Are all nuns in the palace unmarried?
According to the regulations of Manchu harem, ordinary ladies-in-waiting can be released to marry around the age of 25. But some maids may be alone, or have been in the palace for so many years that their families have long disliked them, so they choose to be wet nurses in the palace. This kind of mother, like an aunt, teaches maids, rules and labor skills in the palace. There is also the deployment of some daily work.
There are also some mammy who are wet nurses or old servants of ladies. Before entering the palace, they are responsible for breastfeeding or taking care of the diet and daily life of maids. For example, the nurse Rong in Huanzhugege used to be the nurse of the queen and has been serving the queen since she entered the palace. At the same time, because of her relationship with the queen, she has some powers, that is, she is responsible for managing the ladies in the palace. They are actually some grass-roots managers in the harem.
Their status cannot continue to rise. These nuns are long past marriageable age, and most of them are unmarried for life. However, there is no need to serve only one master. If the original owner dies of illness, they may be transferred to other concubines.
