The one being led by the hand doesn't need to kneel, but the two behind him are those whom Kangxi had previously told them not to kneel.
"Get up, everyone."
Kangxi held Beibei's hand, and Harigana held the baby's hand. The whole family of four was dressed in red, which looked very festive.
The once bustling courtyard suddenly became quiet due to the arrival of the Emperor and Empress.
