Chapter 18 Incident
After marriage, Sun Wei coped with everything very well.
Compared to others, she even had it easier because other brides had to deal with uncles and aunts, but there were no uncles and aunts in the Prince of Yuzhang's mansion.
Sima Jun's mother was Princess Mu of Yuzhang, who passed away when he was eight. After that, although the old Yuzhang Prince Sima Liang had many concubines, he never took another concubine.
Two years ago, the old Prince of Yuzhang, through a charade, fell in love with the daughter of Lu Ming, a Yin-Yang master, and personally traveled to Cangwu to marry her. However, on his way back, he encountered a massive flood, and his boat capsized, killing both the old Prince of Yuzhang and his new wife.
Later, Sima Jun dismissed the old Prince Yuzhang's concubines, and he was the only master of the mansion.
The rules in the mansion were not strict, and Sun Wei quickly secured her position as mistress.
The eldest princess would occasionally invite her to her house to talk, and she responded calmly.
She knew what Sima Jun cared about, and every time she came back, she would tell Sima Jun everything they said and did, without missing a word.
On the contrary, Sima Jun didn't seem to have much interest in these things. After listening a few times, he was too lazy to listen anymore and told her to do as she pleased.
Sima Jun was very busy.
He was the governor of Jiangzhou and also the military commander of Jiangzhou. He often had to go to Jiangzhou in person to supervise the troops. Sometimes they would not see each other for a month or two, and sometimes for half a year. In total, excluding the time when Sima Jun was away on a long trip, their time together was not very long.
It was not difficult for Sun Wei to get along with him.
In front of Sima Jun, she tried her best to show the gentleness and obedience that a wife should have. Sima Jun also seemed to have no dissatisfaction with her, enjoying her service and leaving all the big and small matters in the family to her to handle.
With the support of the Prince of Yuzhang's palace, Sun Wei's father, younger brother, and cousin Sun Zhi all became officials in the imperial court. The whole family lived in a large mansion in Jiankang City, served by a large group of servants.
Sun Wei got all the wealth and glory he dreamed of.
She felt that everything she did was right.
However, Sima Jun did not value any members of the Sun family other than Sun Wei's family.
"The princess is still in contact with Sun Zhi?"
During the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year they got married, Sun Wei was checking the holiday gifts from various families. Sima Jun saw the one sent by Sun Zhi and asked this question.
Sun Wei said, "He is my cousin, and he has always been very caring towards me."
Sima Jun said, "This person has evil intentions. Princess, you should avoid associating with him in the future."
Something seemed to touch Sun Wei's heart.
She pretended to be confused and looked at Sima Jun in surprise: "Did Your Highness hear something bad?"
"He's making friends all over the court, and recently, he's become very close to the Wang family."
The Wang family he was referring to was the Taiyuan Wang family, to which Wang Yu belonged. Today, within the imperial court, the Wang family has become the most prominent aristocratic clan in the world.
Sun Wei knew Sun Zhi's temperament.
He was determined to climb the ladder, making friends and not enemies in the court. Since entering the court, he has been very popular and has been on the rise, which is undoubtedly due to the Wang family.
Sun Wei didn't think that Sun Zhi did anything wrong. After all, he and he were actually the same kind of people.
"I understand." Sun Wei replied humbly, "My cousin and I only exchange greetings during festivals and holidays. From now on, I will have less contact with him."
During that time, Sun Wei always felt happy.
When Sima Jun was away on a long trip, Sun Wei often missed him, and Sima Jun would write back from time to time.
She liked the word "my wife" in the letter the most. Whenever she saw it, her heart would be moved.
The empress dowager would occasionally summon her into the palace to ask about her offspring, and she would also call the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine for Sun Wei to regulate her body.
Sun Wei is a sensible person.
Although the old Prince of Yuzhang had many concubines, his health had deteriorated in his early years, leaving him with only Sima Jun. This burden now fell on Sun Wei, a weighty one. She took this matter very seriously, taking medication and taking care of herself, never slacking off. When Sima Jun was at home, their relationship was always harmonious.
Although there are both comfort and troubles, overall I am happy.
Until one thing happened.
Cui Mi is back.
