There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. It's time to come, but the bad news came from Xiangguo's mansion that Xiangguo passed away. The whole Xiangguo Mansion was lifeless, everyone was out of breath, the affairs of Xiangguo were handled by the second lady, the news had been sent to the palace, and the emperor ordered every household in the Qing Dynasty to mourn for three days, and no fun or drinking was allowed within three days. and has been buried by the rites of the Prince. Stay in Xiangguofu for the time being, but if the descendants of Xiangguo are incompetent in the future, Xiangguofu may have to take his surname.

The white clothes in Xiangguo's mansion are hung, the coffin in the hall is placed in the center, and the second lady is still covered with heavy makeup, occasionally shedding a few tears. Ouyang Yun and Ouyang Zhen knelt behind them. The big and small officials who came to pay their respects were listed on both sides in turn. The regent and Ouyang Xue also stood aside. The national teacher was the last to arrive. The last journey of Xiangguo will be seen off by the national teacher. The national teacher is easily faceless, and being able to come in person today shows that the friendship with Xiangguo is extraordinary.

After the people in the palace read the holy decree, they handed the holy decree to Ouyang Zhen, and Ouyang Zhen's eyes were red and trembling, and he took the holy decree with both hands. In three days, he will join the army. Xiangguo explained clearly at the beginning, and asked the third son Ouyang Zhen to start as a soldier, and the emperor agreed. It should have been three years of filial piety, and it should have been at least 100 days. Xiang Guo was afraid that something would happen to his son after his death, so he begged the emperor to let Ouyang Zhen leave Xiang Guo's mansion as soon as possible.

At this time, the second lady was thinking about the family property of Xiangguo Mansion in her heart, but unfortunately all the family property was handed over to Ouyang Xue by Xiangguo, the second lady did not know about it, and she could continue to live a comfortable life if she stayed in Xiangguo Mansion, but if she had other thoughts, I am afraid that life would not be so good.

The regent accompanied Ouyang Xue to live in Xiangguo's mansion for three days, and on the first day, Ouyang Yun came uninvited to ask for things, but before he could speak, he was scolded back by the regent. On the second day, the second lady came in person. "Ouyang Xue, Erniang also watched you marry into the palace, and now you are very beautiful! Xiangguofu was left by the lord to Zhen'er, you are a sister who will not take away your brother's things, right? The meaning of the second lady's words couldn't be clearer, she was obviously forcing Ouyang Xue to hand over the things given by the master.

"Erniang, you live well in the house, what can I take away?" Ouyang Xue pretended to be confused on the side, the things in her hand were given to her by her father, and she couldn't give them to others easily. What's more, this person is the second lady who has always wanted to kill him.

"Yo! Look at what Xue'er said, Erniang is just a mouthful, and it's always good to remind you of some things. Since there is nothing to do, then Erniang will not bother. After speaking, the second lady left with a calm face. The old man has just left, and the second lady will not be stupid enough to tear her face at this time.

"My princess, are you alright?" The regent saw the tiredness on Ouyang Xue's face, and he was a little distressed. Ouyang Xue shook her head slightly, she knew that the prince treated her very well, but she didn't want to cause trouble to the prince.

On the third day, Ouyang Zhen came to see Ouyang Xue, Ouyang Zhen's face was extremely bad, his eyes were bloodshot, and he lost a lot of weight in a few days. It's completely gone, and it seems to have grown up all of a sudden. "Second sister, Ouyang Zhen has something to ask you." Ouyang Zhen knelt on one knee and clenched his hands into fists. Said word by word. In fact, he came to beg the prince.

"Why did you and my brother talk about asking for words? If you have something to say, just say it, and if I can do it, I will definitely agree. Ouyang Xue stepped forward and helped Ouyang Zhen up with both hands, and patted the dust on her knees a few times.

"Tomorrow, Zhen'er will join the army, and I want my sister to go to see him off. And begged my sister for one thing. Ouyang Zhen looked at Ouyang Xue with his eyes as he spoke. That gaze is tenacious, irrefutable.

"Say it!" Ouyang Xue looked up at the regent, meaning do you know what he is going to say?

"They said that the golden shield could save their lives, and Zhen'er hoped that they could save the lives of their mother and eldest sister. Zhen'er knows that they may make big mistakes in the future, but Zhen'er wants them to live well. Ouyang Zhen knew that they had come to Ouyang Xue two days ago, and he knew what it was for, but he still didn't want something to happen to these two people.

"You mean you want me to put the golden shield in Xiangguo's mansion?" Ouyang Xue looked at Ouyang Zhen with some embarrassment. The golden shield is used to protect the life of the prince, if it is given to the Xiangguo Mansion, what will the prince do?

"Okay, I'll do it for the princess." The regent saw Ouyang Xue's concerns, he didn't really care about his life and death, and he wouldn't die at this time.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Ouyang Zhen finally smiled a little.

"When you enter the barracks in the future, you must take care of yourself, if you have free one day, I will definitely go to see you." Ouyang Xue also intended to take out the golden shield, but she was a little hesitant.

"You'll send Zhen'er tomorrow, right?" Ouyang Zhen knelt on one knee again, only the two of them often played together when they were children, even if a long time passed, that memory would still be in his mind.

Ouyang Xue nodded vigorously, and Ouyang Zhen got up and left after looking at it. Ouyang Xue's tears welled up at once. The prince put his arm around Ouyang Xue with one hand and comforted Ouyang Xue with his chest.
