Li Zhang accompanied Empress Dowager Li out of the inner house, and did not deliberately avoid others. Even the palace maids and eunuchs beside Empress Dowager Li followed him. However, when he arrived at the door of the yard where Lu Wu lived, Empress Dowager Li ordered everyone around him to wait outside, and then only she and Li Zhang entered the yard.

The yard where Lu Wu lives is not small. In fact, in order to facilitate martial arts practice, Lu Wu simply made his yard like a martial arts performance venue. The middle is paved with blue bricks and the surroundings are filled with weapons and racks. There are no other debris.

However, from when Lu Wu had someone demolished the blue bricks on the ground, leaving only a small path made of blue bricks. The other land was turned over and over, and the flowers and plants planted on it did not move much, but the weapons racks were hung with flower pots, and the flowers and plants inside were blooming in full bloom, and there were even butterflies flying among the flowers and plants.

When Li Zhang and Empress Dowager Li walked into the yard, they saw a figure with white hair and beards pruning flowers and plants with scissors in the yard. He had been away for so long. Although the flowers and plants in the yard were taken care of by his servants at home, they were not as careful as he was taking care of them himself. So he has been staying in the yard these days, mainly watering the flowers and plants, pulling weeds, pruning them, etc.

Lu Wu also heard footsteps at this time, and immediately looked up and saw Li Zhang and the others at a glance. However, his eyes did not focus on Li Zhang, but were all focused on Empress Dowager Li. His whole body suddenly became excited, and even his hands holding flower cuts trembled slightly.

When Empress Dowager Li saw Lu Wu, she also showed an excited expression, and even took a few steps to move forward, but then she seemed to think of something again, which slowed down again, and a restrained expression appeared on her face. Then she slowly came to Lu Wu and bowed solemnly: "I haven't seen each other for many years, how can Lu Yudai always be good?"

Lu Wu seemed to have restrained his excitement at this time, and immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look at Empress Dowager Li again. Then he also returned politely: "Lu Wu has met the Empress Dowager!"

"There is no need to be too polite to take Lu Yu!" Empress Dowager Li said hurriedly at this time. After saying that, she looked up and down carefully, and then she said with a look of a little, "Lu Yu takes you to get old, your hair is white."

When Lu Wu heard Empress Dowager Li's words, he also felt refreshed. Then he looked up at Empress Dowager Li, but he quickly lowered his head and said, "I am indeed old and can't even handle the knife, but the Empress Dowager's style remains the same as before."

As soon as Lu Wu said, Li Zhang immediately widened his eyes because it was the first time he heard Lu Wu praise a woman, and this woman was the queen mother of the current dynasty. Empress Dowager Li was actually in her forties this year, and in addition to being properly maintained in the palace in recent years, she still looked like a graceful woman, but she is indeed old. Not only did she have a few silver hair on her temples, but some fine lines also grow on the corners of her forehead and eyes, which is far from being compared with when she was young.

However, when Empress Dowager Li heard Lu Wu's praise, her face turned red, and she showed a little shy look like a girl, which surprised Li Zhang even more. In fact, he had some guesses, but these two were their elders, and he didn't dare to think too much, but now it seems that it's really similar to what he guessed.

"Well, Uncle Wu, my aunt finally came here. Why don't you sit down and have a tea and chat!" Seeing that Lu Wu and Empress Dowager Li seemed to be in a strange mood at this time, Li Zhang could only cough and interrupt the two of them.

"Yes, yes, Empress Dowager, please follow me to the hall and sit down. Go and make tea for the Empress Dowager!" Lu Wu immediately reacted and immediately instructed Li Zhang to work.

Seeing Lu Wu invite herself into the living room, Empress Dowager Li hesitated for a moment. Then she saw a set of tables and chairs under the sycamore tree in the yard, so she smiled and said, "The yard led by Lu Yu is very beautiful, so why not just sit under the tree!"

When Lu Wu heard this, he immediately understood what Empress Dowager Li meant and nodded immediately. So the two of them sat down under the tree. At this time, Li Zhang also brought out tea sets from the house, and then personally made tea for the two elders and eavesdropped on the way.

However, what disappointed Li Zhang was that although Lu Wu was quite excited after meeting Empress Dowager Li, there was nothing shameful about his conversation. Instead, he talked about his own situations, such as how good he was in his health, what he usually did, and occasionally talked about some of the past, but he was all over the place, and Li Zhang could not hear any useful news at all.

"Lu Yu takes you to like flowers and plants, too?" At this time, Empress Dowager Li suddenly looked around the entire yard and asked. Although there were many flowers and plants in the yard, it could be seen that they had been carefully taken care of, and they were no worse than the flowers and plants she took care of herself.

However, before Lu Wu could speak, Li Zhang next to him rushed to answer: "Uncle Wu has only started to like planting flowers and plants in the past two years, and he has also taken care of himself. However, because he went to Yanyun before, he could only be taken care of by me and the gardener at home."

As soon as Li Zhang said that, Lu Wu turned red and even glared at Li Zhang, then said to Empress Dowager Li: "This... is old and can't play tricks anymore, so he just planted some flowers and plants to cultivate one's own character, and maybe he can live a few more years."

When Empress Dowager Li heard Lu Wu's explanation, Empress Dowager Li just smiled slightly. Although she didn't say anything, her cheeks were a little pink. As a result, Lu Wu ignored the difference and stared at Empress Dowager Li without blinking, which made Li Zhang next to him sigh helplessly.

Lu Wu and Empress Dowager Li chatted for a long time, and Li Zhang was always with him. In fact, he knew that Empress Dowager Li called him to come mainly to avoid suspicion. After all, as the Empress Dowager, it was really inconvenient for her to see the man outside. Even though Lu Wu was already an old man now, she still had to avoid suspicion. For example, Empress Cao had reminded Li Zhang before and asked him to run to the palace less for no reason, but Li Zhang had no choice, because Zhao Zhen often summoned him, and Empress Dowager Li, so he was almost a regular visitor in the palace.

Finally, Empress Dowager Li stood up and said goodbye, and Lu Wu also personally saw her out. However, when she left, Empress Dowager Li seemed a little sad. After all, they were old and it was not convenient to meet each other. Maybe it would be a farewell today.

In the next few days, although Empress Dowager Li lived at Li Zhang's house, he never met Lu Wu again. Lu Wu stayed in the yard like before and did not come out, fiddling with his flowers and plants all day long. Li Zhang didn't know what to say about this. In fact, even if Lu Wu and Empress Dowager Li don't say it now, he could probably guess some of it, but luck made people feel bad.
