As many people say, the bed will be served as usual for the next month, just like the reception. What I want to explain here is that in ancient times, everyone was superstitious and thought that women's confinement was unclean, which was unacceptable to ordinary men and considered unlucky. This is especially true in the royal family. Once the emperor sees the red, it may be a crime of deceiving the monarch. The light ones will be left out in the cold, and the heavy ones may be copied. So what should I do when I meet the moon?
First of all, ladies-in-waiting
This was mainly in the early feudal society, because concubines were not institutionalized as in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Therefore, when the emperor remembered which concubine, he probably went directly to her palace. At this time, if the princess happens to be in the second month, then she will choose the most trusted and beautiful maid-in-waiting and dress up as her own.
This happened in the early Han Dynasty, when Ji Cheng, the concubine of Emperor Hanjing, came to have a baby, but Emperor Hanjing wanted her as a bedroom, so Ji Cheng sent his maid-in-waiting Tang Er to the bed of Emperor Hanjing. At this time, Emperor Han Jingdi happened to be drunk, so he didn't recognize him. Finally, the maid-in-waiting became pregnant with the dragon seed. This is very rare because it is difficult to operate. Once the emperor is unhappy, he may punish you for cheating the monarch. So it seems that it is rarely used in future generations.
Second, make a mark.
According to historical records, "the concubines of emperors and princes ... can't stop the moon ... but know the face of Dan", that is to say, the concubines in the palace at that time would mark their faces with red rouge or other red pigments if their moon came. In this way, the emperor came, saw the mark on your face, and knew what was going on.
Or recorded by the female officials or eunuchs in the palace and told the emperor, then the emperor would not arrange the concubines to wait on the bed. In the Tang Dynasty, the harem would give concubines gold and silver rings, and when the time came, they would wear them. So the emperor knew when he saw it. Other dynasties used red ropes or lanterns. When the emperor came to the palace and saw the red lanterns hanging high, he understood that the concubines had turned red and no longer received guests.
Third, take the initiative to report.
This is the custom of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, because after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the emperor let the concubine be his bedroom, and no longer went to her bedroom. The eunuch washed her and sent her to the emperor's bed. All the emperor has to do is turn over a brand, or directly call the roll. In the Qing Dynasty, every concubine had a green sign with her name on it. After dinner, a plate will be taken to the worship room dedicated to the birth of the emperor. Whose brand did the emperor take? That's who.
So, at this time, what the concubine has to do is to let her menstruation come, and report to Gongshi before the emperor finishes eating, so that the eunuch in Gongshi can take off your brand directly when he sees your menstruation coming. I won't put it on the plate. You need to report it when you leave so that you can be added. If you don't report it, the eunuch will probably forget it, and you will never have a chance to serve in bed again.
