What is known is that King Wu Ding cultivated the allegiance of neighbouring tribes by marrying one woman from each of them. Fu Hao (who was believed as one of the king's 64 wives) entered the royal household through such a marriage and took advantage of the semi-matriarchal slave society to rise through the ranks[5] to become one of the King Wu Ding's three consorts. The other two were Fu Jing(妇妌) and Fu Shi(妇嬕)[6] Fu Jing was the primary queen while Fu Hao was the secondary queen.
