The Zashiki Warashi of Intellectual Village - Bonus Part 5

The journey of a generation’s male empress started because of four words.

For aristocratic women in imperial China to marry into a family part of the upper nobility, they must be of the legitimate line and must also have an escort/dowry maid that married into that family. That escort would be a “ying” (媵) and could be considered a concubine.
