皇上駕到

We spend our evenings... not reading books, not playing with ipads, but watching these Chinese old dynasty soap operas.  After some episodes, Kayla said, "爸爸，下次姊姊（herself) 說，＂皇上駕到＂，你們可不可以開門讓我進來？“ ("Daddy, next time Kayla says- 'the emperor is here'- can you guys open the door and let me come in?")

It may mean nothing to you, but I am obsessed with their cartoonish drawings.
