She held Dahu and Erhu's hands while lazy Xiaohu was held in the eunuch's arms.
Xiaohu jumped down and pointed at the big and bright lights. "What is this?"
The Empress Dowager said kindly, "It's a long light."
Xiaohu only understood the light.
There were also lights at home, but they were not so big.
The Empress Dowager said to the three little ones, "Go and light one too."
The eunuch in charge brought three long lamps. Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu followed suit.
The Empress Dowager asked the eunuch in charge to set up a futon and said to the three little ones, "Come, kowtow to your grandfather."
The three little ones were confused and turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao not far away.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded slightly.
The three little ones kowtowed clumsily.
It was dark. It was time for the Empress Dowager to return to the palace.
The Empress Dowager couldn't bear to part with the three children and hugged them tightly.
