How did the emperors in history repay the nursing mother?
Milk lady, as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, is mainly responsible for feeding the birth of the little prince and the little princess, because the milk lady and the little prince and the little princess are accompanied day and night, it is easy to affect their three views, so the selection of the milk lady by the court is also very strict, and the requirements must be generous and courteous, loving and gentle.
Ancient concubines gave birth to children, why didn't they feed themselves and hire nursing mothers?
First, it is a royal regulation, because I am afraid that the concubine and the child will have too much influence on the child, affecting the growth of the child in the future, and I am afraid that the mother and child will be too close, and the foreign relatives will be too powerful in the future. Second, the concubines are in order to maintain their stature and serve the emperor, because this is the main responsibility of the concubines. The third milk lady also has the responsibility of educating the princess and princess, and the moral quality of the princess has a certain relationship with the milk lady. Fourth, some concubines and princes had the habit of drinking fresh milk, such as Cixi, who was accustomed to drinking fresh milk mixed with tea.
Why don't these nurses feed their children and become nurses?
Poor people, they can't take care of their children, and being a nursing mother is a means for them to make a living. Moreover, once the prince she raised can ascend the throne, then she can ascend to heaven one step at a time, become a human being, and her family can also be sheltered. Going to the palace as an errand boy has a lot of benefits, and from time to time you can get a lot of rewards, which is not available outside.
After the crown prince grew up and ascended the throne, he always respected the nursing mother, so how would they repay the nursing mother? There are three ways.
First, enjoy the glory and wealth
Most of the nursing ladies who have been able to be emperors in the past can enjoy the glory and wealth, and most of them can also have some power, and their families can also be promoted, and some can also honor their ancestors, like Sun Quan, who established the Bao'en Temple for his nursing mother to express his gratitude.
Second, canonization
Some emperors in order to repay the milk lady, after succeeding to the throne will also be crowned milk lady, such as the Northern Wei Emperor Taiwu crowned the milk lady as "Bao Empress", the Shunzhi Emperor sealed the milk lady as "Shanyang Jun", in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are more, the emperor's milk lady has a title, the descendants can also get shelter, but also get some industry.
Third, he was given the title of concubine
Although most of the emperors have a close relationship with the nursing mother, get along with the nursing mother day and night, regard the nursing mother as a relative, and may be more intimate than the birth mother, but only Zhu Jianshen is in love with the nursing mother.
Zhu Jianshen, because of the meticulous care he received from the nursing mother Wan shi from childhood, actually developed some love for her, and after he ascended the throne, he named this woman who was 18 years older than him as a noble concubine, and pampered her so much that even the empress could not compare with her. Even after Wan's death, Zhu Jianshen disappeared with him less than a year later.
