From her attitude towards ladies-in-waiting, we can know whether her husband is worthy of being entrusted for life, which also ensures many unhappy marriages, because we all know that in ancient times, Gege did not have the freedom to choose marriage, so for her lifelong happiness, she needs to know something on the premise of accepting the marriage assigned to her by the emperor, which is also allowed by the emperor.
All the royal families in China attach great importance to their children and regard them as important events for generations to come. Therefore, most royal men marry early, and the age of marriage is generally not more than 18 years old. Generally, they get married at the age of 13 to 17, while the Qing dynasty stipulated that princes must get married at the age of 15. Almost all emperors and princes have been courting women before they formally get married, so they have long been familiar with what marriage needs, or that men and women are different.
There is indeed a trial marriage system in the history of our country, which was also called premarital sex education at that time. That is, the queen or queen mother should first find a clever maid-in-waiting, euphemistically called "trying to marry a princess", to help her precious princess try her promise. The maid-in-waiting was first sent to sleep with Xu for one night, and the next day she reported Xu's level, physical defects, even temper and personality to the queen mother in detail.
According to records, "Interesting Life of the Royal Family in Qing Dynasty" said that before the real marriage of the Prince of Qing Dynasty, the clan politicians chose a maid-in-waiting one year older than the Prince to be their wife and educated the Prince on how to be a husband. Then this is another trial marriage system about the prince. On the basis of this trial marriage, the inheritance of royal children can be well guaranteed.
