Every time Puyi eats, he must first eat something to appetize, and the palace ladies are shy and avoidant.
Speaking of Puyi, everyone will not feel strange, he is the last emperor in Chinese history, known as the last emperor, and his legendary life is also full of tragedy, from the age of three to the age of six, never a day really grasped real power. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he was imprisoned in the imperial palace like a caged bird. It was difficult to get out of the palace, but he was used by the Japanese as a pawn to invade China, became the emperor of puppet Manchuria, and was sent to prison for more than ten years for this reason. When he was released from prison, he became a flat-headed citizen, and even went back to his former home to take a look at it and buy tickets.
However, Puyi was after all an emperor when he was young, and his living conditions were also very superior. Not only were there many eunuchs and palace ladies who took care of his diet and living, but there were also special nurses who took care of him. Although Puyi was emperor at that time, he was indeed a small child, so he was very dependent on his own nursing mother in many ways. We can also see from the movie "The Last Emperor" that Puyi and his grandmother have a very deep relationship, and later his nursing mother was quietly sent out of the palace, Puyi chased and ran for a long time but did not even see the last side of the nursing mother, thus lost for a long time.
It is also because of his dependence on the nursing mother that Puyi developed a habit of eating when he was young, which lasted until he was about fifteen years old. That is, Puyi must drink breast milk before he is willing to eat, that is, he must drink the milk of the nursing mother first. For that time, the emperor's request to those eunuch palace women must not be refuted, but because the thinking of people in feudal society was particularly conservative, people dressed to cover the skin of the body, and the nursing mother had to feed Puyi, she had to show her breasts before she could carry out. Therefore, many palace girls were particularly shy at that time, because many women were yellow flower girls, who had not experienced these things, and they were in public. Naturally, no one refuted the emperor's request, but the palace maid was very shy, so when Puyi drank milk, many palace women would avoid it, so that they would not be particularly embarrassed.
Seeing here, everyone feels particularly strange, a teenager is still eating breast milk, which seems to be unacceptable to many people now. And Puyi himself can't explain the specific reasons for this habit. Probably because he was in the palace, he had no friends, and there were very few people who were really good to him, and his nursing mother Wang Jiaoshi was very good to him, so it was also the reason why Puyi relied so much on the nursing mother.
