Modern royalty does not have the supreme power as it once did in ancient times, and they are more of a national image. For the people, the royal family is the symbol of the country, and their words and deeds reflect the demeanor of the country. Therefore, these royal families who eat and wear well must live in the media coverage all their lives, which is an invisible shackle for them.
Unlike in the past, the royal family's requirements for marriage are not as high as before. For example, Princess Kate, who is well known to everyone, is the commoner princess of Britain. Although she was not born into the royal family, her affinity and the elegant confidence that emanated from her hands and feet were recognized by the British. After all, the most important thing for the royal family is to have a well-behaved, atmospheric and calm image.
However, the ancient royal marriage system is different, and the marriage system of ancient emperors is mostly marriage of interests or through the selection of concubines. However, today we are going to talk about the Japanese Imperial Family, which is also a strange existence.
As we all know, in ancient times, no matter which country's imperial family, it was very important to inherit the blood lineage, and the japanese side of the painting style, it sounds a bit amazing. In order to ensure that the bloodline of the descendants of the royal family can be more pure and not affected by foreign bloodlines, they came up with a method of marriage between close relatives, after all, they are all their own people, kissing and kissing.
Therefore, most of the people who were able to marry the Japanese emperor in the past came from within the imperial family. Even if you are talented and rich, beautiful and indispensable, if you don't have some royal blood, it is impossible to marry the Emperor of Japan. But marriages of close relatives often do more harm than good, as this has a great influence on future generations. Children born of close relatives are often unhealthy.
Therefore, in the former Japanese imperial family, there were very few children who could grow up safely, and most of them were deformed or died prematurely. Nowadays, although the rules for the marriage of close relatives are not so strict, women who can marry into the Japanese imperial family have a bit of family background. However, there are exceptions, and the current Empress Masako of Japan is a commoner. But she won the admiration of the current Japanese Emperor Naruhito with her outstanding charm.
Before marrying into the royal family, she studied at Harvard university and Oxford University, and earned double degrees in law and international relations. Not only was she proficient in Chinese, but she was also a brilliant diplomat. It is said that Naruhito, who was still crown prince at the time, fell in love with him at first sight and spent six years pursuing her. However, royal life also smoothed out Masako's brilliant aura. Because of various strict systems, Masako was overwhelmed and suffered from depression.
In ancient times, those concubines who were able to marry into the royal family really had a happy life? Their lives have long been overwhelmed by various rules and reproduction. It can be seen that what suits you is the best.
