When Cixi died at the age of seventy two, why could she still look like a fifty year old woman?

Because Cixi had been wearing makeup at that time, her face looked very young, like a woman of fifty.

Because the Empress Dowager Cixi is good at beauty. The Empress Dowager Cixi eats bird's nest every day and gets a massage every day, so she looks young.

Because she has done a good job of maintenance, as a powerful person who has controlled the Manchu Qing Dynasty for decades, she has the ability to maintain.

As the most powerful woman at that time, Cixi was very perfect in terms of beauty and maintenance. The first thing Cixi did when she got up every day was to put on makeup, which took two hours. At that time, she was almost old, but she looked like she was only in her fifties.

If anything, it's eating human milk and pearl powder, which has been going on for decades. At the same time, it also has to do with the fact that she is good at makeup. Cosmetics are her lifeblood, and she asks people to take them with her anytime and anywhere, and even when she goes out on patrol, she applies grease and powder in the sedan chair.

And she also has a short and round jade ruler on her body at any time, and when she finds wrinkles on her face, she rolls around her face, saying that she can grind off wrinkles. Cixi had tens of thousands of clothes, embroidered with gorgeous flowers and inlaid with brilliant gemstones, dazzling and priceless. She had to change four or five sets of clothes a day.

A new dress was only worn five or six times at most, and even most of it was sent to the cold palace forever, needless to say that she had never worn it, or even looked at it. When she changed her clothes, the eunuch carried the clothes in a wooden basin, marched in line, and knelt down to ask the Queen Mother to choose. Sometimes she looked at hundreds of attacks before she found one or two sets that were more satisfactory.

She has countless embroidered shoes and has a shoe vault for storage. This is something that only someone as powerful as her can spend.

Routine is also one of the secrets of her ageless appearance. Cixi would get up every day when the sun first rose, and of course this was all due to the "little alarm clocks". The three meals a day are very regular, and of course each meal is very luxurious.

The main meal must be served with 100 bowls of different dishes, including delicacies from the mountains and the sea. There is also a large bowl in the middle, with a diameter of more than two feet, which contains whole chicken, whole duck and shark fin ham soup. The so-called 100 kinds of dishes are just put on a show, but in fact they only eat four or five dishes.

During the meal, Cixi ate alone, and the queen and the palace dependents stood beside her without saying a word. When she had finished eating, she allowed them to eat the rest of the food, and they had to stand and not sit down. In order to cook for the queen mother, there is a huge imperial dining room, there are more than 100 cooks alone, and there are also 1,200 eunuchs who carry water, light fire, wash vegetables, and wash dishes.

The daily cost is 12,000 taels of silver.

Of course, there are many maintenance tips, such as the room is full of apples and can't smell them, her loyal peonies have always been kept fresh, and daily naps are indispensable, all of which support her ageless appearance.

Because she is well-maintained, she is already a beauty-loving person, and she has enough maintenance items to support, of course, she is young.

Because Cixi is very good at maintenance. Cixi herself is very fond of beauty, and in order to maintain her appearance, she takes tonic and massage every day, so her face is relatively young.

Because Cixi is special at maintenance, she is usually pampered, she doesn't have to do any work, of course, she doesn't look old, and it's normal to be 50 years old.

Nowadays, this person's living situation is still very good, after all, under the good policies of our country, he can get good material provisions.

This person is now very sweet and happy, and he is relatively low-key for Lichun people, and his attainments in art are also very high, and he has been concentrating on studying calligraphy.

Now I am enjoying my old age in peace, and I am living a very comfortable old age.
