The maids who undertake this task must not only be beautiful, polite, and intelligent, but also knowledgeable in many secrets of the bedroom. What will be their fate after completing this task?
In modern society, with open-minded thinking, most people now decide to get married by themselves. But in ancient times, filial piety was put first, where parents put, children had to sit. Especially for the royal family, marriage was more complicated, confusing, with more procedures and purposes. That's why, before the princes and princesses got married, there were always "court maids to try marriage" to serve and educate them.
The identity of the palace maid who tried to get married
According to records, in ancient times, marriage and the birth and raising of children were extremely important matters. However, not all princes, princesses or consorts were born with knowledge and talent in this area. And to overcome unnecessary awkwardness and confusion, in the royal palace, there appeared female servants with a strange task, called "matrimonial testing maids".
Although they were just palace maids, the selection criteria were very high and extremely strict. Not only did they need to be beautiful, graceful, dignified, polite, knowledgeable, and intelligent, these palace maids also had to be knowledgeable in many bedroom secrets, body-keeping secrets, and proficient in the tricks of reading people's minds and pleasing others.
The main duty of these palace maids is to serve the princes and consorts in their marital life. Besides, they also guide, instruct, advise, and teach the princesses all kinds of skills in the bedroom.
What is the fate of the palace maid who tried to kiss?
It is known that after completing their mission, the fate of each court lady who tried to get married was different. If they served the prince and were loved and favored by him, these court ladies would have the opportunity to become concubines.
If she replaces the princess to serve the prince consort before the wedding, the trial maid can become a dowry maid and follow the princess. She can even become the prince consort's concubine, sharing a husband with her master, escaping the fate of a palace maid who is at the mercy of others and is punished.
So what about the palace maids who teach the emperor about se.x?
Accordingly, there are 8 palace maids who will teach the emperor about "bed" theory and impart practical knowledge to the emperor every day. In feudal China, most emperors usually ascended the throne when they were over 10 years old - an ag.e that had not yet reached puberty. However, they had already begun to discuss marriage, taking a wife...
Not everyone can be chosen to teach and become the Emperor's psychological enlightenment master. The Qing Dynasty's palace documents clearly stated that before the Emperor reached marriageable ag.e, the palace would select 8 young palace maids with outstanding appearance and gentle personality.
These "women" would teach the Emperor theories related to physiological needs and impart practical "bedtime" knowledge to the Emperor every day. These eight palace maids were all of high status. After being "chosen", they would receive monthly salaries from the king, escaping the lowly life of forced labor like ordinary palace maids.
Changing life by teaching the Emperor about se.x
More than that, once chosen, these palace maids have the opportunity to escape the sea of ââsuffering and step into heaven. They clearly understand their mission is to help the young Emperors and young Crown Princes gain experience in the bedroom before marriage, helping the emperors have a harmonious and fulfilling se.x life with the Empress and concubines and beauties in the future.
There were even emperors who gave birth to children with their teachers. When he was still Crown Prince, Emperor Sima Zhong of the Western Jin Dynasty had to go through this lesson. At the ag.e of 13, Sima Zhong was arranged to marry. Before the official wedding, Emperor Wu of Jin, Sima Yan, summoned the talented woman Xie Jiu to the Eastern Palace to guide the Crown Prince.
When Xie Jiu left the Eastern Palace, she was already carrying the dragon's bloo.d, and later gave birth to a noble son for the royal family. Many years later, Sima Zhong was very surprised to see a bab.y boy in his parents' bedchamber. At this time, Jin Wu Emperor revealed that this chil.d was the result of the days of sharing the bed between the Crown Prince and the talented Xie Jiu.
Emperor Wencheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Jun, also had se.x with a palace maid when he was only 13 and became a father a year later, although he did not officially marry until he was 17. During the Qing Dynasty, this custom became more widely practiced and became formal.
Selection and ending of the palace maid who guides the king in bed
Before the Emperor reaches the ag.e of marriage, a rigorous selection process is held in the palace to select eight palace maids of mature ag.e and good appearance for the Emperor to "enter the palace". After teaching the Prince or the Little Emperor about the bedroom, the palace maids are mostly assigned to manage other palaces. Many female officials are immediately asked to leave the palace as soon as their term in the palace ends, and marry a commoner to live a simple life, which can be considered a complete life.
In addition, many palace maids later had clear statuses, becoming women with status in the palace, receiving monthly allowances from the court, not having to work hard like other palace maids. In the second half of their lives, it was like being a concubine in a cold palace, but the fate of these female officials would be more tragic, because the emperor would never think of them again.
Many poor families would send their daughters to the palace to try their luck. If they were lucky, the whole family could go along and enjoy the blessings. If they were unlucky, they could only admit that they were unlucky.
Combined with Xuan Cung Do
In addition, the young princes had to learn adult things by looking at drawings called "spring palace drawings". The inventor of this type of painting was Liu Haiyang - son of Liu Qu - the fourth vassal of Guangchuan during the Han Dynasty. Liu Haiyang was famous at that time for being an extremely lustful person.
Since its appearance, "Spring Palace Paintings" have always been collected by the Royal Family of each dynasty to later be used as teaching materials for the Princes. Of course, it is inevitable that this type of painting was used by many Emperors for their lustful pleasures. Notable among these are Xiao Baojuan - King of Southern Qi, Emperor Yang of Sui, Emperor Yang of Sui, Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, and Empress Wu Zetian.
It is known that Ly Tri once built a separate palace for all the concubines he favored, with "spring palace pictures" hangin.g on the walls. After the deat.h of this Emperor, this palace was turned into a place of pleasur.e for Vo Tac Thien with the men she had her eyes on.
Wu Zetian had a tric.k that made the emperor infatuated, what was the result when Cixi followed it? Hướng Dương21:01:36 27/12/2024Wu Zetian and Empress Dowager Cixi are known as the two most powerful queens in Chinese history. They both possessed a strange attraction to the emperors, gaining favor and maintaining their positions.
