Emperor Naruhito looked at Empress Masako affectionately
Many friends who are familiar with the Japanese Imperial Family know that Emperor Naruhito was once the world-famous "Diamond King Old Five"! It is said that the reason why he did not solve his lifelong affairs until he was 33 years old was actually that he himself boiled himself into an older bachelor by virtue of his strength!!!
And the cause of all this was a young lady named Masako Owada, who made the then Crown Prince Naruhito fall in love for seven years
From 1986 to 1993, it took Emperor Naruhito seven years to marry his beloved girl. Naruhito of this process is definitely a standard obsessive good man, and in order to wait until the beloved girl changes her mind, he waits in the same place with his eyes in shock!
At that time, Naruhito, as crown prince, carried the hopes of the entire Japanese imperial family, and at the same time shouldered the heavy responsibility of continuing the incense for the Japanese imperial family!
At that time, Emperor Naruhito's infatuation seemed to be wishful thinking in the Japanese Imperial Family and the Imperial Household Agency, and for the crown prince, getting married and having children was a major life event and a duty that had to be fulfilled!
As a result, the Imperial Household Agency and the Japanese Imperial Family held a grand concubine selection event for Emperor Naruhito!!! In fact, when Naruhito was still the Prince of Haogong, the Imperial Household Agency had already begun to find a daughter-in-law for him in various "matchmaking", but at that time, Naruhito was only twenty years old, so the Imperial Household Agency and the imperial family were not in a hurry.
The original concubine selection event
It can be seen that there was no Empress Masako among the girls originally selected by the Imperial Household Agency for Naruhito.
However, when Naruhito became crown prince and was already 30 years old, the imperial family and the Imperial Household Agency were completely anxious, and the Imperial Household Agency held a huge concubine selection event.
1990 Concubine Selection Event
From these alternate concubines, it can be seen that Masako Owada is also on the list, but it is not conspicuous. After all, at that time, Empress Masako herself had no intention of marrying into the imperial family, and the Imperial Household Office did not look up to her. It was just that Crown Prince Naruhito was too fond of her, and the Imperial Household Agency had to list Masako as an alternate.
Unfortunately, Naruhito had no feelings for these girls. Naruhito is still the only one who loves Masako Owada!
After another 2 years, Naruhito finally married Masako as he wished, and as for the relationship between Masako and Emperor Naruhito, I will not write more about it here.
Today, I mainly write about the girls who failed to be elected, in fact, almost all of these girls were not voluntarily selected but were selected by the Palace Agency. Girls who can be valued by the Palace Interior Agency are first-class and excellent in all aspects, such as family origin and personal quality!
They are not from the old royal family, the old Chinese, the old nobles, and the worse ones are also from the plutocrat family.
After World War II, Japan's famous families were no longer willing to marry the imperial family, and these families, who were neither short of money nor power, naturally did not want their precious daughters to marry into that suffocating cage.
Empress Michiko's encounter in the Japanese imperial family was enough to deter these girls, not to mention that her own family lineage was not bad, so no girl was willing to marry in.
As a digression, when reporters went to interview these girls during this concubine selection event in 1990, these girls ran faster than rabbits one by one when facing the camera! I don't care about marrying into the royal family at all
The girls who did not marry into the royal family later also had their own happy lives
In the upper left corner is Kushiko Kushi
Kushina is a girl with a lot of talent, and is the family of Ryoko, the Empress Of Japan's Kazumi, and this background is really leveraged! Born in the old palace family, the sweet and beautiful Kuji was admitted to the Medical Department of UTokyo at the age of 34 after losing the election, and it should be known that this Todai Medical Department is known as "the best top 10 students in Japan" in Japan to be admitted! Now Kukiko is a psychiatrist, and she is still a professional woman
Tokugawa Toshiko
Tokugawa Toshiko, daughter of the Tokugawa family. Her father was a professor of Japanese and her mother was a professor of physics. She herself was a bully, graduating first in high school and going to the History Department of UTokyo to study.
After graduating from university, Tokugawa Became an Associate Professor of History at UTokyo university and did a very good job. The husband who married him is also excellent and is a computer researcher. This girl's life can be described as a double harvest of love and career, which is enviable.
Shoko Setkawa is now a famous violinist in Japan.
Ryoko Horiuchi
Horiuchi Shoko, this one is even more powerful. Last year, he became the minister in charge of the new crown vaccine, which means that he became the cabinet minister! Although the position is not as important as foreign minister or chancellor of the exchequer, Japanese politics has always been the domain of men, so it is very remarkable that she can enter the cabinet.
The life of other girls who failed to be selected is also good, at least life is free!
If Masako Owada did not marry into the imperial family, she would have her own life like these girls, but unfortunately.
At the end of the book, I wondered which unlucky egg would marry Prince Yujin in the future.
