Travel through the Xiangjiang chaebol young master and become Liu Tianxian's godfather

Before preparing to attack Deng Lijun, Ma Qingyang still called his fiancée, who had already made a marriage contract, that is, his future eldest wife He Chaoqiong, and asked her if she liked Deng Lijun and whether she wanted to take Deng Lijun by herself.

Although He Chaoqiong is a woman who is relatively late in Ma Qingyang's collection, but the two of them met earlier, He Chaoqiong is second only to Guan Zhilin, and because of her birth, her wisdom, and her tolerant mind, she has been strongly admired by Ma Qingyang, and she is ready to set her as a queen-like figure in her palace.

Generally speaking, if an emperor wants to take a concubine, he will get the consent of the queen, after all, the queen is the commander of the three palaces and six courts.

In the harem, the queen has the power to command all women, so the emperor needs the queen's approval when he wants to favor the concubine, it is said that the queen must first notify the concubine who is favored by the emperor in the form of a document, and this document must be stamped with the queen's seal before it can take effect;

It can be seen that the queen in the harem is - has dominant power.

Even in the ancient tradition of ordinary families, a man had to ask his wife to consent to a concubine.

In ancient times, whether a man needed the permission of his wife to take a concubine was a specific situation, and under normal circumstances, he needed to be allowed by his wife, but if the wife was a stepfamily and had no status in the family, and the man did not need to consider his wife's opinion when doing anything, it was another matter.

In ancient times, it was very normal for men to take concubines, and after a woman got married, she basically lived dependent on her husband, but as the mistress of the wife, her status was equivalent to that of the male master, so before the man took a concubine, he had to go through the permission of the wife, otherwise the concubine could not enter the house at all, unless the man was raised outside, as an outer room, but then it would not be recognized by the family, and the children born to it could not enter the family tree.

According to ancient law, a wife could only begin to take a first concubine if she did not give birth to a son within 20 years of marrying a man, or if a man did not have a son after the age of 40.

In fact, these two regulations are the same truth, because ancient people married relatively early, generally men are married before the age of 18, and women are married at the age of 15, so after a man is 40 years old, his wife has been married to him for almost 20 years.

If a man does not have a son at this age (in ancient times boys were considered heirs, daughters were not counted), he could legally take concubines, and the number of concubines depended on the individual's financial resources.

The law stipulates that this is so that the family will not be extinct, and the bloodline will not be broken.

Therefore, in ancient times, men did not actually take concubines as they pleased, but had to go through legal procedures.

When taking a concubine, you also have to give a bride price and get married, but it's not as grand as marrying a wife. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But this also proves that the concubine is also the man's legal family.

Therefore, in ancient times, the emperor was the only one who could legally take concubines as he pleased, and everyone else had to follow this rule.

However, the law is the law, and some rich and powerful people can directly ignore the law and play with women casually with their own hands, which is also the norm in ancient times.

He Chaoqiong smiled at the time and said: "I like her, I think she is not only good at singing, but also very interesting, I have long wanted to be friends with her!"

When Ma Qingyang heard He Chaoqiong say this, he breathed a sigh of relief. []
