Can ancient men still marry concubines after becoming husbands?

In ancient times, Xu could take concubines, and the night before she married the princess, the royal family would arrange other women to do exercises with Xu, so as not to make love with the princess badly. Because ancient times was a patriarchal society, concubinage was allowed, and it was royal. Although the princess married Xu, theoretically speaking, the status of the princess is still higher than Xu. Without the consent of the princess, it is difficult for Xu to meet each other, so Xu can't stand not taking a concubine.

First, the princess is too young to be a husband and wife. The marriage age of ancient women was relatively young, generally ranging from 15 to 19, which was also related to the longevity of the ancients. However, princess marriage is basically political marriage. A princess is like a custom-made dress. When she first became an adult, someone asked or the palace people planned to get married. In the Qing Dynasty, when Nuerhachi's eldest daughter Dong Guogege got married, she was only 1 1 years old.

In such an environment, princesses often get married earlier than ordinary families, which is similar to child brides. For those who marry the princess, it doesn't matter whether they can have children in time. What matters is the wealth and power that princesses can bring to them. In this way, the princesses are actually quite sad.

For the royal family, although the mother and father are distressed by their daughters, it is even more so for the emperor who is involuntarily in the royal family. For the emperor, the princess's marriage is also a means to win the support of ministers and to stabilize the DPRK.

It is precisely because both parties to the marriage have their own small abacus, and the princess is just a medium, so the age is not important. However, for the protection of this media, she is not required to be husband and wife when she is young, but she can't wronged the person who married the princess, so she can take a concubine based on this.

Second, after the death of the princess, Xu Can can't remarry. If you are Xu, you'd better die before the princess, otherwise you may be a little lonely for the rest of your life. In ancient times, many senior officials and powerful people could marry another wife after her death, which was also called "mistress", but Ma Xu could not. The princess died before Xu. If Xu wants to continue to be loved by the royal family and live a rich life, he must keep a festival for the princess and cannot remarry. If he wants to marry a wife, it is not impossible. Then the royal family will take back everything the princess brought to Xu, including property and official position.

If you die in front of the princess, then you can enjoy the property that has been attacked for generations according to normal treatment, but the princess can still remarry. This seems a little unfair to men. It's called a shortage of hands. In ancient times, it was not a good thing for talented people to be husbands. During the Song and Ming Dynasties, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not allowed to participate in scientific research, which was to cut off the official road. This was also a way to prevent the princess from going in troubled times, but she did not worry about food and clothing all her life.
