Japan and China share a common ground, and have many similarities in terms of cultural customs and sophistication. Ancient Chinese aristocratic maidens married into the court to pass on the emperor's lineage, and Japanese empresses actually faced such pressure.
Especially in terms of son preference, the Japanese imperial family is no less harsh than in China, and Empress Ryoko, the wife of Emperor Showa, was deeply suppressed by this concept.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > married into the royal family with famous families</h1>
In the early spring of 1903, Ryoko was born into a Chinese family in Tokyo. Her father was an army general, her mother was from a family of dukes, and her uncle was the Prime Minister of Japan.
Ryoko, who came from a well-off family, received a good education from an early age and attended the Royal Academy Girls' High School. At the age of 17, Yoshiko, who was from an aristocratic background and was deeply ceremonial, was elected crown princess.
At the beginning of the last century, Japan's crown princesses were subject to rigorous selection by the imperial court and had to be of Chinese or imperial origin. From the point of view of birth, Ryoko is fully qualified to serve as a princess.
However, at that time, Ryoko also had a strong competitor - Miyoko, who was also from the Chinese ethnic group. Gong Fangzi is not only a famous bridesmaid, but also has a more beautiful appearance than Ryoko.
In a hurry, the Ryoko family spread rumors that Miyoko's physical fitness was not good, and it was difficult to give birth to a son. Upon hearing about this situation, the imperial family immediately dismissed the idea of Ritsumiya Fangzi as the crown princess.
In contrast, Ryoko has unique conditions, she has many brothers, the Japanese imperial family feels that Ryoko will inherit the mother's "good birth, easy to get men" gene, to strengthen the royal court, so she and crown prince Hirohito made a marriage contract.
Seeing that he was married into the imperial family, but unexpectedly killed a Cheng biting gold halfway, a Japanese elder claimed that Liangzi's mother's family had a history of color blindness.
A stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves. At the critical moment, Ryoko's father became angry and went directly to the imperial hall, saying that the kiss was proposed by you, and now he wants to retire from marriage, if so, I will first kill my daughter, and then the whole family will cut off the abdomen.
At that time, there were rumors that the army generals had united with the underworld forces and wanted to find trouble for the royal family, and the crown prince Hirohito was also fond of Yoshiko, and the marriage was finally settled.
Ryoko then dropped out of school and entered a private boarding school system to learn compulsory courses for the princess, such as embroidery, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, history, and French.
At the age of 21, Ryoko and Hirohito held a wedding ceremony.
After marriage, the relationship between the young couple is very good, but Ryoko has bad luck and gives birth to daughters one after another, while Miyoko, who was once attacked by her family and has poor health, wins a man in one fell swoop after marrying.
Compared with the two, Ryoko's mother-in-law, Empress Jiezi, has a very bad look.
In order to get Hirohito to have a queen, Setsuko moved the idea of taking a concubine for her son, and also acquiesced to the minister's search for beautiful women to "serve" her son. However, Hirohito cherished his wife very much and firmly disagreed, while Ryoko was depressed all night due to excessive pressure, resulting in insomnia all night.
In the ninth year of marriage, Ryoko finally gave birth to a son, Akihito. The mother is precious, the whole country rejoices, and the life of the good son is finally better.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > torturing daughter-in-law Michiko to the extreme</h1>
After many years of daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law, Liangzi, who was harassed by Jiezi in every way, finally turned over with his son. When she became a mother-in-law herself, she could not push herself and others, and was better to her daughter-in-law Michiko, but on the contrary, she tortured her even more intensely.
Because Liangzi was born superiorly, he especially looked down on his civilian daughter-in-law.
If we talk about comprehensive conditions, Michiko is no worse than Akihito: born in a rich family, young and beautiful, quiet and dignified, highly educated, physical fitness is nothing to say, playing tennis has won Akihito.
However, in the eyes of Ryoko, these advantages are far from making up for the hard wound of Michiko's low birth. If it weren't for the infatuation seed Akihito not marrying and fighting for three full years, Ryoko wouldn't have let her pass the door.
At the time of the big wedding, Ryoko refused to let michiko's parents attend her daughter's wedding on the grounds that they were commoners, and even if Michiko's family paid a sky-high dowry of up to 30 million yen, it was still nothing in Ryoko's eyes.
Michiko was nicknamed "Moon Princess" by the Japanese people because of her outstanding appearance, which also poked Ryoko's glass heart, and she had nothing to do with finding her daughter-in-law, and even tripping her up.
When Michiko first married into the imperial family, Ryoko placed her own eyeliner next to her, and Michiko not only had to learn more than thirty court etiquette, but her words and deeds were restricted everywhere, and even the toilet was monitored.
When Michiko asks questions and says a few words in public, she will be criticized for being "nosy" and "less insider". Michiko buys clothes to make a report, clothes are bought back, style fabrics are also to be blamed, helplessly she had to wear the old clothes brought by her mother's family.
After marriage, the mission of opening up branches and leaves for the royal family was placed in front of Michiko, and Michiko's belly was also very contentious, and she gave birth to her eldest son Naruhito a year after marriage, and four years later gave birth to her next son, Fumihito.
It is said that Michiko gave birth to two sons in a row and was a meritorious courtier of the imperial family, but Ryoko did not see it that way. She herself was humiliated and criticized for giving birth to her daughter, and Michiko was so smooth, which made her very unhappy.
Ryoko is resentful and more critical of Michiko, scolding her at every turn, and picking out the bones in her eggs.
Fortunately, the Japanese Tennō Seems to have inherited a one-size-fits-all gene, and Akihito supports Michiko, allowing her to raise the two princes herself, breastfeed them, and win a kitchen for her wife.
Despite this, Michiko, who has long been bullied by her mother-in-law, has a problem with her health, suffering from depression and aphasia, and once unable to speak out in public.
Before marriage, Michiko was full of youth and vitality, although slim, she was not weak, and under the heavy spiritual oppression of her mother-in-law Ryoko, she became more and more emaciated, and once skinny and lifeless. Akihito, on the other hand, cannot but respect his mother, and because he is busy with government affairs, his wife is often powerless.
This distorted life of abuse did not change until Ryoko's death. It was the millennium of the new century, and Michiko, who was born in 1934, was 66 years old.
The good life was thus ruined in the hands of her mother-in-law, so that Michiko later insisted on not being buried with her husband Akihito after her death.
On the surface, the reason is that "the status is not consistent", but in the bones, it expresses the sadness and dissatisfaction with the life of the Japanese imperial family and the mother-in-law Ryoko.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" > gene god copies the genetic small eye to the granddaughter</h1>
Although Ryoko has passed away, his sins are still there. In addition to successfully influencing the abused Michiko to become an evil mother-in-law, she also passed on her inferior genetic squint "perfectly" to her great-granddaughter Princess Aiko.
Princess Aiko was born on December 1, 2001, the eldest daughter of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako of Japan, and their only daughter, as Prince Uchihito, known as Prince Aiko Uchiya.
Aiko's mother Masako is a well-known great beauty, when Naruhito in order to pursue Masako, did not hesitate to let his mother Michiko come forward, and even knew that the other party had a boyfriend still not dead heart, after seven years of hard pursuit to successfully hold the beauty return.
Before marriage, Masako studied at the University of Tokyo, Harvard University and other famous universities, and was also an excellent diplomat, with outstanding temperament and talent, which was praised by the Japanese people.
Empress Masako's genes are so good that the Japanese people expect her to continue the bloodline for the imperial family, but Masako was not pregnant for many years after marriage, and later gave birth to her son through scientific and technological means.
Everyone thought that the daughter would follow her mother, and Aiko would be as beautiful and charming as Masako, with a noble temperament, but as Aiko grew up day by day, the expectations of the people gradually fell short.
From Aiko's appearance, masako's genetic influence is almost completely invisible, but she can faintly see the shadow of her great-grandmother Ryoko, especially the pair of eyes, which are thin and long, and there are some swollen eye bubbles, which are almost the same as Ryoko.
Aiko originally had some baby fat, and with these small eyes, even if she was smiling, she didn't have any temperament to speak of.
As Aiko grows up day by day, the "Eighteen Changes of the Female University" expected by the Japanese people have not appeared, and Aiko's eyes are still small, and how to look at it lacks radiance.
As the princess grew older, the opportunities for her to attend public events increased, but it did not seem to be a good thing for Aiko, because the Japanese people were keen to talk about her appearance, and even compared her to Empress Masako, thinking that Aiko's appearance was too inferior to her mother.
No girl likes to be called ugly, but Aiko, as a Princess of the Japanese Imperial Family, inevitably has to become the talk of others. In the final analysis, it was Emperor Hirohito who caused the trouble, and if it were not for his insistence on marrying a good son who did not look amazing, his grandchildren would not have encountered such helplessness.
Although Aiko was unable to inherit her mother's good genes, as the only child of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, from the moment she was born, she was loved by her parents and was also a blessed person who won at the starting line.
