Why did children always die in the ancient royal family? What is the real reason?

In ancient China, the emperor's throne must be inherited by his own son. Therefore, in ancient palaces, brothers often killed each other, but although they killed each other, the children of China's royal families in past dynasties were often few and died early. Especially in the Qing dynasty, the phenomenon of children's premature death is particularly numerous. What the hell is going on here? You may be ashamed to say it.

As we all know, the status of children of the ancient royal family in China is naturally different from that of children of ordinary people. In addition to endless brilliance, there is supreme power in life. Moreover, the age of marriage in ancient times was very low, and most of those children were about to get married under age. Therefore, underage children are naturally not mature enough to do things beyond their age range after marriage.

Once pregnant, the baby is at great risk of deformity, and some will die young. In addition to this reason, there is one more thing. That is, we all know that the emperor is a woman with three thousand harems, and the emperor is busy with government affairs every day. You should spoil those concubines at night. As you know, even the emperor can't let any man do it for a long time, so the genetic quality will be bad.

Once the quality declines, it will naturally lead to the premature death of the baby. Especially in the Qing Dynasty, we all know that the generation of Guangxu Puyi couldn't even have children. It's not that the two emperors grew up with eunuchs and maids-in-waiting, and some parts of their bodies have long been spoiled by them. In addition, the concubines didn't care about the diet of these princes at that time, so malnutrition often appeared among the princes.

In a word, in a word. The emperor has fewer and fewer children. On the other hand, for example, in the family of the Japanese emperor, there are fewer and fewer children of the Japanese royal family. It's not because of consanguineous marriage, because we all know that it is absolutely not allowed in our country now. But where did the ancients know these truths, especially in the royal family, their purpose was to ensure the purity of blood.

Only later, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, there are few problems of childlessness or premature death of children. After all, our science and medical technology are so developed now that there is no concept of blood for shit, because marriage and love are free.
