I'll tell you the secret and let's laugh together!

The wife of the Minister of Rites was in tears. She thought that at her age, she could just enjoy her retirement.

I never expected that I would have the experience of losing face when I get old.

After the system laughed, it continued, [After being splashed with cold tea, the Minister of Rites realized that he was not dreaming. His wife was very angry and punished him to draw his own portrait. He had to draw 100 portraits.]

[In recent years, whenever the Minister of Rites made him angry, his wife would punish him by having his portrait painted. If you ask who has the most self-portraits in the capital, the wife of the Minister of Rites would say she is second, and I'm afraid no one can claim to be first.]

Sitting behind the wife of the Minister of Rites was her eldest daughter-in-law, Sun. She nodded subconsciously. There was a yard in the mansion dedicated to storing her mother's portraits. She learned that all of them were painted by her father. She used to envy her mother very much, but she didn't expect the story behind the scenes to be like this. It was really laughable.

At the same time, she was glad that her husband did not have prosopagnosia.

[That’s good too. This is the unique romance of the Minister of Rites.] Ning Zhiyi said.

Some ladies cast envious glances at the wife of the Minister of Rites. Face blindness is not actually a disease. Some husbands are not face-blind, but they are blind in their hearts!

If you think about it carefully, it would be better to find a husband who is face-blind. People with face-blindness cannot distinguish between beauty and ugliness, so they will not be obsessed with beauty.

[It's not easy for the wife of the Minister of Rites. She has worked hard for so many years.] After saying that, Ning Zhiyi thought of something and asked in confusion: [I don't quite understand. The Minister of Rites has face blindness and can't distinguish between beauty and ugliness. Why does he take in so many concubines?]

[Although it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines in this era, only the more lustful adults would have many concubines. The average adult’s house would only have a few concubines, but the number of concubines in the house of the Minister of Rites is a bit unreasonable.]

System: [That’s definitely not reasonable. There’s a lot of logic behind this! ]

coming!

The wife of the Minister of Rites had a feeling that this was as expected. This matter could not be concealed. She might not have the face to continue to move among the ladies in the capital in the future.

His eyes were full of reluctance, and he glanced longingly at several ladies who were on good terms with him. There were so many emotions in his eyes that made the ladies' hearts beat fast.

Some people speculated whether the wife of the Minister of Rites had done something against the law of nature. The one who reacted the most was her best friend, Mrs. Mu, the wife of the Minister of Punishments, who was sitting next to her. Her hands kept shaking as if she had epilepsy.

His lips trembled twice, and he looked like he was crazy, "Are you keeping someone outside?"

"Are you raising a boy or a girl?"

"How many have you raised?"

Everyone:? ? ?

While the others were still in Makkabaka, these two had already got on the highway!

The Queen looked over. She thought there might be a misunderstanding. The wife of the Minister of Rites did not look like someone who would do such a thing.

The eldest princess felt that everything was possible. After all, you can never know a person's heart through his appearance.

"Could it be that all those concubines in your house were raised by you?"

Now it was the turn of the wife of the Minister of Rites to admire Mu's train of thought. She said unhappily, "Listen to what you said. Are those words human?"

"How can I have the courage to do such unorthodox things? All the colored garbage in your mind is not real. Clean it out yourself."

Mu smiled awkwardly, touched her nose, and muttered, "You can't blame me for this. That's what the storybook says, so I think that way."

Only after being glared at by the wife of the Minister of Rites did he shut up.

[The concubines in the mansion of the Minister of Rites were just decorations. With these decorations, the wife of the Minister was honored as the first "wife" in the capital. There is a ballad that goes like this: If you want to marry a wife, you should marry a girl from the He family, who is suitable for both the family and the home.]

Wife of the Minister of Rites: ...

In fact, she didn't know who was so bored as to spread such a song.

[It seems to be like this. I have heard this ballad before. It is normal. The etiquette at that time taught women not to be jealous. The best way to prove that they are not jealous is to take concubines for their husbands. The wife of the Minister of Rites took many concubines for the Minister of Rites. Many adults must be envious of the Minister of Rites.]

Ning Zhiyi held up his face and spoke with emotion.

[No, the Minister of Rites didn't get to eat a single beauty.] The system never stops talking until it's shocking.

"Ahem." The Second Prince's wife was choked. How could this Xitong be so blunt, and there were even unmarried ladies involved?

Just as I thought of this, I heard a young lady whisper, "Eat it? Does the Shangshu-sama eat people? How scary."

Another deep voice sounded, "Okay, you heard it wrong, eat your snack."

Second Prince Consort:...

Well, it wasn’t that Xitong was being too blunt, it was that she was too impure and actually understood what Xitong meant in seconds.

I secretly glanced at Ning Zhiyi beside me. Since I could hear the lady's voice, she should be able to hear it too. Would she be suspicious?

Ning Zhiyi's attention was completely drawn to the system's words, and he didn't pay attention to anything else.

Ning Zhiyi: That’s right, I’m that thick-skinned.

System: [Although the Minister of Rites's mansion has been taking in concubines over the years, the one who appears in the Minister of Rites's room at night is always his wife, Mrs. He! ]

Ning Zhiyi's mouth opened wide, and the CPU was burned.

【What do you mean? 】

System: [The concubines are either daughters of poor families who cannot afford to raise them, or women who are about to be sold to brothels, or are about to marry widowers or some old man who is old enough to be their father as the second or eighth concubine. They would laugh in their dreams if they could be brought into the mansion by the wife of the Minister of Rites as a mascot.]

[Taking advantage of the fact that the Minister of Rites is face-blind, his wife dresses up as a different concubine every night to be with him.]

He's head was lowered so low that it was almost retracted into her neck. She didn't dare to raise it at all. Mu looked at He with an expression that said "you have made it" and, seeing that she was playing ostrich, she patted her.

Two young ladies seemed to be inspired and whispered to their mothers, as if they wanted to imitate this method. They thought they would get their mothers' support, but they were scolded instead.

"Shut up. This is only possible if you have a husband with face blindness."

The young lady's face fell and she wailed in her heart, wondering why her husband didn't have prosopagnosia.

The system then gave He a critical hit, [In fact, the Minister of Rites is not stupid. He had already discovered his wife's little trick, but he just didn't expose it. ]

[Although he is face-blind, the Minister of Rites has a very good nose and knew it was his wife at the first sniff. If he hadn't been behind the scenes to clean up the mess, the wife's scheme would have been exposed long ago.]

[Oh my, this is a two-way love, or the Minister of Rites is smart enough to maintain the peace of the family.] Ning Zhiyi's praise was sincere.

[But the Minister of Rites is very smart. In his opinion, women are divided into two types: one is his own wife, and the other is other women. Of course, mothers, sisters, daughters, relatives and female relatives are not included. Instead of getting involved with other wives, it is better to treat his own wife wholeheartedly.]

[And the Empress and the Princess Royal also knew about this, and the wife of the Minister of Rites thought she had kept it a secret.] The system dropped another bomb.
