Shameful days cover up sleeves, worry about spring and lazy makeup. Easy to ask for priceless treasures, rare lovers.
For a person, marriage is considered a top priority. In modern society, many young people are more open-minded. They have already started living together before marriage. Whether the three views are appropriate.
However, in ancient times, people’s ideas and concepts were different from those of modern society. Cohabitation before marriage was absolutely impossible. Therefore, there was a certain difference between trial marriages at that time and now, especially the princesses in the palace.
At that time, in order to ensure the happy marriage of the emperor's daughter, there was a special pattern in the palace called "trial marriage pattern". Although they bear the name of Grid, they are actually some special palace ladies selected for the royal family's wedding.
Although "Trial Marriage Grid" has a period of glory during the trial marriage, most of them have miserable fate after the trial marriage.
How "Trial Marriage" came into being
During the feudal society, the marriage of the emperor's daughter was a very important matter. In addition to political marriage, the emperor would usually find a good husband's family for his daughter very carefully.
For example, from the perspective of family background, academic quality, and life, you can become the princess's husband only after passing the inspection.
However, there are sometimes flaws in this approach. During the Ming Dynasty , there was a princess who accidentally married a tuberculosis husband. The princess's name was Yongning Palace Lord.
In other words, although the emperor will choose the husband for his daughters himself, he will not inspect it himself because of the busy state. In this way, this heavy burden fell on the eunuch.
However, this eunuch dared to do things like this.He took the money from the consort and explained the situation of the tuberculosis to the emperor very well.
Under such circumstances, Palace Master Yongning married him, and the result can be imagined. After marrying, Yongning princess learned that her husband was a tuberculosis ghost who couldn't get up in bed, and the husband died of a serious illness in less than a month after his marriage.
A month ago, Yongning was still a noble princess. A month later, she became a widow, which is really pitiful.
In addition to the pitiful princess, this incident also lost the face of the Ming imperial family, and for a long time thereafter, people made fun of this incident behind their backs.
Because she could not suffer from gossip, Princess Yongning died in depression at the age of 27, and her life was very bleak and sad.
After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, perhaps it was a lesson learned from this incident. In order to avoid this kind of thing from happening again, the "trial marriage pattern" came into being.
What is Trial Marriage Gege
At that time, before the princess got married, the royal family would conduct a detailed investigation on the consort to ensure that Gege would have a happy life after marrying.
However, the external conditions and family background of the consort are easy to find out, but the physical defects of the consort are difficult to find out. Some things are difficult even for the consort himself.
Therefore, the task of "Trial Marriage" is to live with the cohort for a period of time, and use this time to test the health of the cohort.
Physical condition is not good, then this marriage is over. If the body is in good condition, the princess will marry in order to ensure a happy life for the princess after marriage.
Generally speaking, "Trial Marriage" will be selected by the queen or queen mother in the palace with good looks and well-proportioned women, and "Trial Marriage" must be a virgin.
At the same time, the selected palace ladies must also be clever, know how to observe their words, and be able to find some clues.
When everything is ready, the "Trial Marriage" will be sent to the husband's house along with the dowry, and then live together according to husband and wife etiquette.
During this period, the trial marriage is not only to enjoy life, she also has detailed tasks, and needs to record some basic conditions in the house of the horse and the physical condition of the horse herself.
In addition, when necessary, they also need to write a detailed report to report on the physical function of the horse and whether there are obvious defects and so on.
Based on these detailed data references, the royal family will make the final decision to determine whether the marriage of the princess and the husband is feasible.
Therefore, during this period, the court lady of the trial marriage will usher in her own bright moment. Because in order to succeed in the trial marriage, no one in the Ma family dared to neglect this "trial marriage pattern", and everyone must be careful with her.
Even more, in order to record their own situation better, some people will bribe "trial marriages" to increase their success rate.
Although it is said that "Trial Marriage" does not dare to write silly, but it is still possible to polish the actual situation on the basis of the original to increase the royal family's favor with the husband. This is still possible.
It’s just that after the trial marriage is over, they are no longer greeted by a good life, but a bleak future. Why do you say that?
A miserable one for the rest of his life
In ancient feudal rituals, many people believed that women should remain chaste. Once they lose their virginity, it is difficult to have a place in society.
After the trial marriage is successful, Grid will marry, even though Grid has already married,At this time, the mission of "Trial Marriage" will come to an end.
At this time, if Gege is very kind, Gege will recite the merits of the trial marriage, and will leave the "trial marriage Gege" by his side as a maid or maid to continue serving himself, or he may be his husband. Concubine, this is the best ending of "Trial Marriage".
But if you encounter a bad temper and cruel Grid, then the "trial marriage Grid" will not end so well. Grid will abuse these palace ladies lightly, and drive them out of the house.
And these court ladies who have been driven out have lost their chastity and can only fall into the dusty land and lead a miserable life that is not as good as a domestic prostitute.
In addition, if the princesses and her husband have frictions after marriage because of the "trial marriage problem", then the court lady will be executed, and if some court ladies become pregnant during the trial marriage, these children will also be secretly executed. The eldest son of the Royal Horse Mansion must never come from a court lady.
What's more serious is that if the trial marriage fails, the fate of these palace ladies will be even worse. After the trial marriage, the palace lady is no longer a virgin, and naturally cannot return to the palace again.
At the same time, the family will attribute the responsibility of the unsuccessful prince to the "trial marriage pattern". The court lady who thinks that the trial marriage did not speak for herself, has a mentality of revenge, and the poor court lady will be sold to a brothel or be Mutilated to death.
In ancient times, the status of domestic prostitutes was very low, but at certain times, there were still opportunities to turn over. However, the trial marriage Gege did not, because her opponent was the princess, this objective factor also destined her to be even worse.
There is a saying called "existence is reasonable". Although "trial marriage" is a product of feudal environment, culture, and ideology, it is deformed from a certain point of view.
Many women have not only become a tool for princesses to explore the way, but after losing their value, they can only scribble through their lives.
is now in a socialist society,Everyone is equal, everyone has the right to pursue happiness and the right to choose their own happy life. "Trial marriage" is obviously contrary to the current concept.
