What did it take to become a wet nurse in ancient times? How can I become a wet nurse?

Everyone envied the ancient emperor because he was the most powerful man in the world. There are many privileges of the emperor. There are three palaces and six courtyards. The emperor lets you die in the middle of the night, and you will never live to the fifth watch. So in ancient times, many people wanted to be emperors, and even put moths to the fire for the throne. Although this position has great powers and privileges, it also has great responsibilities. Therefore, people who can become emperors are basically the elite of the people, and those who serve the emperor have higher requirements. In the ancient palace, it was a great honor to be the emperor's wet nurse, but there was also unknown sadness behind this honor. Because in order for the emperor to drink safe milk, the wet nurse must abide by an inhuman rule. Is this rule ten? Let's take a look together.

We know that in ancient times, wet nurses were very popular, and some big families would ask wet nurses to raise children, and the emperor was no exception. In the palace, concubines generally have no restrictions on having children, so some concubines have many children. So many children's biological mothers couldn't take care of them, so at that time, in order to let the prince grow up, they naturally found some wet nurses. And there are many conditions for becoming a wet nurse. The first point is to be innocent and have a high "gold content", otherwise the little prince will commit the crime of not having enough to eat. After becoming the prince's wet nurse, personal freedom will be restricted, except for breastfeeding time, basically staying in the room. This is also to prevent some accidents. After all, the safety of the prince is very important. Moreover, after becoming the prince's nanny, she must abide by an inhuman rule, that is, her milk can not be given to children, but only to the prince.

In the Qing Dynasty, Jiao Wangshi was Pu Yi's wet nurse, and she stayed in the palace for nine years. She was the oldest nurse in the palace at that time. She was born in a very poor family. At that time, because I couldn't support my children, I went to the palace to be a wet nurse. Wang Jiao looks good and comes from an innocent background, so the person who chose the wet nurse at that time took her into the palace. In her opinion, it is very easy to be a wet nurse, but when she arrived at the palace, she found that everything was different from her imagination. The strict rules in the palace not only restricted her from feeding her children, but also restricted her freedom to leave the palace, which was undoubtedly a great blow to her. It has been nine years since she left the palace, and when she got home, she realized that her child had starved to death and her husband had disappeared. I thought that entering the palace as a wet nurse could save the family, but I didn't expect it to bring disaster, with a sigh!
