Xie Youwei nodded and showed an enigmatic smile to Xie Rosary.
"Yes, that's right, it's the birthday banquet of the Prime Minister's wife Yu Xia that you know."
Xie Nianzhu tugged at the corners of her lips and spoke in a rather unbelievable manner.
"Her birthday party? How old is her birthday party?."
Xie Youwei raised his eyebrows, thought seriously for a while, and gave his answer.
"forty three."
The corners of Xie Rosary's lips twitched even more.
"Why is she holding a party at Forty-Third? Everyone else is either celebrating their fifties or sixties, or they are young children having a good time. What is she trying to do? Is she trying to get older?"
Yu Xia's position is indeed embarrassing.
The status of Yu Xia's mother's family, the Xia family, is far less noble than that of her husband's family.
Therefore, although Mrs. Yu Xia was high-profile outside, she still had to quietly obey her husband's words inside the back house of her husband's house.
Besides, at her age, she has never been embarrassed in the backyard.
The right prime minister was similar in age to Yu Xia. When he was young, he married Yu Xia just to take advantage of Yu Xia's beauty and the daughter promised by the Xia family at that time.
However, Prime Minister Yu's biological sister was fighting all the way in the harem, and Prime Minister Yu, who was still a small official at the time, also rose to the top.
Later, Prime Minister Yu's sister directly became the Queen Mother of the current dynasty.
The Queen Mother supported Chu Yan to rise to power. In the beginning, Chu Yan was just a tool in the hands of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother wanted to promote her younger brother, so how could Chu Yan dare to object?
In this way, Prime Minister Yu's status is far higher than that of Yu Xia.
The Yu Xia family is used to being arrogant and domineering. When she first married into Prime Minister Yu's backyard, she was still bossy. This made Prime Minister Yu feel dissatisfied for a long time. However, the Yu Xia family was already the head wife of the family, and later she knew that her mother's family was
Although he was defeated, he restrained himself a lot in front of the Prime Minister, but there was nothing wrong with him.
Prime Minister Yu had no reason to divorce his wife, so he had no choice but to let Yu Xia live in his own backyard and rely on his power to dominate and prosper outside.
Prime Minister Yu had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
But it does not prevent the Prime Minister from having fun outside.
Having said this, Xie Rosary became interested.
"Sister, do you know why Mr. Yu Xia said so about Huaxelou?"
Xie You slightly raised his eyebrows.
"Is it possible that the Right Prime Minister often goes to Huaxe Tower to have fun?"
"No, no."
Xie Nianzhu shook her head pretending to be mature.
"That guy didn't go to Huaxelou."
Xie Youwei felt as if she had guessed something and opened her lips in surprise.
"He shouldn't be going..."
"Yes!" Xie Youwei hadn't said it clearly yet. Xie Nianzhu already knew that Xie Youwei had guessed what he meant, so he clapped his hand and said, "That pervert went to Huancai Pavilion!"
Although he had already speculated in his mind, Xie Youwei couldn't help but be surprised when he heard about it.
"He is really bold for a prime minister."
After all, the Prime Minister is an official of the imperial court, so he must be extremely careful in his behavior.
As long as you are an official, it is a disgraceful thing to drink wine and visit brothels. Even if it does not violate the laws of the dynasty, you will still be despised.
What's more...it's still the Huancai Pavilion.
Xie Youwei couldn't help but be curious.
"How do you know this?"
At that time, the names of the people who had been to Huancai Pavilion had not been published. The people in the city actually did not know who had committed the crime, but there were just some rumors.
Then it is said that the Zhenfusi submitted the list to the emperor, and the emperor executed quite a few of them.
At that time, many prisoners were executed together, and many people had their official positions reduced. However, it was unclear whether those experiences were caused by the incident at Huancai Pavilion.
It’s just that Prime Minister Yu seems to have no signs of change these days.
Not being affected by this incident, he could even allow his wife to hold a banquet in the mansion.
He didn't look like someone who was affected at all.
Xie Nianzhu smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice.
"This matter is a bit complicated."
As he said that, Xie Nianzhu glanced at the maid next to him.
The maid suddenly understood, glanced around at the people around her, and raised her chin slightly.
"Everyone, go down and help the lady tidy up in the yard outside so that she can have fun in the afternoon."
With just one word, the maid made everyone around her retreat.
Xicui glanced at Xie Youwei, and after receiving Xie Youwei's look, she also withdrew. However, she did not go to the yard like the others, but stood at the door.
The maid who thanked Rosary was the last one to leave. When she left, she helped to close the door and also stood at the door.
Only two sisters, Xie Youwei and Xie Lianzhu, were left in the wing.
Xie Youwei raised his eyebrows, his curiosity aroused by Xie's prayer beads.
"Can we talk now?"
Xie Nianzhu chuckled, nodded, and spoke in a low voice.
"I heard about this from Cheng Jingnian."
"Cheng Jingnian?"
When Xie Youwei heard Cheng Jingnian's name, she was slightly surprised but seemed to take it for granted.
I'm afraid Cheng Jingnian can know whether the young master of any house in this capital is losing or winning in the cricket fight.
"Yeah!" Xie Nianzhu nodded, "I guess Cheng Jingnian heard it from his father!"
"Prime Minister Cheng?!"
Xie Youwei was really surprised now.
In Xie Youwei's impression, Prime Minister Cheng Cheng has always been a very elegant person, and he is also very gentle in his behavior. He feels like a teacher to Xie Youwei.
Apart from shaking his beard due to Cheng Jingnian's dandyism, Xie Youwei had never seen Prime Minister Cheng show any extreme mood swings.
Such Prime Minister Cheng would actually talk to his son about such court gossip?
Seeing Xie Youwei's shock, Xie Nianzhu quickly started to help Prime Minister Cheng restore his elegant image.
"Prime Minister Cheng is usually very angry. In fact, there was only one prime minister in the dynasty, but Prime Minister Yu relied on the power of the Queen Mother and forced the emperor to give him the position of right prime minister."
"I leave all the hard work to Prime Minister Cheng, and I just do the simple and easy work with more money and water. From time to time, I have to say a few words about Prime Minister Cheng."
"Prime Minister Cheng was an official who passed all the imperial examinations through his own efforts during the reign of the late emperor. He was a serious scholar at that time, and later he worked hard for the country. Who knew that the new emperor would become like this after he came to the throne?
If a pickled thing disgusts him, will he like the right minister?"
After hearing Xie Nianzhu's words, Xie Youwei thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
I really can't bear it, I get angry when I hear it.
I think Chu Yan did so partly because he did not dare to resist the Queen Mother, and partly because he wanted to restrain the power of Prime Minister Cheng Cheng.
