When Princess Baoqing was eight years old, Judy, the prince of Yan, took away his nephew Zhu Yunwen, usurped the throne and became the emperor. Judy regards this sister as the apple of her eye. Judy ordered Queen Xu to take care of her like her own daughter. The princess has grown up. She is beautiful, the most beautiful of all princesses.
Princess Baoqing is in her prime, and Judy is busy looking for her husband's family. Later, Judy found a young man named Zhao Hui. This man was an imperial clan in the Song Dynasty, and his father Zhao He was a middle-ranking official. Unfortunately, Yongle died in Vietnam in the early years. After Zhao Hui became a martyr, Judy was very worried and wanted to find a good wife for him. I found him after a face-to-face investigation? Beautiful appearance? Not only is the face value high, but it is also tall and strong. So Judy decided to marry her favorite sister, Zhao Hui.
It turns out that Zhao Hui is just a thousand households guarding Jinchuan Gate. After being favored by the princess, he immediately became the Xu family and the royal family. The princess's dowry is very rich, which is several times that of other princesses. Judy often gives her a lot of treasures afterwards. At the wedding, my nephew, the Crown Prince, personally sent my aunt Princess Baoqing to her residence. This behavior broke the general rules of the Ming Dynasty.
By marrying the princess, Zhao Hui got wealth, and he should be satisfied. But there is a kind of pain that always makes Zhao Hui feel uncomfortable, that is, Zhao Hui, who is as lewd as life, can't fool around with women. As Xu, concubinage is also allowed, but it must be approved by the princess. But ask, which woman wants to enjoy her husband with other women? So as long as the princess is alive, Zhao Hui can't be partial to other women.
Princess Baoqing died at the age of 40 in the eighth year of Xuande (1433). As for whether she left children for the Zhao family, there is no record in the history books. But what we know is that after the death of the princess, Zhao Hui completely released herself. Taoism was very popular in the Ming Dynasty. Where did Zhao Hui learn it? Yin and yang supplement? Art is a kind of art in Zhong Fang, which is said to prolong life.
Ge Hong's Bao Puzi in Jin Dynasty? There is a clear record in the inner chapter:? There are more than ten methods in Zhong Fang, either to treat strain, or to treat various diseases, or to nourish yin and yang, or to prolong life. Its main point is to replenish essence and brain. ? It can not only satisfy your own desires, but also prolong life. What a wonderful thing! So Zhao Hui found more than 100 concubines to entertain himself day and night. Because he is a son-in-law, Zhao Hui's family can't spend all the money, and he can afford more women. Although Zhao Hui is a womanizer, the imperial court seems to attach great importance to him. He was ordered to "be in charge of the government affairs such as the military and political governor", and once "supervised the Changling Mausoleum (Beijing)", "supervised Nanji Ma Administration for decades", "The General Political Army built a river crossing for fun", "Pasturing the Xiaoling Mausoleum (Nanjing)" and so on. Although Zhao Hui indulged in debauchery, he lived through the Six Dynasties until the 12th year of Chenghua (1476), when he died at the age of 94. As a small official, Zhao Hui's life can be described as a winner's life. He can marry a princess and 100 concubines and enjoy wealth. It is also quite rare to die at the age of nearly 100 in Ming history.
After the Ming Dynasty, it was said that in the Qing Dynasty, Xu Ma in the Qing Dynasty could also take concubines, because before Gege and Xu Ma got married in the Qing Dynasty, someone needed a trial marriage. The trial marriage in the Qing dynasty was that the queen or queen mother first found a clever maid-in-waiting, euphemistically called it? Trial marriage? Try Xu for your precious princess. The maid-in-waiting was first sent to sleep with Xu for one night, and the next day she reported Xu's level, physical defects, even temper and personality to the queen mother in detail. After the princess got married, the maid-in-waiting became Xu's concubine or maid.
