In ancient times, many Tang Huo legally owned money and power, but why did they envy my concubine so much?

As we all know, in ancient times, every man could have more than one wife and concubines, and the emperor could even have three thousand concubines. So we can see a lot of house fights and palace fights in TV dramas.

Concubines in TV plays are often extremely powerful, bullying and framing their wives and doing everything they can. And the wife is not a fuel-efficient lamp, because jealousy is bursting, and the means to deal with concubines can be described as extremely ruthless.

In fact, in ancient times, concubines were not as arrogant as in TV dramas. In ancient times, concubines seemed to have a low status, just like maids. Ordinary people marry concubines only to carry on the family line, and children born of concubines can only call their wives their mothers.

In this way, there is really no reason for a wife to be jealous of concubines. After all, the wife's status is much higher than that of concubines. But for many powerful people in ancient times, their marriage was a political marriage, and they didn't necessarily like their wives much. So they will marry many concubines, and when they meet a concubine they like, they naturally like it.

If the wife is unhappy because of this, even if you have the right to betray the concubine, the husband will be the first to rush out to protect the concubine. If one of them can't do it well, I will accuse you of jealousy and divorce you directly. No woman wants to see her husband with another woman, and when she sees that her concubine is loved, her wife will naturally be particularly envious.

Of course, part of the reason is that the appearance of concubines will take away part of his wife's resources. The ancients said that a mother's child is precious. Even if this woman doesn't mind a concubine stealing her husband's favor, she will never mind that her son threatens her children's status. If it's okay for a wife to have a son, it's hard for her if she doesn't have a son.
