Strange rule: the Qing emperor must have eight maids before getting married.
When it comes to the wedding of the Qing emperor, we can't help but talk about Emperor Kangxi. Emperor Kangxi received the most concubines after the Qing Dynasty. In his life, he conferred four empresses, among which 35 concubines were above ordinary nobles. And when he got married, he was also the youngest emperor in the Qing Dynasty. In the fourth year of Kangxi, namely 16651October 22nd, Emperor Kangxi married his first wife, Hersairihara, who was 1 1 years old, while Hersairihara was only 12 years old. Herserihara was the granddaughter of Sony, the chief minister in charge of life, and was later posthumously named as the Empress of Filial Piety. Although this marriage is overshadowed by political marriage. However, the two of them are playmates since childhood, which can be described as childhood friends and congenial. The young Emperor Kangxi and Hersai Rihara of The Seeds of Love, a young couple, are a happy couple with sweet love after marriage, very harmonious life and deep affection for each other.

According to relevant historical records, the marriage age of emperors in ancient China is generally not more than 18, and most of them are between 13 and 17. Emperor Kangxi's wedding was undoubtedly much earlier. This may be the result of political marriage. Throughout the history of emperors for more than 2,000 years, almost all princes, especially little emperors, must receive sex education from lucky women before getting married. Therefore, by the time they get married, most of them have mastered skilled sexual experience, and some even have children. Four years after Kangxi's wedding, Hersaizhhara gave birth to a clever, lively and lovely little prince Hu Cheng. At this time, Emperor Kangxi was only 15 years old, and Queen Hesailihara was only 16 years old. Of course, there are many emperors who gave birth to children earlier than Emperor Kangxi. He is Sima Zhong, the emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty. /kloc-when he was a prince at the age of 0/3, he not only got married formally, but also gave birth to a child.

As early as before Sima Zhong's wedding, his father, Sima Yan, the Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, sent Xie Jiu, a harem talent, to the East Palace to teach the prince personally and let him know about sex. Xie Jiu was pregnant when she left the Prince's East Palace. Xie Jiu later gave birth to a son in another palace. A few years later, Prince Sima Zhong saw a child in his parents' palace. Emperor Wu of Jin told him that this was his son. He was surprised: how could he have a son? Another example is Tuobajun of Wen Chengdi in the Northern Wei Dynasty./kloc got married at the age of 0/7, but/kloc mastered the skills of being a maid of honor at the age of 0/3, and became a father the next year.

It is expressly stipulated in the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty that before the little emperor holds a wedding, he must first select eight elderly ladies-in-waiting with good looks from the palace for the little emperor to personally practice the skills of making money. These eight ladies-in-waiting are well-known, and since then they have become women with status in the palace. They get paid every month and are no longer engaged in labor like other ordinary ladies-in-waiting. Therefore, this job has always been expected by ladies-in-waiting, hoping to get rid of the pain and get ahead in one step. The birthrights of these eight ladies-in-waiting are generally titled as four female officials in the palace, namely, master of ceremonies, door secretary, bedroom secretary and account secretary. The purpose of this regulation is undoubtedly to let the little emperor gain some experience of sexual intercourse between men and women before marriage, so that he can have children at an early date and continue the dynasty incense in his life with the queen and concubines.

As little emperors and little princes, some should learn from maids and some should get enlightenment education from wet nurses. The wet nurse directly enlightened the prince himself and became an alternative way of education in the palace. Some dynasties did not stipulate or stipulate which ladies-in-waiting could personally educate the prince. The vassals have reached the stage where they can practice, and they are still in a state of enlightenment and no taboos. In this state, it is easy to be teased or impulsive, and it is easiest to have "sexual interest" in women around you. Especially the prince who lives in the East Palace is not allowed to enter and leave the harem at will without imperial edict, in case he has unbearable feelings with the concubines in the harem. At this time, in addition to the maid, the most accessible to the prince is the wet nurse. Therefore, the wet nurse has become the most likely target of the prince's internship. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, wet nurse Wan was the best candidate for Ming Xianzong's internship.
