Zheng Gui was the favorite concubine of King Huai of Chu, and was deeply loved by King Huai because of her good countenance, but this person was a snake and scorpion beauty with a honey belly sword, and her jealousy was extremely strong.
King Huai of Chu's wife Zheng Gui
The king of the State of Wei gave King Huai of Chu a beautiful woman, which made King Huai of Chu very happy, and Zheng Gui knew that King Huai was very fond of this newly sent beauty, so he pretended to like this beauty very much. All the costumes and treasures and antiques were given to her as long as they were loved by this new beauty; the utensils in the palace and in the room were first given to her, and Zheng Gui showed that he liked this new beauty even more than the King of ChuHuai. After King Huai of Chu knew about it, he praised Zheng Gui and said, "What a woman uses to serve her husband is beauty; it is also very reasonable to have jealousy." Now Zheng Gui knows that I like this new beauty very much, and she is not jealous, even more like this beauty than I do, it is like filial piety serving his relatives, loyal subjects serving his own monarch! Although Zheng Gui was very tolerant of this newly sent beauty on the surface, and even gave her many rare treasures, in fact, he had already made his own wishful thinking in his heart.
Zheng Gui seduced the king
After Zheng Gui knew that King Huai felt that he was not jealous, he began her plan of revenge. One day, he said to this beauty, "The king loves you very much, but he hates your nose If you see the king, you must cover your nose." Because Zheng Gui had been very good to himself before, this beauty also let down her guard against Zheng Gui, thinking that Zheng Gui was giving him advice and covering his nose when he saw King Huai again. The king looked very curious, and asked Zheng Gui's new beauty to cover her nose when she saw herself, why was this? Zheng Gui told King Huai of Chu that he knew the reason, but after saying it, it would make the king feel disgusted, so he did not dare to tell the reason. King Huai of Chu told Zheng Gui but said it was okay, and Zheng Gui told King Huai, "This person seems to be very disgusted with smelling the smell of the King's body." King Huai of Chu was furious: "Be bold! "Then he cut off the man's nose and forbade him to disobey the king's decree."
King Huai of Chu
Watching his competitor being turned in by King Huai and cutting off his nose, Zheng Gui's plan was completed, and he finally got rid of this enemy, and he could get the favor of king Chu again.
