In ancient times, in order to "grow" up the crown prince, the nurse had to accept 3 conditions that were difficult to accept
I believe that you can often see from the TV series that the children of the ancient princes or rich families will have their own nurses. Under normal circumstances, the nursing mother is asked on the one hand to allow the women who have completed the succession to get a full rest, and on the other hand, it is also to solve the problem of insufficient milk secretion of women. For the royal family, in addition to the above two reasons, there is also the most important point for the royal family, which is to prevent foreign relatives from encroaching on the imperial power. Because if the concubines are allowed to feed the princess themselves, the feelings between mother and son will also be very deep, and when the prince ascends the throne, it is inevitable that there will be foreign relatives interfering in politics.
Although the crown prince's nurses were from ordinary people's families, and their living conditions in the palace were much better than before, they had to accept the requirements of the palace and everything was in accordance with the rules. Today, Xiaobian wants to tell you about the three conditions that the ancient prince's wet mother must accept.
The first condition is that the body must be healthy. Feeding the crown prince is not a trivial matter, the health of the prince is related to the future of the country, so the nurse who is elected to the palace must be in good health and free of disease. If the little prince is infected with the disease, the nurse will not only be unable to eat and walk, but also his family and related personnel will be punished together. In addition, in addition to physical health, the appearance of the wet nurse also requires that she must be a beautiful woman, and those ugly-looking, fierce and evil women naturally cannot get close to the little prince.
The second condition is that they should be born well, although the nurses are all women from the people, but the royal family also has requirements for their origins. That is to say, the nurse must be a woman of a clean white family, and her ancestors cannot have thieves and troublemakers, which is also for the purpose of protecting the imperial power.
The third condition is not to see your own biological children. We all know that the little prince's nursing mother is actually a woman who has just given birth to a child, and they have to be separated from their own flesh and blood because they want to feed the prince. Not only that, the nursing mother can not go home to visit relatives, this condition is to prevent the nursing mother from feeding her children after returning home, resulting in insufficient milk and unable to take good care of the little prince. Therefore, in ancient times, many nurses entered the palace for many years and never saw their children, and what is more, after leaving the palace, they knew that their children had died early.
The above three conditions are all the mothers of the ancient princes must accept, in fact, these women are also poor people, if it is not too poor family, what mother will leave her own flesh and bones for many years can not see it.
