Why did Cixi still live in Chuxiu Palace for a long time after she became the Queen Mother?

Good Feng Shui! People like Cixi must be very superstitious and must be very particular about where they live. She must have asked a Feng Shui master to check it out for her on the day she became the Queen Mother, saying that her Chuxiu Palace would allow her to live in a better place, so she would definitely not be happy to leave.

Although there is no historical record of this, she must be unwilling to move out because of factors that are beneficial to her. If you look through Cixi's life casually, you will see that Cixi was a person with very low self-esteem. She really can't wait to do something that gives her a chance to show off her status through appearance.

Moving away from Chuxiu Palace and going to the palace where the Queen Mother should live, but Cixi was willing to give up this opportunity, it can only be said that she must have other thoughts, so she did not leave Chuxiu Palace. It is not an exaggeration to say that Chuxiu Palace was her blessed place. At least she was favored here and gave birth to Emperor Tongzhi here.

As her abilities grew stronger, her ambition also emerged. She also connected the Tihe Palace to the Chuxiu Palace. The entire scale and decoration are really not inferior to the Cining Palace and Yongshou Palace of the former Empress Dowager.
