It turned out that there was a deeper meaning behind the tree locations. The first location was Empress Dowager’s childhood hometown. All of the memories of her mother remained there. The second location was her maternal grandparents’ place where Empress Dowager went to live after the death of her mother. There, she met Gaozu Emperor who was on his excursion to the south. Henceforth, their fates have been tied for a lifetime. The third location was where she accompanied Gaozu Emperor as his step Empress to Mt Tai offering sacrifices to the ancestral mausoleum. It was also Gaozu Emperor’s last toured place.
