Chapter 17: Newly Married
Sun Wei felt like everything was just like a dream.
Even when she got home, she still felt weak all over, as if she was walking on clouds.
When her family saw her coming back soaking wet, they thought something had happened to her and hurriedly changed her clothes to keep her warm.
Sun Wei just sat in front of the mirror, looking at herself who looked like a drowned rat.
Her whole body was a mess, except for her eyes, which were unusually bright against her red cheeks.
——"Why did your Highness agree?"
She remembered that she had asked this question foolishly.
——"Because you are right. For me, you are indeed the best choice."
My heart is still pounding.
Sun Wei didn't dare to hope that Sima Jun would confess his love for her, as was often the case in stories about talented scholars and beautiful women. The nobles, when choosing a spouse, always considered the pros and cons more carefully than ordinary people.
As Sun Wei herself said, their backgrounds were more than a world of difference. For a man like Sima Jun to be willing to marry her was already a supreme honor.
On this day, the entire Sun family was alarmed.
Because the carriage that brought Sun Wei back was from the Prince of Yuzhang's Palace, and Cao Song, the Right Attendant of the Palace, led the way personally.
"It's raining heavily, and your granddaughter is soaked. Your Highness is very worried, so he ordered me to escort her back." Cao Song said to Sun Wei's parents who came to greet them. "Your Highness is worried that your granddaughter might catch a cold and get sick, so he has sent for the imperial physician, who will be here shortly."
Sun Wei's parents were flattered and agreed immediately.
That day, the mistress of the family, Feng, arrived. She changed her usual dismissive demeanor and became quite warm and friendly, asking about Sun Wei's well-being. She also said that Sun Nian's family's house was too small, and asked for a separate courtyard to be built so that Sun Nian and his family could move out of the servants' yard.
"I know what the eldest branch is thinking." That night, Mother Li sighed to Sun Wei, "I heard their maids discussing outside the courtyard today. They said that with your status, even if you marry the Prince of Yuzhang, you can only be a concubine, not a princess. But even if you are a concubine, you are still a member of the Prince of Yuzhang's mansion, so the eldest lady has to come in person to show her goodwill."
After that, she looked at Sun Wei and said, "Tell mother honestly, is Prince Yuzhang really interested in you?"
Sun smiled and said, "What they think is none of our business. Mother doesn't need to accept their gifts. We will move out soon."
That night was probably the most sound sleep Sun Wei had had since arriving in the capital.
In her dream, she had been in the heavy rain. Sima Jun stood before her, the faint light of the rain illuminating half of his face. Water droplets rolled down his handsome features, his strong jawline and piercing black eyes being particularly clear.
Sima Jun's actions were indeed efficient and effective.
On the second day, someone from the palace came to propose marriage to Sun Wei's father.
Three months later, Sun Wei got her wish and married Sima Jun, becoming the Princess of Yuzhang.
This incident shocked the entire capital.
On her wedding day, Sun Wei wore the most magnificent attire she could never dream of wearing. When she stood before everyone, her family members looked at her and wept with joy.
My father said with emotion that their branch finally had a way out.
Her mother held her hand and recited words of instruction, asking her to serve her husband respectfully in the future and bring glory to the royal family.
When Sima Jun was welcoming the bride, he was dressed in formal attire and looked as handsome as a god in a painting. Wherever he went, everyone was amazed.
Surrounded by the crowd, Sun Wei stood in the hall and looked at him, with the same dignified smile on her face as the noble families in the capital.
She knew that at this point, she had finally fulfilled her grandfather's words and became a dragon among men.
