To become a son-in-law, talented young men have to throw away their self-respect, step on their own self-respect, and live a very miserable life looking at others. In particular, concubines must be tested for their ability in bed before getting married.

The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history, and also appeared a lot in historical films.

After watching the movie, many young people dream of "traveling" back to ancient times and playing the role of princes, princesses, concubines, concubines, etc. to enjoy glory and wealth.

However, according to history books, to officially become a son-in-law is not easy.

According to historical records, during the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus dominated the Central Plains, the Later Kim people extremely valued their noble bloodline and lineage, so they always paid attention to the health of their children and grandchildren.

Having said that, wanting to become a royal bride and groom is extremely difficult. For example, wanting to become a royal concubine will have to go through extremely rigorous and miserable selection rounds.

Appreciate health criteria when recruiting concubines

Specifically, when the Qing dynasty chose a concubine, appearance was only one of the criteria, other criteria had to satisfy the requirements of physical health and bed health.

Physical health is easy to check, but marital relationships are difficult to detect if you are too hasty. So how to check if the concubine is "good" or not?

At this time, the palace maid is promoted. This palace maid will take on the task of testing the concubine, checking whether the concubine is healthy enough to marry the princess or not.

So how to check? According to records, to test the ability of the husband-to-be, the methods will let the lady who is close to her spend time with the concubine candidate for more than 10 days or a maximum of one month.

After that, this maid will have to report on the ability and health of the concubine candidate, to see if this person meets the standards to be the concubine's husband or not.

If the palace maid reports good results, the marriage will go one step further. On the contrary, if the palace lady reports a negative experience, the marriage will be postponed to analyze and quantify the situation.

After 2 - 3 months, if the lady in the palace tries to get pregnant and becomes pregnant, the concubine candidate is considered to have no problem, the marriage will continue, otherwise the marriage will be canceled.

To better ensure the accuracy and reliability of information, court officials often assign two to three palace maids to be in charge of testing the marriage. According to the Qing royal family, this way they will ensure that the spouse is truly healthy.

Of course, during this entire process of trying to kiss, the palace maid on duty will be the one who gets hurt the most. They are like white mice. The scariest part is that, even when pregnant, palace maids who try kissing will never be able to give birth.

As soon as it is determined that they are pregnant, they will have to take medicine that causes women to lose their babies and give birth prematurely, which is really cruel.

However, the conditions for selecting "court ladies for trial marriage" are also extremely strict. Not only do they need to be beautiful, graceful, dignified, polite, knowledgeable, and intellectual, these palace maids also have to understand many secrets of the bedroom, secrets to keeping in shape, and be adept at visual tricks. face guessing, pleasing others.

When close to the Emperor and Crown Prince, they are not allowed to sneeze, cough, spit or make any rude sounds that would disturb the dragon's body.

In addition to the main task of serving the princes and concubines in conjugal activities, these palace maids also have to guide, instruct, advise, and teach the Princess all techniques in the bedroom.

After completing the mission, each person's fate is different. If they serve the Prince and are loved and favored by the Prince, the court ladies who try to marry have the opportunity to become concubines and concubines.

If she replaces the Princess and serves her concubine before the wedding, the palace maid who tries to marry her can become a dowry maid, follow the princess, become the concubine's concubine, and marry the Princess, escaping the fate of being a concubine. Women let others dictate and punish them.

The next person to be hurt is the son-in-law. Even though he is a royal son-in-law, it is no different from being arranged for breeding. If the couple is not satisfied and cannot continue the marriage, the husband-in-law will be estranged and considered non-existent.

It can be seen that being a concubine of the Qing Dynasty means having to put aside one's self-esteem and step on one's own self-respect. In addition, the official position of a concubine during the Qing Dynasty was extremely low. Unless they had special merits, it would be difficult for them to be promoted or promoted.

In this matter, the people who benefited the most were the Qing Dynasty's methods. All kissing attempts are for the sake of the way. Only when everything is determined to be good and smooth can we get married, this is considered a complete step to make the descendants of the royal family healthy and excellent.

Worth mentioning, after getting married, the son-in-law still suffered a lot of resentment. He will not be able to see his wife without asking permission from the way's nurse. Not even having the right to freely meet your husband, let alone having sex, is truly miserable.
