Bai Zhizhan didn't react at first, mainly because the Holy Emperor had changed into casual wear.
Dragon Robe?
That item had been in the museum for a long time, even during the ceremonial occasions of ancestor worship, the attire worn was the Liangxia ceremonial dress initiated by Emperor Shiwu.
The abolition of the Dragon Robe, which had been passed down for two thousand years, actually marked the beginning of the secularization of the Imperial Family.
