In order for the crown prince to drink "assured milk", the crown prince's grandmother must follow these rules and be inhuman
After the emperor's children are born, they are generally not raised by their own biological mothers, one is afraid that the biological mother has no experience and cannot raise the prince, and the other is also afraid of the mother of the prince, that is, those concubines and empresses, after all, it is also a very hard thing to take the child and raise the child. Therefore, in this case, basically the princes will find a nursing mother, so that the nursing mother is fully responsible for raising these princes, and the nursing mother's milk will be more.
But this also has a problem, that is, the safety of the nurse. Therefore, in order to ensure the healthy growth of the prince, the nurse will be strictly selected. The first is the age of the nurse, in ancient times, the age of the nurse was generally limited to fifteen to twenty years old, because according to the saying at that time, a woman from fifteen to twenty years old was the most suitable for having children. Therefore, the age of the crown prince's nurse at that time was limited to this range.
Of course, being the prince's wet nurse is not such an easy task. Before they could be nurses, they had to have had to give birth to their own children, otherwise they wouldn't have any milk. According to the saying at that time, the milk of a woman within three months of giving birth to a child is the best, which means that the nurse will enter the palace to take care of the prince within three months of giving birth to her child. In this way, they will not have the opportunity to see their children again, because once they enter the palace, it is basically a lifetime, so this is also a very uncomfortable point for the nurse.
Before becoming a wet nurse, these women also had to go through a rigorous physical examination. Because to feed the prince, the nursing mother's body must be completely healthy, otherwise the various diseases they carry on their bodies will easily be transmitted to the prince. Therefore, in order to ensure the health of the prince, the people in the palace will conduct strict physical examinations of the nurses to ensure that their bodies are completely healthy.
Therefore, in order to let the princes in the palace drink a mouthful of "assured milk", the people in the palace also took a lot of thought. And the nurses who came specifically to feed the princes also paid a huge price. They have to follow all kinds of rules, and some of them even have the slightest humanity. For example, when their own children were born, they had to go to the palace to feed the prince. And their biological children are also likely to get sick or even starve to death because they don't have enough milk to eat, so this is also particularly unfortunate for a mother.
