Why does the princess have to let the maid-in-waiting and Xu spend the night in advance before getting married, and the maid-in-waiting agreed to get married?

A happy marriage adds wings to people's lives, but an unfortunate marriage puts a yoke on people's lives-Beecher.

Marriage has been the most important thing in a person's life since ancient times, and whether it is ancient or modern, marriage pays attention to the right family. It is impossible for an ordinary person to marry a rich girl. This kind of marriage will make people laugh in ancient times, especially in ancient times, people pay more attention to the right match. Children of ordinary families can only marry children of ordinary families, and ladies of rich families can only marry sons of rich families.

Xu's candidate is either rich or expensive.

Speaking of the marriage of the emperor's family, it is natural to pay attention to the right match. Throughout the marriages of emperors in China, the princess didn't marry the sons of princes and nobles. Which noble's son didn't marry the giants? Therefore, royal princesses often do not have their own freedom of marriage, which is also the constraint of identity and can only obey other people's arrangements. So many emperors in ancient times arranged "political marriages" for their daughters. Although they came together for the benefit of the country, they sacrificed their daughter's happiness. I have to say that the daughters of the royal family may be quite wronged.

And those who can marry a princess are naturally outstanding people. They are usually princes and nobles, or princes of another country. They also have an exclusive title, that is Xu. I believe everyone who likes watching costume TV plays knows this title. In ancient times, no one didn't want to be Xu. If you become Xu,

You may have to stay at the maid-in-waiting for one night before you can enter the bridal chamber.

However, there is one thing you may not know or even have heard of. This is also a wonderful custom, only in Ma Xu. This custom is that Mr. Xu has to sleep with the maid-in-waiting for one night before he can take the princess into the East. Speaking of this, many people may be confused about this custom and want to know why. Many netizens said that even in ancient times, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but it was unnecessary for Ma Xu to spend one night with a humble maid-in-waiting before marrying the princess. Is the princess not as good as the little maid-in-waiting?

In fact, there is a reason for this, because princesses are noble and the daughters of a head of state, so even if they are ugly or ugly, they will not worry about getting married. Because of this, the emperor was very strict with Xu, not only having his own royal family, but also Xu's personality, appearance and other aspects, all of which must meet the requirements in order to become Xu. But one thing is invisible to the naked eye, that is, the health of the body, and to marry a high princess, Xu's body must not have problems.

The reason behind the wonderful custom.

For example, a princess in the Ming Dynasty chose Xu. The princess not only looks beautiful, but also has a good figure, but her eyes are not very good. She just picked a diseased seedling and didn't see it when she picked it. Until their wedding day, the Xu family suddenly vomited blood and died before entering the bridal chamber, and this beautiful princess could only be a widow. So there is a wonderful tradition mentioned above, that is, before the princess and Xu enter the bridal chamber, the maid-in-waiting test should be carried out. This is mainly for the princess's future happiness. As for face and dignity, it is not so important.

Because there was no such high-tech medicine in ancient times to check the physical condition of both parties before marriage, we can only check it in some special ways. This inspection method is to let princess Xu and the maid-in-waiting spend the night before marriage. The purpose is to let the maid-in-waiting try this Xu's physical condition first, such as whether she has any defects or hidden diseases. After this night, the maid-in-waiting will truthfully report her own test results, and then decide whether Xu's physical condition is qualified. Seeing this, many people said that this maid-in-waiting really knows the goods, and the maid-in-waiting who can be selected for the test is undoubtedly very lucky.

It's hard to accept now

And this wonderful custom has been used for a long time, even in the Qing Dynasty, this custom still exists. Before the Qing dynasty princess got married, the eunuch in charge of this matter in the palace would specially select the maids for such a test. First of all, it will test whether Xu is sick and whether he is qualified to lose his temper. After testing, if they are normal and meet the requirements, the emperor will arrange the princess to get married. I have to say that this custom is really true.

Of course, this kind of situation only exists in the marriage of royalty, and it is only for people of Xu's identity. For ordinary people, it is naturally unnecessary to be so complicated. In fact, it's not because they think it's wonderful, but because they don't have the necessity, ability and qualification to do so. Imagine that if such a thing exists among ordinary people, society will not get out of control, and later, people will gradually realize the disadvantages of this practice. So this practice was finally abandoned. Many people say, who came up with such a thing? The brain circuit of the royal family is really not an ordinary wonder. If you play it now, many people may break up in minutes. Who can allow her husband to touch other women?

True love never fades. Hugo

Such a thing was normal in ancient times. After all, in the imperial family, they only look at face, power and status. For such a trivial matter, they naturally didn't care. I'm afraid even if Xu later fell in love with someone else, the princess wouldn't care. Many netizens can't help but sigh when they see it here. It turned out that people were so open-minded as early as that time, but now people live more and the pattern has become smaller, but it may be so. I wonder what you think of this phenomenon?
