The context of the photo is given by Isabel Ingram's diary entry for June 11, 1924:
Went in at 10:30 as usual. Surprised the Emperor playing the piano in the Chien Hsiao Kung. The Empress was combing her hair. I watched the process. The Emperor came in and started to tickle her and was cutting up the whole day. It was suggested that my hair be combed Manchu style again. The Emperor agreed at once and sent for a photographer, also said he would dress Johnston up, too. The Emperor went over for him and brought him back to the Empress's palace before we were ready. They all watched the process. It took quite awhile -- making new parts, etc. Liu combed it again. I wore a light green gown with a lavender chin shih, which the Empress gave me afterwards. / more diary entries: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ken_mayer/albums/72157694027044410/
