爷后宫佳丽三千
[yé hòu gōng jiā lì sān qiān]
Based on historical and cultural elements, this statement means literally: 'I, Your Highness, have three thousand beautiful concubines waiting in the harem'. This portrays someone who assumes royal power, status and immense wealth to attract lots of female attention; often exaggerating one's lifestyle in jest or boasting fashion reflecting the ancient emperor system wherein emperors had multiple concubines and official consorts in addition to a single primary wife (empress).
