Chapter 26 Is this really a stopgap measure?

Chen Yi left the palace with a lot of doubts.

He still had not fully understood what Wu Zetian wanted Murong Qing and Murong Ping to enter the Tao for the Tao. At least he could not judge whether this woman decided so much for his own good or for further punishment for him. At least he could not make a judgment immediately after he knew about this. Letting Murong Qing and Murong Ping enter the Tao for the Tao, and letting them give birth to children in their wombs. These two things seemed to be contradictory. At least in Chen Yi's understanding, letting the two sisters enter the Tao was to break up the marriage between him and them, so that the two sisters could not marry him as their wife. But allowing them to give birth to children in their wombs seemed to be not the same, which was quite puzzling!

Also, what Wu Zetian said, letting him come out to do things was obviously a sign of goodwill, but Wu Zetian only planned to restore his position as the chief military weapon supervisor. Others, including the Minister of War, the Prince's Right Guard, did not mention the recovery, and did not say that he would continue to be responsible for the construction of the military academy. Is this clearly a disguised punishment? Chen Yi felt that his head was a little too short!

With a lot of depression, Chen Yi locked himself in the house, lay on the couch and pillowed his arms to think about things, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out the reason for the matter. Finally, he thought of what Wu Zetian had said. She had exchanged views with Princess Honghua and Murong Nuo Hobo on this issue. She suddenly had an idea, got up immediately, and took a few followers to Princess Honghua's mansion like flying.

Just a moment after letting the servants of the Princess's Mansion go in and report, Chen Yi was taken into the mansion. Princess Honghua and Murong Nuo Hebo received him in the front hall.

After a few polite words, Chen Yi immediately explained his purpose directly: "Princess, Princess, Prince Qinghai, I am here to visit today. I have something important to discuss with you!"

"Does Mr. Chen want to talk to me and the prince about the two little girls?" Princess Honghua, who was not surprised, immediately responded and said in a calm tone: "I believe the Empress also told the young master that she had let Qing'er and peacefully enter the temple as the Tao. I don't know what the young master thinks about this?"

The directness of Princess Honghua's speech and calmness made Chen Yi a little surprised. But at the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Depending on the situation, he didn't need to spend too much time explaining this matter. Wu Zetian had discussed this matter with Princess Honghua and Murong Nuo Hobo. The couple must have discussed this matter privately. There should be a result and no longer went around. They directly asked: "Since the Empress also talked about this matter with the Princess and the Prince. Then I won't say anything empirically. Today, the Empress summoned Xia to the palace and also talked about it. She wanted the two Murong ladies to enter the temple to make them clear and quiet and raise the fetus. Even if they gave birth to a child, they would not be known. Everything will be left to this period of time, and they will talk about it when their sisters gave birth to a child! I wonder what the princess and the prince think about this matter?"

Chen Yi tried his best to remain respectful as he spoke, hoping that Princess Honghua and Murong Nuo Hobo would understand that he would maintain enough respect in this matter. He hoped to listen to their opinions more.

Princess Honghua and Murong Nuo Hobo looked at each other, and did not immediately say what they thought, but asked Chen Yi back: "Young Master Chen, we want to know, how do you view the Queen's proposal?"

Chen Yi looked at Princess Honghua, then looked at Murong Nuo's robe. After seeing that there was no strange expression on the couple's faces, he shook his head and said, "Princess, Princess, I do not agree with the Queen's proposal. I think this arrangement is really inappropriate. How can pregnant Qing'er and Ping'er enter the temple as the way? I believe that the princess and the Prince of Qinghai also think so?"

Princess Honghua and Murong Nuo Hebo looked at each other, and their faces were full of illiquid expressions. In the end, Murong Nuo Hebo answered: "Mr. Chen and the princess think what the Empress said is quite appropriate. After thinking about it, we didn't think of a more suitable way. We thought it was still what the Empress thought. On that day, we agreed to let Qing'er and Ping'er enter the temple as the Tao, and we will talk about the rest later!"

"Ah?!" Chen Yi exclaimed softly, and looked at Murong Nuo Hebo and Princess Honghua in disbelief. He was a little confused about why the parents actually agreed to arrange their precious daughter like this.

Before Chen Yi could ask out his doubts, Princess Honghua took the words of Murong Nuo's bowl and explained: "Mr. Chen, the empress told us that she promised to let Qing'er and Ping'er follow you in the future, but now that the King of Huaiyang has just passed away, it is really inconvenient to hold a marriage. Moreover, your wife, Mrs. Wei, the brother of Duke Zhou, did not agree to let you marry Qing'er and Ping'er now, and the empress did not want to cause more trouble at this time, so there was such a temporary solution. Let Qing'er and Ping'er give birth to the child in her belly first, and then resolve the rest of the matter later. The empress promised us that all the names will be made up!"

"What did the Empress really say that?" Chen Yi couldn't help but wonder why Wu Zetian didn't say such words when she told him? Is there a lot behind the Lord that he didn't know? Otherwise, as parents, Murong Nuo Hobo and Princess Honghua would not be able to humiliate their daughters like this, so that they could not live without a reputation. In this era when fame is more important than anything else, if the news of Murong Qing and Murong Ping's unmarried husband spread, not only the reputation of the two sisters would be destroyed, but also Princess Honghua and Murong Nuo Hobo would also lose their reputation. Of course, Chen Yi was the same.

Chen Yi guessed it was really right. There was really a hidden story behind this matter, but he didn't know it.

A few days ago, when Wu Zetian summoned Princess Honghua and Murong Nuo Hobo to the palace to talk about this, she directly explained the meaning to the couple, that is, she decided to let Murong Qing and Murong Ping enter the temple as Taoist, enjoy the tranquility in the Taoist temple, and avoid being disturbed by the world. When she said this decision, she had promised many to Princess Honghua and Murong Nuo Hobo, and the glory she deserved would not be less, and she also gave many arrangements that Princess Honghua and Murong Nuo Hobo and his wife had never thought of, which made the couple overjoyed.

In this era, the status of each family's daughter is far from comparable to that of her son. The future of the underage son was promised by Wu Zetian, so that Princess Honghua and Murong Nuo's mother would immediately change her mind. In order for the descendants of the family to continue their glory and make some sacrifices, it is nothing wrong to let them make them feel wronged. Besides, Wu Zetian also agreed. This is just a temporary solution. After a few years, she will definitely give Murong Qing and Murong Ping a name, and will not let them give birth to children for Chen Yi inexplicably.
