Speaking of this, she looked at Wang Yuanheng again and said, "Your grandfather was in the respect of the emperor, but he avoided extravagance and practiced the education of his children, which left a deep impression on the people around him.

After listening, Wang Yuanheng pointed to more than a dozen large boxes outside the sedan chair and said, "But what is this thing used for?"

Princess Lu Guo sighed and said, "It coincides with the Empress Dowager's upcoming 80th birthday, so I prepared a gift to go to her old man's house to pay homage to her birthday."

After a pause, she added: "Although this empress dowager is not your biological grandmother, because of your grandmother's early death, I and your father were raised by her, and I should treat her more dearly than my biological mother."

Then she said, when I left Bianjing, I was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and more than 30 years have passed in a flash, and I don't know if her old man has changed.

But if she knew that the heir of King Dezhao's brother had become an adult, she would be a hundred times happier than I gave these birthday gifts!

After hearing this, Wang Yuanheng suddenly had the idea of meeting his grandmother, so he agreed with his aunt: go to visit the empress dowager together.

After deciding, Princess Lu immediately asked Wang Yuanheng to change his clothes and go forward with him in his entourage.

Along the way, everyone saw the mother and son talking and laughing, and they were very affectionate. Although they were full of doubts, no one dared to ask more.

The car was fast, and within a few days, the group arrived outside Bianjing. After inspecting the token of the princess of Lu State, the general of the city defender immediately sent a team of sergeants to escort everyone to the palace.

After arriving outside the palace, Princess Lu first arranged for everyone to rest outside the palace for a while, and then went to the harem alone to report the news.

After a short time, a team of palace people came out, the guard of honor was majestic, and the leading female official walked in front of Wang Yuanheng and bowed for a while, and immediately led Wang Yuanheng to the side and whispered, "The Empress Dowager invites the emperor and grandson to Tianyi Palace to speak."

'The entourage looked at the palace maid battle, and expected that she was the personal maid of an important person in the palace, and now they saw that she was so respectful to Wang Yuanheng, so they came to their senses, it turned out that this green forest hero was actually a relative of the emperor's country!

Wang Yuanheng didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, quickly straightened his clothes, and followed the palace maid into the palace. The palace maid led Wang Yuanheng without stopping in the palace, so she led Wang Yuanheng straight to the harem.

The two of them hurried all the way, and it took a long time for a cup of tea to stop in front of an imposing palace.

Wang Yuanheng subconsciously looked up, only to see that on a horizontal plaque in the middle of the first flying arch of the palace, the three big characters of 'Tianyi Palace' were written in regular script Zhou Zhouzheng.

"This is the Empress Dowager's bedroom," the palace maid reminded Wang Yuanheng. Before several guards outside the hall could stop them, the palace maid led Wang Yuanheng straight into the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Wang Yuanheng immediately felt a little surprised. I saw that the cloud top purlin in the hall is made of beams, the crystal jade is the lamp, the pearl is the curtain, and the gold is the pillar base; the six feet wide bed side hangs the silk treasure Luo tent, and the tent is embroidered with pearls and silver thread begonia flowers, and the wind is moving, like falling clouds and mountains and phantom seas.

The couch is set up with a green jade incense pillow, a soft silkworm ice blanket, and a jade belt is stacked. In the middle of the hall, there is a huge bright moon pearl shining brightly, like a bright moon.

The ground is paved with white jade, embedded with gold beads, chiseled into a lotus, the flowers become a five-stemmed lotus flower, the petals are fresh and exquisite, and even the stamens are delicate and recognizable.

Touch it with your hand, and you only feel warm. This is chiseled with the warm jade of Lantian, and the meaning of taking the lotus step by step.

The palace maid said softly. With such a poor worker, Wang Yuanheng never imagined that there was such a luxurious place in the world.

He was stunned. Just as he was hesitating, a group of pretty palace maids walked into the hall with a dressed lady.

As soon as the palace maid who was with Wang Yuanheng saw the noble lady, she immediately bowed down and bowed, 'The Empress Dowager Jin An, the slave maid brought His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun to you!'

Seeing this, Wang Yuanheng also hurriedly bowed down in the same way, "The old lady is above, the boy has saluted you!" "Not above the court, there is no need for so many courtesies" The lady said lightly, and stretched out her hand to help Wang Yuanheng up.

Wang Yuanheng looked at this noble lady again, and saw that she was tall, with a slender and white neck, and a green jade and plum blossom hairpin inlaid with rubies was obliquely inserted into her high bun.

Listening to the title of the palace maid just now, Wang Yuanheng knew that this person was the empress dowager. It is said that the age of the Empress Dowager should be at least 70 years old, but this woman is only about 50 years old.

I think it's because it's pampered and well-maintained. Wang Yuanheng said in his heart. At the moment of thinking, the Empress Dowager had carefully examined Wang Yuanheng up and down, then retreated from the others, and said to Wang Yuanheng, "Good grandson, how about walking with grandmother in the garden?"

The voice was extremely soft and full of love, and Wang Yuanheng was immediately enveloped by a spontaneous sense of happiness.

I didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and nodded vigorously in a hurry, "It's all up to your old man." The Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction, and immediately led Wang Yuanheng to a garden behind the palace.

I saw that there are strange flowers and plants all over here, which are very bright and beautiful. There are 16 more flowers and trees, each of them is tall and handsome; at the end of summer, the wind blows the flowers and falls, thousands of flowers, spread several layers on the ground, as far as the eye can see, like the beginning of the snow; it is very clear; a crimson palace in the distance is surrounded by a pool of clear water and looms in the trees, only the golden glazed tile roof is exposed.

Suddenly, there was a sound of 'Greeting the Queen Mother'. Wang Yuanheng followed the prestige, and saw several huge parrots on several tall osmanthus trees fluttering their wings at them, nodding their heads incessantly.

This is a cockatow, which is said to live for more than a hundred years, and it was raised by your great-grandmother, the Empress Dowager Du.

The Empress Dowager introduced. Wang Yuanheng hurriedly nodded as if he didn't understand. 'Go, go to the place where you were born.'

The Empress Dowager pointed to the palace in the jungle. Wang Yuanheng hurriedly helped her to the palace in the jungle.

As soon as I entered the palace, I found that my aunt, Princess Lu Guo, was already waiting here. Wang Yuanheng had no intention of looking at the extravagant decorations in the palace, remembered what the Empress Dowager said just now, and asked, 'Is this the place where I was born?'

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager immediately changed her expression and said, "That year, your father went out with the army, and my sister of the He family died early, and your mother showed signs of giving birth at this time; in desperation, I had to put my daughter-in-law into the palace to give birth."

After a pause, she asked Wang Yuanheng again, "Is your jade lock still there?" Wang Yuanheng took off the jade lock on his shin and offered it with both hands.

The Empress Dowager looked at it and said, 'There are nine of these locks, and the Emperor gave them to several children to wear; back then, when your father went on the expedition, he gave it to your mother, and when you were born, I and your grandfather put it on for you and sent your mother and son out of the palace.

As he spoke, he sighed and said, "I just didn't expect that this parting would be decades long." Then he looked awe-inspiring and said, "God, my old woman has waited for my grandson in this old age."
