After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the revolutionary party forced Emperor Puyi to abdicate, but in order not to force the Manchu nobles to be anxious, so the revolutionaries did not let Emperor Puyi move directly out of the Forbidden Imperial City, on the contrary, in addition to not being able to be an emperor, Puyi's living standards were still the same as the emperor's living standards. Later, when he reached the age of marriage, he also married a very beautiful and intelligent woman in his family. So we can see that Puyi's life is still good.
However, Puyi's right to stay in the palace does not mean that the extra eunuch palace women in the palace have the right to continue to stay in the Forbidden City. Originally, at the beginning, they still stayed in the palace, but later the common people were very unhappy about the fact that they hid in the palace to enjoy the blessings, and at the same time, they were very unhappy that the Manchu nobles who caused the embarrassment of the people's lives continued to serve them, so in order not to make the people restless, the revolutionary party only left 1 or 2 waiters for each of the workers' Manchu nobles, and the rest were all driven out of the palace.
This includes a lot of palace women, in the Qing Dynasty, even if it is a palace girl, it is also reviewed by the royal family, so these palace women are generally okay. Logically, these women should be more likely to ask for marriage after leaving the palace, but in fact, most of them are treated coldly after leaving the palace. So why is that?
First of all, this is because for ordinary people, this group of palace women is no longer as useful as before, in the past when the Qing Dynasty royal family was still relatively prosperous, if you can marry a palace girl, it means that someone can make them ordinary people rely on it. But now that the Manchu nobility status ceased to exist, even if they married these palace women, there was no one to help these people solve some problems in their lives, so there were fewer people who married palace women.
In addition, in ordinary people's homes, girls are fifteen or sixteen years old to get married, that is, the palace women generally stay until they are older and then go out of the palace, and then they can get married, so for the men of the Qing Dynasty, it is better to marry these palace women than to marry those younger girls, and therefore, due to conceptual discrimination, the number of people who marry palace women has become less.
In addition, because the palace women have been staying in the palace, so their views on some concepts are actually still a certain gap with ordinary people, if these palace women are married home, it is likely to conflict with some of the concepts of the family, and finally the possibility of family conflicts is greater. Of course, the last very main reason is because these people suspect that the palace women have physical defects, because in the palace, the palace women do not dare to casually tell their masters what diseases they have, they can only endure themselves, and in the end whether there is a cure is not known, so for girls with unknown physical condition, they do not dare to marry home.
