Why didn't the ancient concubine raise the prince herself, but asked the palace maid to do it for her?
Women are weak, but mothers are strong"It is said that the greatness of maternal love, whether rich or poor, I believe that most mothers in this world love their children, and watching their children be fed little by little is undoubtedly a very happy thing for many mothers.
But it is a tragedy for many people in the palace: although the life in the palace is rich and beautiful, there is no warmth between the people here, only the warmth in the Forbidden City, and those concubines who gave birth to children for the emperor did not have the opportunity to experience the joy of being a mother
In the court system of the Qing Dynasty, just as a low-status concubine could not raise her own children, after Yongzheng was born, the low-status Concubine De could only be raised by other concubines, so the relationship and karma between Yongzheng and Concubine De were not friendly.
In addition, there is a very strange reason, that is, in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, concubines were not allowed to breastfeed the emperor's son, and even the issue of breastfeeding the emperor's son was not allowed.
Therefore, we can't help but ask ourselves, why did the concubines of the harem give birth to the emperor's son, and even have no right to raise the emperor's son?
Compete for favor at all costs.
Although it is a happy thing to take care of a child, it is not an easy thing for a mother, because in ancient times, the physical condition was actually not very good, so it was not an easy thing to take care of a child and give birth to a child.
In ancient times, the possibility of newborns dying in childbirth was still very high, and many concubines died in childbirth.
Therefore, after giving birth, the concubines of the previous dynasty had to recuperate for a period of time to recover their strength, and raising a child was a very time-consuming physical preparation.
Since the concubine needs to supplement the body's nutrition, and the newborn is already in need of nutrition at birth, feeding the baby is equivalent to absorbing all the nutrients of the concubine, which has a profound impact on the recovery of the concubine's physical strength.
Therefore, in the old days, many large families had special nursing staff to do this work, and wives could take this opportunity to nourish their bodies.
In addition, many wives feared that feeding their children would damage their physique and thus lose the emperor's favor.
Feeding the child is inappropriate and **.
For ordinary people, childbirth is a woman's greatest happiness, and watching her child grow up little by little is undoubtedly the happiest thing for a mother.
However, in the harem, this kind"Down-to-earth"It is absolutely not allowed, most wives are usually arrogant and strong to the point of even having to serve food and clothing, do you think these wives know how to take care of their children?I think the answer is no. It's hard to imagine that even a group of people who come to reach out for food and open their mouths would try to raise a child on their own.
Crying women are usually there"Aristocrats"It is hard to imagine that they would leave their aristocratic status to raise a child, so at that time they gave this difficult and cheap job to a nanny.
Without the love of the king, it is impossible to establish a deep bond even between mother and child.
One of the reasons why a spouse could not raise the emperor's son was that, in the old idea, the spouse itself belonged to the emperor"Personal property", so that his own children could not have anything to do with his spouse, and many of the spouses of the previous dynasty also lost almost all their motherhood"Power"！"...
At the same time, the imperial family itself was unkind, so the spouse was not allowed to raise the emperor's son personally, and in ancient China, this harem was the back of the emperor's closest relatives, which completely changed the spouse"Mothers are more expensive than children"The fate.
Mothers are more expensive than children"It is only the first step, and the rest is to rely on their children to get to the center of power step by step, and this will undoubtedly surprise the world, and the game between the royal family and the court will continue.
Although the emperor had many sons, they were all his own children, and to put it bluntly, he did not want his children to kill each other, so the most effective way to avoid such a tragedy was to alienate the feelings between the children and their mothers.
Therefore, if we assume that the concubines did not personally feed the emperor's son, then there is no doubt that they will have less thoughts of being close to their own children, so that the relationship between mother and son will not be so deep, and the emperor will not be affected by external objects.
Ethically, this is simply stifling the affection between people, but in that gloomy palace, the emperor needs a son of an emperor who can carry the kingdom of heaven and earth.
It is precisely because of these reasons that in the ancient harem, of course, they had their own children, but the wives could not feed them themselves, they could only feed strangers they didn't know, although the harem had no worries about food and clothing, but this also killed the wife as a mother"Power", so the harem trickery is true, which is also the darkness of the ancient palace.
