolizes status in Qing Dynasty, and it can only be worn by emperors, empresses and empresses in Qing Dynasty. In the harem, only the queen can wear it, and the East Pearl of the queen is given by the emperor, so the queen naturally cherishes it.
Then why does the queen have to take off her makeup every night, and why does she have to pick her own earrings? In fact, this is just a kind of spiritual "exclusion". Why? Because in ancient times, the queen was the wife of the emperor, no matter how many concubines the emperor had, they were all nominal concubines, and the queen was the wife. The queen's earrings were given by the emperor himself, unlike other gifts, and as we all know, the queen attaches great importance to her identity and hates being mentioned as a concubine. Dongzhu, who represents the queen, is naturally not allowed to be touched by her.
