The Empress saw them too and smiled along, favoring both her grandson and granddaughter equally.
"This palace will take Taotao out to play," said the Empress, and then she carried Taotao out the door.
For a moment, only Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei were left in the room.
Xiao Jinyan said, "Father and Mother are very fond of Taotao and Susu."
"It's perfectly normal to like Taotao and Susu since they are so adorable," said Shen Chuwei, who hadn't expected to adore the two little treasures herself as much as she did.
Xiao Jinyan took her hand and said, "This palace will take you to look at the East Palace account books and the records of social interactions and dealings."
"Why look at those?" Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan, puzzled. She was thinking of lying down to eat some cherries, with so many of them around, she had to eat more while they were fresh.
