Bai Lingjun also joked and said: "Husband, Sister Big Tiger is pregnant with your flesh and blood. Although I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl, I can't help but care about it."
Cao Shuang patted his head in embarrassment and said, "Hey, look at my husband's memory, he almost forgot that Dahu is a pregnant man."
Cao Shuang then said to the maid who was supporting Sun Luban: "Hurry up and help the big tiger go back to rest. It will be of great benefit to you to take good care of him."
The pretty maid supported Sun Luban and bowed her knees and said: "Even if Alang doesn't say anything, I will take good care of the girl. Alang, the girl treats the slave very well."
Sun Luban also wanted to bow slightly and salute. Cao Shuang quickly stepped forward to support her and said with concern: "Since I have a body, there is no need to salute."
Then Sun Luban, with the support of the maid, walked through the east corridor leading to the backyard and headed towards the backyard. The maid also held a lantern in her hand, which illuminated the road ahead more brightly.
As Sun Luban and the maid gradually disappeared into the corridor, Cao Shuang looked at the two women and said, "Jianjia, Lingjun, it's getting late, let's go back and rest."
Bai Lingjun looked at Xiao Ruan, the personal maid waiting at the gate downstairs, and said, "Xiao Ruan, except for Sister Dahu who is pregnant, where should my husband go to rest tonight."
Xiao Ruan thought for a while and replied: "Madam, Alang was in our house last night. It's time to go to the eldest lady's place tonight."
Bai Lingjun pushed Cao Shuang's strong body and said softly: "Husband, let's go to sister Jianjia's place to rest tonight. Alas, our family is still too small. We only have three sisters. It would be nice to have more."
Jian Jia also smiled and said: "I have the same thoughts as sister Lingjun. If there are too few sisters in my husband's backyard, people who don't know outside will think that I am a jealous person like Zheng Xiu."
During the Warring States Period, King Huai of Chu had a beloved concubine named Zheng Xiu. Zheng Xiu was a famous jealous woman in history, and she was quite scheming. At that time, the people of Wei gave King Huai of Chu a beautiful woman. Zheng Xiu was so jealous that he planned to cut off the beauty of Wei.
nose.
When Wei Mei first came to Chu State, King Chu Huai, the king of Chu State at that time, loved her very much.
Zheng Xiu saw it and hated it in his heart. Zheng Xiu did not show his jealousy, but did the opposite.
She was very kind to Wei Mei. She gave Wei Mei the most beautiful clothes to wear, the most precious jewelry to Wei Mei, and prepared the best furniture for Wei Mei.
When King Chu Huai heard about this, he was very satisfied with Zheng Xiu. He said: "It is normal for a woman to be jealous of a man who has three wives and four concubines. But because Zheng Xiu likes Wei Meiren, she treats Wei Meiren well, which is enough to see
It turns out that she is completely infatuated with me."
Zheng Xiu felt that the time had come. She pretended to tell Meiren Wei: "Although you are beautiful, you don't understand a man's heart."
Wei Meiren had 100% trust in Zheng Xiu and quickly asked why.
Zheng Xiu said: "Men all like reserved beauty. When you open your mouth and have big white teeth, King Chu Huai doesn't like that the most."
Wei Meiren believed it. Then Zheng Xiu gave Wei Meiren an idea. Zheng Xiu said: "When you talk to King Chu Huai next time, cover your mouth and nose with your hands and don't show your teeth. That way the king will be more confident."
I love you so much."
Wei Meiren followed Zheng Xiu's method. As time went by, the King of Chu felt very strange about Wei Meiren's behavior.
He knew that Wei Mei and Zheng Xiu were close and were "close friends in the boudoir."
He was embarrassed to ask Wei Meiren, so he asked Zheng Xiu: "Do you know why Wei Meiren always covers her nose when talking to me?"
Zheng Xiu said: "I know the reason, but I dare not tell the king in person because it doesn't sound good."
The King of Chu said: "But it doesn't matter."
Zheng Xiu saw that King Chu had taken the bait, so he started to frame Wei Meiren: "Wei Meiren told me privately that the king has bad breath. I have already advised Wei Meiren that we are all the king's concubines, and everything about the king should be tolerated and accepted.
.
Who knew that she was so arrogant and indulged in the king's favor that she would not listen at all."
After hearing this, the King of Chu was very angry. He ordered Wei Meiren's nose to be cut off.
The King of Chu once had good relations with the State of Qi. Zhang Yi came to sow discord under the order of the King of Qin. Zhang Yi said to King Huai of Chu: "As long as you abandon the State of Qi and form an alliance with the State of Qin, the State of Qin will cede 600 miles of land to you." Waiting for Chu.
After breaking off diplomatic relations with Qi, Zhang Yi only gave King Chu six miles of land and made King Huai of Chu look around.
Later, the King of Chu asked Qin to hand over Zhang Yi and imprisoned him. Zhang Yi sent people to find Zheng Xiu.
The visitor said to Zheng Xiu: "The King of Qin attaches great importance to Zhang Yi. If Zhang Yi cannot return to Qin, the King of Qin will marry the princess to the King of Chu in exchange for Zhang Yi. Then your status will be in danger."
Zheng Xiu's jealousy became active again, so she blew the wind in the ear of King Huai of Chu. The King of Chu obeyed her words and let Zhang Yi go. Such jealous people are rare.
Lu Pheasant was also very jealous, but she was more tolerant. Maybe she knew Liu Bang was unreliable, so she took action only after Liu Bang died.
Lu Pheasant married Liu Bang when he was young and beautiful. At this time, Liu Bang was still poor and had parents and children. It was really wronged for the delicate Lu Pheasant to marry him. But Lu Pheasant did not dislike it at all. She married her husband and raised her children.
She runs the house and is a model of a good wife.
However, all the sacrifices of Lu Pheasant were not appreciated by Liu Bang. During the war between Chu and Han, Lu Pheasant was captured by the Chu army. Not only did Liu Bang find no way to rescue his wife, but he fell in love with the younger and more beautiful Mrs. Qi. Later, the two armies negotiated peace
, Lu Pheasant was released, but found that there was no place for her beside Liu Bang.
Not only that, after Liu Bang ascended the throne, he also wanted to abolish Lu Pheasant's son from the crown prince position and make Madam Qi's son the crown prince instead. Fortunately, Lu Pheasant was forbearing and clever and was able to reverse the situation.
However, the seeds of hatred were also planted in Lu Pheasant's heart.
Later, Liu Bang died, Lu Pheasant and Liu Bang's son Liu Ying ascended the throne, Lu Pheasant became the queen mother, Lu Pheasant, who was waiting for revenge, killed Mrs. Qi's son Liu Ruyi, and made Mrs. Qi into a human pig.
Even Lu Fei's own son Liu Ying couldn't stand the cruelty of his methods. From then on, he became uninterested in state affairs and soon died in depression.
The death of Liu Ying not only did not make Lu Fei stop, but made her seize power even more unscrupulously. For a time, Empress Lu dominated the world, and the Lu family almost replaced the Liu family. It can be seen that if a woman is not good at controlling her jealousy, she will
It has great consequences, and in serious cases it can even bring the country to the brink of collapse.
Dating back to the era of the princes, "three palaces" has another meaning. "Book of Rites" records: "The queen has six palaces, and the princes and wives have three palaces." This means that the king has six palaces, one for the main residence, and five for the attendants. The princes have three palaces.

But regardless of whether they are princes or kings, they must be more powerful and powerful, so they can have more wives and concubines. Although Cao Shuang is not as good as emperors and princes, but based on his identity and status, the number of wives and concubines he has is still a little less.
With the development of the times, the vassal states gradually disappeared. When the feudal society was established, Qin Shi Huang invented the word "emperor" and was fortunate to become the "First Emperor". But unfortunately, the Qin Kingdom perished before Qin Shi Huang could arrange the harem.
.
In the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang called the emperor, the queen mother and the empress the three palaces, and the six palaces in the vassal era were called the six courtyards (six gardens), and all this slowly became custom-made. The great poet of the Tang Dynasty wrote in "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"
: "Looking back and smiling, the concubines in the Sixth Palace have no color." This refers to the most beautiful woman in the harem...
