Why do concubines over 50 years old no longer have the opportunity to “close” to the emperor?

As the head of the country holding the greatest power and wealth, emperors often had many descendants. To have many descendants, the emperor has a “terrible” harem.

Through the recruitment process, the emperor’s harem had hundreds and thousands of concubines and young beauties. Not only that, during the tours, the king could bring back the beauties he collected in the regions.

Even some palace maids with graceful and intelligent appearance “catching the eye” of the king can also become the emperor’s concubines.

Most of the concubines entered the palace at a very young age (under 20 years old). Most of them wanted to be blessed by the emperor and be able to have a baby.

If a prince or princess is born, the status of the concubines will become more and more solid and have the opportunity to be ordained to a higher position by the king. At that time, the favored concubine will be able to enjoy a more prosperous and rich life than others. Therefore, the concubines often used all kinds of ways to get the emperor’s attention and have the opportunity to be impregnated.

However, when they are over 50 years old, the concubines in the harem will hardly have the opportunity to be impregnated by the king. Many people believe that at that age, the concubines were old and their beauty faded, so the emperor was not interested.

However, this is not correct. Despite being over 50 years old, many concubines still have a salty and beautiful beauty thanks to the application of beauty care measures to keep their youth.

The main reason why concubines are not allowed to be seen when they are over 50 years old is said to be because they are not easy to conceive. When in their fifties, many concubines are in a state of menopause. This means they are unlikely to get pregnant.

In addition, the emperor is also old, so he is not as prolific as when he was young. Because he wanted to have many children, the emperor chose to marry young concubines – who were easier to get pregnant.

Just like that, as the concubines grew older, the emperor’s favor decreased. On the contrary, the younger concubines have a great chance to be impregnated to make the king more descendants.
