The Emperor raised his eyebrows; it truly is a political marriage! It seems his earlier speculation was correct, but he wondered if the person on the other side had the same candidate in mind.
"This time at Dayan, Father has ordered me to bring Princess Ba Yu, the Eighth Princess. Ba Yu has long been fond of Dayan's culture and customs, and she yearns for it. If she can marry into Dayan this time, Ba Yu is willing to be the candidate for the marriage."
Ge Yuan directly mentioned the matter of Princess Ba Yu's marriage with Dayan, which made Gu Chengyu glance at him.
These matters are usually best settled privately first, much like the marriages between aristocratic families, where one sends people to probe first and only announces once an agreement is reached. If there isn't agreement, both families act like it never happened.
