In the harem of the Qing Dynasty, the number of court ladies also accounted for a large part. But the maids are not only limited to doing some rough work, serving the master, the maids also have the right to be summoned by the emperor. Once they are favored and favored by the emperor, they can also be named concubines.
At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the selection of show girls and court ladies was mixed. Although they were mixed, the selection criteria for the two were different. The selection of show girls in the Qing Dynasty was once every three years and was selected. Before the show girl, the household must first play it to the emperor. After the emperor's approval, the eight banners' grassroots officials at all levels will submit the roster of women aged 13 to 17 in each banner. After
is submitted in the roster, it will be summarized by the Eight Banners General Yamen. After the Eight Banners have been summarized, it will be reported to the Ministry of Households, and finally the Ministry of Households will report to the emperor. The emperor decides the selection date and the selected women, They cannot be married. Once they are found to be married in private, they will be exiled or decapitated.
The beautiful women in the various flags need to be sent to the capital in advance. After the palace gate is opened, they will get off in the order of the carriage and horses. The eunuch in the palace will lead them to the palace where the beautiful women are selected. In the selection process, generally five court ladies stand in a row and are selected by the emperor and queen mother.
Don’t be too happy if you leave the brand, because after you leave the brand, there will be regular re-elections. If you haven’t passed the re-election, you will also have to be selected. And there are usually two girls who pass the re-election. Kind of fate.
The first type of destiny is still very good, that is, it is bestowed by the emperor to the royal family and the royal family. Although it is not a regular wife, it can at least guarantee the prosperity and food and clothing, while the second is to stay in the palace. Serving at the emperor's side and becoming a candidate for concubine in the palace is better than being in the clan and prince's house, but the risk is also great. Once the emperor is angered, he will be murdered.
The selection of palace ladies is presided over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The selection criteria are roughly the same as the age of Xiu Nu. However, there are special circumstances. Although they are palace ladies, they are not low-born, because they are all from Selected from the various Eight Banners coats, the coats are the royal family slaves. Although they are slaves, slaves and slaves are not the same.
The system of the Qing Dynasty is different from the systems of other dynasties. Not only the treatment and status of the court ladies are relatively high. Her love made her mother stay here from a small child and was soon named Concubine Dun by Jin. Concubine
Dunn was a maid at the very beginning. Later, because of the favor of Emperor Qianlong and the birth of ten princesses, she was first named as permanent, then as concubine, and later. For the concubine. Z1z
Concubine Dunn, who relied on her daughter, has gradually become arrogant and domineering nowadays. Without the prudence and caution when entering the palace at the beginning, as long as her mood is not good, Concubine Dun will vent her anger at the maid beside her. Sometimes I can't be addicted to scolding, and I get to fight.
Later, Concubine Dun was very angry because of a certain incident, and began to vent her anger with the court lady beside her, but this time, Concubine Dun failed to control her strength, and eventually killed a court lady by mistake. After this matter was known by Emperor Qianlong, Qianlong The emperor was furious, and immediately reduced Concubine Dun to Duan.
The reason why Emperor Qianlong was so angry was because the ladies were selected from the Eight Banners, not from a humble background. If the ladies were favored by the emperor in the palace, they would get a certain promotion and become a concubine in the harem. If one of them cannot be favored by the emperor, they will be sent home when they reach a certain age.
and Concubine Dun was also a court lady at first, but she was lucky, and she quickly flew to the branch, became a phoenix, and then even killed the court lady. This behavior itself was very bad.
mentioned earlier that they have reached a certain age, and they have not been favored by the emperor before. Generally, they will be released from the palace when they are twenty-five years old. Twenty-five years old is not very old in modern times, but in ancient times At that time, twenty-five was a very old age, and some of them had outstanding looks and luck. They might be able to marry someone soon after leaving the palace.Relatively good people live a happy life.
However, this is only the ending of a small number of palace ladies after they leave the palace. A large part of them, because of their age and the pressure of family and public opinion, had to find someone to marry afterwards. We have no way of knowing the life in it. , They knew nothing about it.
