Chapter 1180: Prince Moonbreak
“It’s not that simple.” Feiyun shook his head.
“It is both simple and complicated. First, you have to know what’s on her mind. If you want her to be a good and obedient wife and mother, you must provide her with several women with lower status, her sense of superiority will make things easier.” Ximen Chuixiao said: “A mortal king has three thousand concubines so a territory lord or emperor can have hundreds of thousands of concubines.”
“The higher one’s position, the more they possess.” Feiyun said.
“That’s not the reason at all. These lords do not have time to waste on women, cultivation and politics are their real battlefields. They only love a few women, maybe a dozen or so. They never even see the rest or know their name, so why have them in the harem?”
“Why?” Feiyun understood that he was lacking knowledge in this respect.
“On the surface, these women are part of the harem but in reality, the lords only bring them so that his favorite concubines can treat them like slaves. Make them feel superior and they won’t bother you.”
“I see.” Feiyun’s eyes narrowed as he said: “if there are only three levels on a pyramid, then the third level is the lowest, but if there are ten levels, then even the third level is near the top.”
“Smart.” Ximen Chuixiao clinked his cup with Feiyun’s.
Feiyun stroked his chin and said: “But if I marry a few thousand beauties, wouldn’t that harm them even though they are innocent?”
“How do you know that it will harm them? As long as you are strong enough, they will rise with you, borrowing your prestige to strengthen their clan and powers. You harbor no true love for them and neither do they toward you. There is no sincerity here.” Chuixiao said.
Feiyun couldn’t agree to this immediately since he had his principles. He smiled and said: “Let’s drop this topic. Don’t worry, I’ll make them accept whatever status is given, this is men’s world, I can’t let them do what they want.”
