What did the Qing Dynasty concubines fear most after being favored by the emperor?

In feudal times, it was common for men to have five wives and seven concubines. The status of women in this society was not high, most of them were only considered as “tools” for giving birth. If a wife gave birth to a son, her life would “turn a new page”. This was most evident in the royal palace.

Concubines who wanted to have a higher status and receive more favor had to give birth to a prince, or at least a princess. However, not only were there conflicts in the harem, but it was also not easy for concubines to get pregnant.

The decision to become pregnant and give birth is not something that concubines can do as they please. After being favored, it is the emperor who decides whether the concubine can bear the dragon or not.

If he requested that the concubine not be pregnant, a eunuch would use tricks to prevent this from happening. This was also the thing that concubines feared the most after being slept with by the emperor.

On the contrary, the emperor agreed, the eunuchs of the Jingshi Room would carefully record the date to compare and apply if the concubine was blessed with a dragon pregnancy.

Most of the concubines that the emperor did not choose to carry the dragon's bloodline were those with relatives or clans that threatened to overshadow his position. In addition, some concubines of low status were not allowed by the emperor to bear children.
