In ancient China, it's common for wives reaching mid-age to tolerate husbands visiting brothels or keeping mistresses, as long as it's kept lowkey and don't bring home. For wives who couldn't bear a son, or for rich families who wanted many sons, it's common to allow husbands to take a second or more wives officially. There's no polygamy law, only affordability law. For emperors, needless to say, set good example with three palaces and six parlours for procreation and recreation.
