In fact, most of the princes have a weak body and a normal appearance. Even the premature death rate of the princes of the Qing Dynasty living in the lavish and splendid Forbidden City was higher than that of children born into commoners’ families. Photo: Sohu

In it, the prince was not allowed to eat too much, each dish was only allowed to eat a little… Therefore, even when there were favorite dishes on the table, the emperor’s sons could not eat to their satisfaction. They are also not allowed to go to windy places… Photo: Sohu

Instead, an important factor for a person to be recruited as a palace maid is to have a healthy body. Because of the job of serving and serving the master, the palace maid needs to be in good health. Photo: Sohu

In addition, many concubines deliberately chose unsightly palace maids as their servants. They did this to avoid letting these court ladies fascinate the emperor when he came to his palace. The concubines did not want to see the palace maids next to them caught the “blue eyes” of the emperor, and after one night they had equal status with them. Photo: Sohu
