The Qing dynasty was ruled three Manchu women, Empress Dowager Ci'an, Empress Dowager Cixi and Emress Dowager Longyu from 1861-1912.
The last two Manchu Empress Dowagers, Princesses and female attendants commissioned these photos showing them with their Han Chinese eunuch slaves. All the boys and men in these photos were Han eunuchs and the women were mostly Manchu. Some of the named women were Empress Dowager Cixi, Empress Longyu, Fourth Princess (Yikuang, Prince Qing's daughter), Yuanda Nainai, Junshou, Rongling, Deling.
Qing dynastic law said that eunuchs must be Han (non-banner), palace maids must be Manchu or Mongol banner, while concubines and Empresses must be Manchu Mongol banner or Han Banner.
These Manchu Empress Dowagers began the practice of marrying their Han eunuchs to Manchu palace maids. Cixi married off Hešeri Ronger to a Han eunuch surnamed Liu as a present when Ronger turned 18 and there was another couple encountered by George Norbert Kates.
