To ensure the daily activities of the little princes and princesses, there will be nannies in the palace.

The little princes and princesses from the moment they were born lived in luxury, however, they did not have the happiness of growing up in the loving and caring arms of their mothers. For special reasons, all of them had to be raised by nannies (or nannies, grandmothers).

The mother mother is also known as the grandmother, the mother, the nurse, the mother. The main job of these women is to feed the prince and princess. This made many people wonder, why did the Emperors not let their concubines personally give milk to their children, but had to find a nanny. The reason is simple, but it reflects the Emperor's profound thoughts.

First of all, in fact, the only woman in the harem recognized by the Emperor was actually the Empress. The other concubines, although they have many favors, their status is not equal to that of the Empress. Even when ordinary concubines gave birth to children, the Emperor would not allow his concubines to raise children personally, but were raised in the name of the Empress or some high-ranking concubine in the harem.

And to ensure the daily activities of the little princes and princesses, there will be special nannies in the palace.

The emperor did not want the harem concubines and the prince to be too close.

After that, most of the harem concubines relied on beauty to get the Emperor's grace. But everyone knows that, after giving birth, the body of the concubines will change. At that time, if you continue to breastfeed your baby personally, it will most likely make your health and body worse.

Therefore, to ensure their future glory, the concubines are also willing to let their nannies help them take care of their children. When a nanny takes care of the children, the concubines after giving birth can improve their health, take care of their beauty, and devote themselves to serving, serving and pleasing the emperor.

In addition, there is a more important reason, the emperor does not want the harem concubines and the prince to be too close. In the history of feudal China, almost all princes participated in the struggle for the throne.

However, the Emperor only has 1, so they will not hesitate to use all the resources around them, including the support of their biological mother. Therefore, the Emperor did not allow the prince to be close to his biological mother in order to reduce the situation of the prince relying on the external influence of his biological mother.

From the above reasons, the Emperor's mind can be clearly seen, which not only ensures stability in the harem, but also allows the concubines around the Emperor to prolong their youthful appearance. Most importantly, letting the nanny directly raise the prince and princess is very important in the matter of inheriting the throne.
