Cining Palace is located in the deepest part of the Forbidden City. Two powerful and tall unicorns guard the door. Surrounded by ancient cypress trees, it is elegant and tranquil. Because it is the palace of the Empress Dowager, it appears mysterious and solemn. In the Dongnuan Pavilion, the empress dowager, the queen mother of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Fulin, was sitting at the top, surrounded by a group of concubines and wives. They drank milk tea, chatted and passed the time. The Empress Dowager was a bit special today. She did not engage in chatting with concubines and concubines as usual. She stared at the door of Nuan Pavilion, constantly asking the time, as if she was waiting for someone. "Su Ma, what time is it now?" The Queen Mother asked. Su Ma replied: "Empress Dowager, what's going on today? This is the third time you've asked me. Back to Queen Mother, now the hour has passed and the hour has not yet arrived." "Oh, it's almost the hour."
