Chapter 246 Farewell
When Sun Wei first met Wang Xuanji, she knew she was the same type of person as herself. She was willing to try anything to achieve her goals.
Moreover, Wang Xuanji is probably more infatuated with Sima Jun than she was back then.
All she needed was an opportunity.
Sun Wei had carefully planned for this opportunity. The attendants in Tang Garden would disappear, allowing the two of them to be truly alone.
Unexpectedly, Sima Jun didn't seem to need to put in this effort.
After Wang Xuanji arrived, Sima Jun followed behind Sun Wei without any reluctance.
"Greetings, Prince." Wang Xuanji bowed to him and said softly.
Sima Jun looked at her and returned the greeting, "My Lady."
Such grace and elegance not only surprised Sun Wei, but also made Wang Xuanji shy with blushing cheeks.
There is a chrysanthemum garden in Tang Garden.
When the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, the fragrance is everywhere.
In the courtyard, there is an exquisite attic called Qin Pavilion.
There, hidden are the famous zithers collected by Prince Yuzhang during his lifetime. When he was alive, whenever the chrysanthemums in the chrysanthemum garden were in full bloom, he would invite famous teachers to play the zither in the zither pavilion, while he and his guests would enjoy the flowers and drink in the chrysanthemum garden, which was a great elegant event in the capital.
Today, Wang Xuanji is the only guest in the Chrysanthemum Garden.
Sun Wei pretended to be serious and accompanied her to admire the flowers.
Wang Xuanji was a knowledgeable and interesting person. He chatted with Sun Wei and agreed naturally.
"This flower is called Purple Jade." Sun Wei pointed at a large chrysanthemum and said, "This color is extremely rare. Apart from the palace, it can only be found in Tang Garden."
Wang Xuanji's eyes flickered as she chuckled, "It's indeed fragrant."
After saying that, she stole a glance at Sima Jun who was not far away.
Sun Wei looked at Sima Jun who was following several steps behind him, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be the one who was in the way.
Just as she was thinking about how to leave, she suddenly heard Sima Jun say, "Does your Highness like listening to the zither?"
Wang Xuanji was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Sir, I like it very much."
"Then I'll go play the piano," said Sima Jun.
Sun Wei was also stunned.
"Can the prince play the piano?" she asked.
Sima Jun glanced at her and seemed disdainful to answer.
Wang Xuanji hurriedly said, "Princess, you may not know this, but the Crown Prince learned to play the zither when he was young. When the late Emperor was still alive, he even played a piece at a palace banquet and was rewarded by the late Emperor."
This was the first time Sun Wei heard of this.
I see.
She looked at Sima Jun who was walking towards the Qin Pavilion and thought to herself that she was indeed an outsider.
The place where she played the zither was on the second floor of the zither pavilion. Bamboo curtains hung on all sides, and from the garden, only the graceful silhouette of a person could be seen.
Not long after, the sound of a piano came from the piano pavilion.
Wang Xuanji looked quite flattered and delighted.
"I haven't heard the prince play the zither since he joined the army." She placed her hand on her chest, seemingly absorbed in the listening. "I'm truly blessed."
It sounds so ugly.
Sun Wei smiled. She withdrew her gaze from the Qin Pavilion, took Wang Xuanji's hand, and looked at her: "I remembered something. I was supposed to go to Xianglu Temple to fulfill my vow today, but I almost forgot."
——
Aju had hired a carriage from the city for Sun Wei and parked it in an alley not far from Tangyuan.
Sun Wei went out of a small door, got in the carriage, and asked Aju to rush to the dock outside the south gate.
It's not far from here. Sun Wei estimated that he would be back in half an hour.
She had sent everyone in Tangyuan away early on, and no one knew where she had gone.
Sitting in the carriage, Sun Wei seemed to still hear the sound of the piano echoing in his ears.
Sun Wei didn't know what Wang Xuanji would do. However, Wang Xuanji was a smart person and must know what Sima Jun wanted.
Just like myself in my previous life.
I just hope she can really impress Sima Jun and make everything go smoothly.
In any case, no one had time to pay attention to her at the moment.
The dock today is no different from usual, with people coming and going, bustling with activity.
Ah Ru followed Sun Wei's instructions and parked the carriage under a tree. She asked Sun Wei, "You said you came out to relax, but you came to the pier to join in the fun?"
"Why not?" Sun Wei looked out from behind the curtain. "As long as I want to relax, it doesn't matter where I go."
Aju was about to speak when she suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the front.
I saw many people surrounding several horse-drawn carriages, which stopped not far away.
A'ru looked at him and said with surprise, "Is it Master Yu?"
Sun Wei didn't answer, but just looked over there. He saw Yu Yi getting off the carriage, and the people around him were very enthusiastic, rushing forward to watch.
Yu Yi's servants were obviously experienced. They blocked them like a human wall and prevented no one from approaching.
A'ru sighed, "It's really hard for Master Yu to go out. He doesn't feel comfortable anywhere. But what is he doing at the dock? Could he be here to meet the princess?"
"No." Sun Wei said, "He came to see someone off."
As they were talking, some people got off the carriage behind.
These are the family members that Sun Wei has been thinking about all the time.
The place where she was was slightly higher, allowing her to see her family members clearly among the crowd.
My heart is pounding.
My father, mother, and younger brother were exactly as I remembered them. My father was walking in front, and my mother was following behind, holding my younger brother, who was still a teenager.
Let’s go, Sun Wei thought, it can’t be like the previous life.
One day, I will come back to reunite with you.
The ship leaving Jiankang is just ahead.
Yu Yi walked the three of them to the boat.
Just as they were about to board the ship, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Uncle, please stay!"
Sun Wei stopped and realized that the person coming was actually Sun Zhi!
She opened her eyes wide, and Sun Wei had a bad premonition in her heart.
Sun Zhi caught up with Sun Nian and others, and said something to Sun Nian happily. Sun Nian also looked surprised.
Yu Yi's expression was still gentle, but Sun Wei could see that something had changed.
She couldn't hear what everyone was saying, but she finally saw that Sun Nian did not board the boat, but took his mother and brother back to the carriage and returned to the city.
Yu Yi looked in her direction, frowning. After a moment, he gave a few instructions to his attendants and also got in his carriage and left.
Aju was also confused.
"What's going on?" she asked. "What happened?"
Sun Wei felt a chill down his spine.
"Go to Yongfu Pavilion." She gritted her teeth.
Sun Wei knew that Yu Yi was thoughtful and would definitely give her an explanation.
Sure enough, not long after, she received Yu Yi's letter in Yongfu Pavilion.
The reason for what happened today was unbelievable to her.
Sun Rong actually arranged an official position for Sun Nian in Taichang.
Yu Yi apologized in the letter, saying that Sun Nian still wanted to be an official in the capital, but Yu Yi could not persuade him and could only let him go.
Sun Wei crumpled up the letter and felt suffocated.
She hated her father's stubbornness.
She knew that Yu Yi must have broken down the truth and explained it to him, but why didn't he listen?
But she hated Sun Zhi even more.
All this must have been Sun Zhi's idea.
Unexpectedly, after living a new life, she was still schemed by Sun Zhi.
Sun Wei breathed hard, and it took a while for her to calm down a little.
She knew that all the consequences of her past life could not be easily avoided in this life.
I was careless after all.
