According to historical records, once the Forbidden City was recruiting a doctor and a 15 or 16-year-old girl applied. Many officials in the palace were tested on their knowledge of medicine, nursing, and recuperation. The woman answered the questions fluently, which surprised all the officials. It turns out that this woman has been studying medicine since she was a child and has long been looking forward to becoming a candidate for the palace. Naturally, she was chosen easily. Before entering the palace, the women in the stable and the hospital also had to tidy up and dress up in palace makeup. Usually three days before delivery, nurses, midwives, and doctors have been selected and are waiting in the palace to be called. Pregnant concubines rested their ovaries on the moon, and once they gave birth to children, they immediately went to serve them. The midwife comes to the pregnant woman and makes all preparations to help her give birth smoothly. If the baby is a prince, the baby girl will be breastfed; if the baby is a princess, the baby boy will be breastfed. Try feeding on several nipples for a while and compare to see which one the baby can accept more. After about a month, the best nipple was left. She was responsible for feeding the baby until weaning, and sent the rest back. After a pregnant woman gives birth, an experienced female medical staff will take care of her. After the full month of confinement, the mother has basically recovered in all aspects, and the midwife and doctors and nurses encourage her to leave the womb. Only the selected teats stay in the palace for a long time and serve as wet nurses to feed the children and take care of the children's lives and daily life. Some midwives and medical officers were favored by the queen and concubines when they were taking care of them in the palace, and they could often leave the palace after leaving the palace. The mother of the great calligrapher Miffy worked as a midwife. Thanks to this relationship, Mi Fu was admitted to be a waiter in the inner court before taking the imperial examination. It seems that as long as you serve the nobles in the palace, you can get certain benefits.
