Chapter 379
Nangong Yun cast a slanted glance at Du Yunlie, his face was like a floe that was about to shatter, without the slightest warmth.

"Why, lord, don't you want to? Wouldn't it be good for such a beauty to marry home and be a concubine?"

Du Yunlie looked at Nangong Yun quietly, and saw that apart from her indifference, there was only a touch of sarcasm in her calm expression.

What happened today still annoyed her, right?
After living a peaceful life for too long, it seems that there will always be some waves.

Even though he and Yun'er are willing to live a life of "a couple for a lifetime", outsiders refuse to let them, and they will definitely destroy their happiness.

Du Yunlie breathed a sigh of relief, staring at Nangong Yun's livid face, said lightly: "Yun'er, don't make trouble."

Such a gentle coaxing voice deeply pierced Nangong Yun's heart, causing her to take a deep breath.

She is not a fool, how could such an obvious trap and design be hidden from her?

She believed in Du Yunlie as much as she believed in herself. The husband and wife would never betray each other.

But now the situation is like this, in the minds of all the officials, Qi Wang Du Yunlie and Ning Shuang's lady Ning Shuang are getting together.If Du Yunlie refuses to accept his account today, or if he refuses to give the Ning family an explanation, then their Qi Palace will become the target of public criticism.

The Ning family did not hesitate to sacrifice their daughter's future and reputation to set up this situation, and their Qi Palace had to jump down, it really made me angry just thinking about it.

"You want me to be a concubine?" Ning Shuang looked at Nangong Yun timidly with her eyes wide open, with tears dripping on her face, with a pitiful look on her face.

Nangong Yun turned a blind eye and corrected her indifferently, "No, you misunderstood, I'm not that generous. I'm a concubine, not a concubine."

Ning Shuang was dumbfounded when she heard that, tears were in her eyes and could no longer fall, she stared wide-eyed and looked at the Empress Dowager again, full of pleading for help.

The Empress Dowager's face was so condensed, the Ning family members present were also filled with anger, and the rest of the civil and military officials were also shocked when they heard the words.

Compared with concubines, concubines are far behind.Not to mention the huge difference in status, she is not much more noble than ordinary maids.

Because the concubine not only has to serve the master's food and daily life, but also becomes the master's sex toy, which can be destroyed by the master at will.

What's more, concubines are not eligible to ask for any of the six rituals, and can be bought or sold as gifts. In some respects, they are no different from domestic prostitutes.

Li Guo's officials and eunuchs also have many ministers who are afraid of internal affairs and dare not take concubines blatantly. They only dare to buy a few concubines and take them home. The wife doesn't care much about this.

Anyway, a concubine has no status in the family. Even if she gives birth to a child, she can be promoted as a concubine, but the child still has to recognize the main wife as the mother.

Nangong Yun would actually make such a request, which is equivalent to slapping the Ning family in the face in front of everyone, which is too merciless and too much.

Dali Temple Minister Ning Bin, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but opened his mouth, "Princess, your request is too much, isn't it? Ning Shuang is the daughter of my Ning family, even if I marry the prince as a concubine, I can't bear it , You actually want the little girl to be a concubine, this is clearly an excuse for not wanting to be responsible."

Ning Ke, the eldest son of the Ning family, also said angrily, "It's fine if you don't want to be responsible, why bother to insult the Ning family again? Qi Wang's mansion is so domineering, and today it is obvious that we will make life difficult for our Ning family. Father, our Ning family Although the family is not as noble as King Qi's Mansion, but after all, they are relatives of the emperor, and even younger brothers of the Qingbai Mansion. They have never had any concubines. Since the King Qi's Mansion refuses to take responsibility, Ning Shuang will not marry, even if our Ning family raises her For the rest of my life, I will never let her suffer such humiliation."

The people of the Ning family finally couldn't help being angry because of Nangong Yun's frequent provocations. They demoted Qi Wang's mansion again and again.

All the officials whispered, it was a private matter of the royal family, it was inconvenient for them to intervene, but in the face of a one-sided situation, they couldn't help but speak for the Ning family, to persuade Prince Qi and Princess Qi to calm down and calm down. Also more and more impolite.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I dare to talk too much. As the niece of the empress dowager, Miss Ning is equivalent to the status of the princess. It is against the etiquette for a dignified princess to marry into Qiwang's mansion as a concubine. Please the prince and princess think twice."

"That's right, my concubine, but it's just that concubine. It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. King Qi hasn't had a concubine for so many years, which is enough.

Seeing that the officials were talking more and more shameless, and Nangong Yun was surrounded and besieged without saying a word, Du Yunxi couldn't hold back for a long time, and said leisurely from the side, "I didn't realize it before. With so many Ning family members, today is an eye-opener."

The emperor frowned when he heard the words, and glanced coldly at the officials, but the officials who were speaking for the Ning family just broke out in cold sweat, and lowered their heads not daring to speak.

The originally imposing and righteous Ning family members also quickly fell silent, feeling anxious and uneasy. Ning Bin seemed to have turned over in his heart, showing a look of anxiety. He couldn't help but peek at the emperor's face, and lowered his head slightly. .

Just now, he didn't pay attention to his sense of proportion when he was angry, and the edge that had been hidden for so long was suddenly revealed. The emperor's heart is most afraid of forming cliques, and their actions just now, in the eyes of the emperor, are undoubtedly ironclad evidence of clique formation and selfishness Seeing that the emperor's face turned cold, cold sweat broke out on his palms, and the fierce aura just now disappeared without a trace.

The emperor didn't say anything, he naturally knew that tonight's show was going to be a big show, and the reason why he kept silent was to figure out the show thoroughly.

But now, after Du Yunxi pointed out the problem to the point, he understood why Nangong Yun was so aggressive and provoked frequently.

She just wanted to take this opportunity to let him understand that the Ning family was no longer the obscure younger brother they used to be, but a powerful force in the court.

This force is already overwhelming, and it looks like it will surpass the imperial power. If the emperor doesn't take the opportunity to suppress it, it may turn upside down.

Seeing that the atmosphere had quieted down again, Nangong Yun, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again, and the conversation went straight to Ning Shuang, "Miss Ning, don't say I won't give you a chance, what kind of temper am I, you can go and ask, dare you I will never let anyone who gets involved with my Nangong Yun men. Now that you have climbed into Du Yunlie's bed, I have nothing to say. Either die or become a concubine, you choose one."

"Yun'er." Du Yunlie finally opened his mouth. He knew that she didn't want Ning Shuang to enter the palace, but being a concubine would be too insulting to the Ning family.

Nangong Yunhong looked at Du Yunlie, "Brother Lie, I have played enough with you, and it is impossible to allow any concubine to enter the house. You can only choose one of me and her, and you can figure it out. Pray ,let's go."

Nangong Yun pulled Du Qiyou and was about to leave. Du Yunlie looked at her back and sighed inwardly. Before he could refuse to accept a concubine, a voice came out, "I am willing to be a concubine."

Nangong Yun stopped abruptly, and Du Yunlie also looked at Ning Shuang in amazement.

Ning Shuang stared at him, and said softly and timidly, "My lord, I am willing to be your concubine."
