From Chu You's standpoint, if this marriage was successful, it meant that Chu Yi would receive support from the State of Yue.
Fortunately, Chu Yi rejected her.
It seemed like Chu Yi liked Gu Yanfei more than expected.
Alright!
It was a good opportunity for the civil and military officials of the court and the commoners of the world to see how Chu Yi was unwilling to marry into the State of Yue for his own selfish reasons.
Chu You explained the pros and cons to Gu Yunrong in detail. Finally, he said, "Once the matter blows up, if His Majesty wants to appease the dissatisfaction of the court, he has no choice but to give in."
Chu You would never let Chu Yi marry the Princess of the State of Yue. Therefore…
"The best outcome would be for His Majesty to choose a noble lady from the aristocratic families to be his official consort."
"Unless Chu Yi doesn't want the country for a beauty."
Chu You smiled mockingly.
