Among the different levels of concubines, all the treatment is different. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, the ranks of harem concubines were: promised, always present, noble, concubine, concubine, imperial concubine, and queen.

It was promised that there could only be 2 palace maids waiting. In the Qing Dynasty, there was an "official document" on the basic number of emperor's wives, which vaguely stipulated: one queen, one imperial concubine, two concubines, four concubines, and six concubines. However, the emperor still had a lot of leeway. Because there is no specific quota for nobles below the concubine, always present, promised, etc.; Therefore, the emperor can still expand the army infinitely as he pleases.

The beauties of the harem of the Qing Dynasty, according to their names and ranks, enjoy different treatments, such as monthly silver, clothing, food standards, the amount of service personnel, the area of housing and its decoration level, and the scale of the guard of honor, etc., all have their own corresponding specifications. The annual allowance of the Queen Mother is twenty taels of gold and two hundred taels of silver. The imperial concubine is eight hundred taels of silver per year, with eight palace maids; six hundred taels of concubines, eight palace maids; three hundred taels of concubines and six palace maids; two hundred taels of concubines, six palace maids; one hundred taels of nobles, four palace maids; often in fifty taels, three palace maids; Promised thirty taels, two palace maids. The queen had twelve court maids, and her annual allowance was one thousand taels of silver.
