Which palace did the Empress of Qing Dynasty usually live in?

Empresses in the Qing dynasty did not have a particularly fixed residence.

Empresses in the Qing Dynasty mostly had their own residences in the East, West and Sixth Houses, and usually lived in Palace of Gathered Elegance. But Emperor Qianlong and Empress Hyo Hyun-chun are an exception. She lived in Changchun Palace before her death.

Extended data:

Palace of Gathered Elegance is the most important palace in Cixi's life. It is worth noting that Cixi moved to Palace of Gathered Elegance on her 50th birthday. According to the speculation about the maid-in-waiting of Empress Dowager Cixi in A Talk about Maids, firstly, Cixi made her fortune here, and her only political capital, the Emperor Tongzhi, was born in the Houdian, which was the real political capital for her to seize power.

Second, Cixi entered the palace at the age of seventeen, and her youth was buried here, with memories everywhere. Third, I am attached to Emperor Xianfeng, and I will never forget the rain and dew kindness of my ancestors.
