Hello my name is Richard and today I will talk about the day
to day life of the Emperor. Actually when I saw the activities that the
Emperors did, there were mostly the same. They usually enjoyed many ceremonies
and rested at a place called ‘zhong he dian’. There were also sacrificial
ceremonies held too. Behind that, there is a place called ‘bao he dian’ where
the Emperors changed their clothes for parties, hunting, or ceremonies.
Specially, there was an emperor called Zhu Zai Hou who enjoyed a lewdness life and to party. Also he had many wives which he slept with different level of wives. Starting from the lowest level, higher level, and a higher level, the king slept with higher level wives, and at last when the full moon is up, the king slept with the queen. Also there is another king called Hong Wu who was a hard worker creating laws to improve the peasants life. But usually most of the Emperors enjoyed hunting and watching plays.
