The Emperor turned his head and asked Jin Zijin, "The Prince said he wants to personally investigate; what specifically does he want to investigate?"
Jin Zijin, with a gesture of respect, calmly said to the Emperor, "As a child of the Dao Family, perhaps we might allow the three young ladies to discuss, 'What is Tao?'"

This question was not only challenging for the girls, but even the Emperor and the Empress found it difficult.
Empress Dowager Chen completely failed to grasp what he was talking about.
By her later years, the Empress Dowager was a firm believer in the Tao, but at that moment, she too fell into contemplation.
According to the order of the tablets, Empress Dowager Chen first called Chen Qinglian forward to answer the question.
Chen Qinglian hesitated for a while, and with reluctance, said, "The Heavenly Master, the State Preceptor represents the Tao."
