Why did all the gates and doors in the Forbidden city have curbs?

Thai houses have the same raised floor at each doorway. From what I recall, as evil spirits are believed to travel on one path, not deviating in height or trajectory, so the raised floor keeps the evil spirits from entering a room.

in that era, flooding is a big issue. so having the curbs help to keep the water out from the house

I don't understand how the concubine be higher in standing than the 2nd wife? Secondly, why was Empress' maid Sulian sooooo determined to sow seeds of discord between Ruyi & Fuca Empress? Was she just feeding Empress' insecurities?

When they were first married Ruyi was ranked higher but Hui’s father has a position and was helpful to the gov’t so the emperor raised the family’s rank. Ruyi and Hui should have the same rank but the evil empress convinced the emperor to wait till Ruyi has a child to promote her

The maids are always the ones planting discord between the wives. I think they did this to make their statuses higher by making their mistresses' statuses higher

Why is that concubine treating the little boy like a dog?
