As we all know, after the birth of the baby, the most important food is the mother's milk, in addition to drinking milk powder, especially for some of the mother's milk is not very rich in children, milk powder has become their main food, but in ancient times, there is no milk powder, children can only eat the mother's milk, but in some poorer families, because the woman's postpartum body is relatively thin, there is no rich milk, resulting in many children being starved to death, even if it is to survive, it is also very thin. And those children born into rich families, because the family conditions are better, even if the mother has no milk, because there are several nurses in the family, there is no shortage of food, so it can survive very well. The milk lady group is also a relatively special group in ancient times, the rich families in ancient times all raised milk mothers, even if they were ancient emperors, they basically grew up drinking milk from milk mothers.
The most powerful person in ancient times was the emperor, and the treatment he enjoyed was also very high, and he enjoyed top-level services in terms of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and also enjoyed the three palaces and six courtyards in terms of marrying wives. The emperor's words no one dares to resist, the emperor let you do what you have to do, otherwise, not only your life may be lost, even your family will be involved, so in the face of the emperor's orders, even if it is difficult, the people below will obediently carry out, even if the emperor let you die, you must obediently obey, this is the so-called "king let the subject die, the subject has to die", see the supremacy of ancient imperial power, the performance is vivid. Although the emperor enjoys the top treatment, the responsibility of the emperor is also very important, bearing the rise and fall of the whole country, bearing the survival and life of the people, and there is also a lot of pressure when managing the country.
But even if the emperor is strong, it is impossible for one person to govern a country, so he also manages a group of ministers, let these ministers help him manage the country, these ministers are the most elite talents at that time, and they can become the emperor's courtiers, which can be seen to be very powerful. The emperor is the supreme existence, the people who can work under the emperor are naturally the elite of the elite, even if they are slaves who serve the emperor, they are also very excellent existences, and the selection of people who serve the emperor is also very harsh, whether it is a palace girl or a eunuch, they have to go through a series of strict selections to go to the emperor's side to serve the emperor, especially the emperor's grandmother, the requirements for him are even more stringent, although it is relatively easy to become the emperor's grandmother, but on the surface it is bright and beautiful, Behind the scenes is also to endure some heartache, in order to let the emperor drink assured milk, the ancient milkmaid to abide by a rule, is simply inhuman.
In ancient times, the rich and noble families were all raised more or less milk mothers, especially some princes and nobles, the number of milk ladies raised was relatively large, in order to ensure that the young master in the family could have enough milk to drink, and the milk ladies raised in the royal family were even more, after all, the emperor had three palaces and six courtyards, the number of children was also very large, and the amount of milk needed was even more. After the concubines gave birth to the princesses, they were not allowed to raise them personally, and most of these princesses and princesses grew up under the care of the princesses, and it was not so easy to become the grandmothers of the princesses, and to become the emperor's grandmothers, the requirements were even more stringent, and the rules to be followed were also more numerous. If you want to become the emperor's grandmother, you must be innocent, have no bad habits, have no body causes, and be very healthy, so that the milk will be more high-quality. Once you enter the harem, it is as deep as the sea, even the nurse is the same, there is no freedom, except for the time of feeding, can only stay in their own room.
In order to ensure the high quality of milk, as the crown prince's grandmother, but also to abide by an inhuman rule, that is, not to feed their own children, the milk produced can only be drunk by the prince alone, such as the last emperor Puyi's milk lady Jiao Wangshi, after becoming Puyi's milkmaid, especially after following him into the palace, he has not come out, staying for 9 years, during which there is no opportunity to come out to see his children. The reason why Jiao Wangshi became Puyi's grandmother was mainly because the family was too poor and needed her to come out to make money, but since he became a nurse and then was forced to enter the palace, there was no freedom to endure the pain of parting with his own children, which was very painful for a mother. Later, she was expelled from the palace, and it was difficult to see her child, but the result was that her child had already starved to death because he had no milk to eat, which was a disaster for him, it was simply too miserable.
