Who was the only person who wore Qianlong's dragon robe without being punished?

The dragon robe is the exclusive clothing of the emperor, representing the status and supreme power of the head of state. Besides the emperor, anyone who dares to wear the dragon robe will be executed.

However, in the history of feudal China, there was an exception that allowed one to wear the dragon robe of Emperor Qianlong without being executed.

That person was the close guard of Emperor Qianlong, whose duty was to try on clothes for the emperor.

This comes from the fact that King Qianlong was the head of the country, busy with a thousand things, so he often did not have time to try on clothes.

Even the most skilled royal tailors could not tailor the perfect robe based on the emperor’s body measurements alone. Once the robe was made, the tailor would need the emperor to try it on so that adjustments could be made if it was too tight or too loose.

However, because Emperor Qianlong did not always have time to try on the robe, a guard was chosen to try on the robe to help the emperor get the best fitting outfit.

To fulfill his duties, Emperor Qianlong's personal bodyguard had to maintain a strict diet to maintain a body similar to that of an emperor.

If Emperor Qian lost or gained weight, the guard must have had a similar physique.

At first glance, the job of the guards chosen to test the Qianlong Emperor's royal robes sounds easy, but in reality it is extremely hard. They must be careful with every word and action, and take care of their health to be able to complete the mission. The photos in the article are for illustration purposes only.
