Taotao and Susu, upon hearing this, kicked their legs in excitement, slid off the Emperor's lap, and each grabbed a sleeve of his clothing to pull him outside.
"Grandfather Emperor, let's go find Mommy together."
The Emperor decided to hold the hands of the two little ones instead. Though they were just over two years old, they were very clever and already knew to lure him with treats.
Having promised the babies an outing from the palace, a gentleman's word is his bond, and no horses could chase him away. It would serve as a nice break from the palace.
However, he could not wear the Dragon Robe outside the palace; he had to change his clothes.
After changing, the Emperor took the two toddlers out of the palace in a horse carriage.
Dabai and Chu Lingfeng watched as the horse carriage slowly disappeared from view, both looking quite downcast.
