Word has spread among the people that Prince Zhou Yan of Li married a demon consort. Zhou Yan dotes on her alone, and doesn't mind that they've been married for three years without a child.
Ever since the demon consort entered his household, the gates of the prince's residence have had to be coated with gold leaf and the walls covered in jade. They eat the finest delicacies, and her spending rivals the empress's.
Zhou Yan dares not complain. After all, he married a snake. If he makes the demon consort angry, she'll reveal her true form, open her jaws wide, and flick her red tongue as she says, "What's wrong with me spending a little of your money? I put my snake pearl in your belly to save your life, so what? What's the big deal about spending a little money?"

The concubine of the Vice Minister of Rites gives birth to a chubby baby boy. Zhou Yan takes his demon consort to offer congratulations. She sees the adorable baby in his swaddling clothes and says to Zhou Yan, "Let's have one for fun too."
Three months later, Zhou Yan is in so much pain that he sees the Black and White Impermanence. With a scream, he gives birth to an egg.
He looks at the egg, then at the demon consort, who is munching on a huge chicken leg.
He says, "Which one of us is the snake? Why am I the one laying eggs?"
Demon Consort: "We're married, aren't we? I saved your life, so don't make a fuss about carrying a child for me."
