For palace ladies of old, marrying a beggar would make them feel more comfortable and happy than being an emperor's concubine. For palace girls, because their status is not high, even if they are favored by their majesty, it is difficult to become a phoenix.

In ancient feudal times, the palace was a place that ordinary people often aspired to, because if they could work for the emperor, at least they didn't need to worry about food and clothing. Even if they have talent, they have the opportunity to be used by powerful figures, so that they can become a powerful person.

In addition to emperors, concubines and members of the imperial family, palace ladies were also an indispensable class in the palace in ancient times, even the number of palace women was many times that of eunuchs.

Every year a number of palace girls are retired, and there will also be many young new palace girls selected. Each dynasty had requirements for the age of palace girls, and during the Qing Dynasty palace girls could only return to the folk at the age of 25. At this time, life for them is called true freedom.

In addition, there were also many beautiful palace maidens who, during their service, caught the eye of the emperor, and then entered the harem as a concubine.

Outsiders looking in will probably see that these palace maidens are lucky, like ducks turning swans. However, in reality, many palace maidens are just forced in helplessness, they would rather leave the palace as beggars than be concubines in the harem with months and days when they cannot see the sun.

Once the palace maidens caught the emperor's eye, they would naturally have to go to bed and become the master's mistresses.

For palace girls, because their status is not high, even if they are favored by their majesty, it is difficult to become a phoenix. The harem is a place full of devilish intrigue, the maiden is also the one who best understands the darkness of the harem, just a little neglect can lose her life. They would rather be one-hearted servants to their concubines than concubines in the inner court.

In the event that a pregnant palace maiden gives birth to a prince, I can become a royal concubine by your blessing, but this is also a thorn in the side and becomes the target of other concubines. Coming from non-prestigious backgrounds, without physical support, these same women are like young sheep lost among a pack of ferocious wolves.

More fortunate palace ladies, favored by the emperor, would have time to enjoy some glory and power. Then when the emperor died, it was also time for their lives to end. One is because powerless concubines will be chosen to "follow" the emperor. Otherwise, they would also be the target of revenge by concubines on the same side as the new empress dowager.

The feudal woman suffered many disadvantages and had no freedom, even the noble concubine in the palace, was the political "sacrifice" of the clans. The emperor's harem was never a calm wave. Even when I slept, I was afraid of being assassinated to die.

Besides, palace girls are usually recruited at the age of 14 or 15, and dynasties naturally have "retirement" regimes for them. Typically, palace ladies apply for exodus when they reach the age of 25. Although this age was quite late to marry at that age, they were not very old and were still in their prime. So why can't most palace girls marry after leaving the palace?

First, it is that after working in the palace for a while, they will suffer from a disease that is "picky". Although the palace ladies were people of low status, after all, they were people who worked in the noble palace, not all ordinary people could enter.

Therefore, an intelligent palace lady will not choose to be the emperor's baby wife, but will resign herself to work until the age of 25, then take a generous pension and safely leave the imperial palace. That is their true horizon of freedom.
