3 special requirements in the internal regulations of the concubine in the harem

Although living in luxury, the queen concubines are forced to follow strict rules, especially when it comes to marriage Emperor.

Here are the special requirements when “sitting in” with the Emperor that almost every dynasty applies.

The eunuch keeps watch by the side

The emperor is the head of a country, admired and respected by thousands of people inside and outside the palace.

In the palace, the Emperor also faced many dangers because many people were greedy, looking for power, wanted to dethrone him to advance to the throne or put someone on the throne. Therefore, ensuring the safety of the Emperor is very important.

Since ancient times, there have been armies to take care of the Emperor’s safety, they are ready to go to hell when there are assassins, whether the Emperor sleeps or hangs out outside the palace.

So, while the Emperor is “in the palace”, the eunuch is the person who is directly next to him. That is, when the emperor and concubine are intimate, they will be seen “completely”, if placed in modern times, it will definitely affect the quality of intercourse.

However, at that time, such a measure was required to ensure the emperor’s safety.

Women after the age of 50 will not be “impregnated” by the emperor.

The second was that those who could sleep with the emperor were generally young women.

When women turn 50, they will reach menopause, physiologically speaking, this greatly affects the effect of intercourse. The concubine no longer had the opportunity to “serve” the Emperor because at that time the harem had more concubines young, beautiful, the opportunity will be for these women.

If these concubines do not have certain political status, they can only be arranged to do some manual work in other areas, eventually, they have to end their lives alone.

Limit time when “marketing”

The emperor is the head of a country, has to take care of national affairs… so to maintain health, the emperor’s life also has many principles, including sleep and rest time.

To avoid overexertion and labor, the Emperor only had about 30 minutes to favor his concubine. When the time is up, the eunuch standing outside will remind.

If the Emperor did not stop by the third time, the eunuch would personally go inside, wrap a cotton blanket and carry the woman back to the palace. Even if the Emperor wanted more time, he couldn’t because that was the rule.
