Qingning Palace has five bays, front and back corridors and hard mountain style. The door of the room opens in the east room, and the west side of the room forms a "private room" pattern, and the east tip is the queen's bedroom. The wide bay window is simple in style, the horizontal bars intersect in the form of "three arrows", and the palace door does not need to be separated by fans. The Soren poles erected in front of the palace are all derived from the traditional style of Manchu people.
Legend has it that before entering the customs, the emperor did not have his own separate bedroom. If the emperor and the queen don't get along, they won't go back to Qingning Palace in a rage, and the concubines in other palaces will find excuses not to let the queen bear grudges, so the emperor can only go to the study for the night.
The chimney behind Qingning Palace is the only one in the Forbidden City. It is a typical "cross-sea chimney" with Manchu characteristics. Its function is to exhaust the smoke from the kang burned in Qingning Palace and the pork burned during the sacrifice.
