Sun Luban 孫魯班

Lady Bu, consort of Sun Quan, Lord of Wu, won his favour by her beauty and was foremost in the inner palace, and she bore two daughters. The elder was Luban, courtesy name Dahu, who was first married to Zhou Xun, the son of Zhou Yu, and later to Quan Cong. The younger, Luyu, courtesy name Xiaohu, was first married to Zhu Ju and later to Liu Zuan (劉纂). The Biography of Quan Cong records that in the 1st year of Huanglong (229) Quan Cong was promoted to General of the Guards, Left Protector of the Army and Governor of Xu Province, and married the princess.

After Lady Bu died, Sun He, the son of Lady Wang, became Crown Prince, and Sun Quan intended to make Lady Wang empress. But Princess Quan had long hated Lady Wang and slandered her little by little. When Sun Quan lay ill, Sun He offered sacrifices at the ancestral temple and stopped by the house of Zhang Xiu, his consort's uncle, who lived nearby; Princess Quan had someone spy on him and then said that the Crown Prince was not at the temple but had gone straight to his consort's family to lay plans. She also said that Lady Wang had looked pleased when she saw the sovereign's illness. Sun Quan was angered by this, Lady Wang died of grief, and Sun Quan's favour toward Sun He gradually waned.

The biography of Lady Zhu, consort of Sun Xiu, records that when Sun He was Crown Prince, Princess Quan slandered and harmed Lady Wang and sought to depose the Crown Prince and set up the Prince of Lu, but Princess Zhu would not go along with her, and so a rift arose between the two princesses. As the ambitions of Sun Ba, Prince of Lu, grew ever greater, slanders from his faction arose day after day, and Sun Quan finally confined Sun He and then moved him to Guzhang.

Sun Liang was Sun Quan's youngest son. Princess Quan, uneasy at heart because she had once slandered the Crown Prince Sun He and his mother, sought to rely on Sun Quan's inclination and secure a connection for herself in advance, and she repeatedly praised Quan Shang's daughter and urged that she be taken as consort for Sun Liang. Quan Shang's daughter was a child whom Princess Quan, her grand-aunt, doted on and always took along whenever she went to the palace for an audience. When Sun He was deposed in the 13th year of Chiwu (250), Sun Quan made Sun Liang Crown Prince and Lady Quan his consort. Records, Wu 3 §2Records, Wu 5 §28

When Sun Liang took the throne, Sun Jun assisted in the government. Sun Jun had always fawned on and served Princess Quan, and Princess Quan, who was at odds with Sun He's mother, urged Sun Jun to move Sun He to live at Xindu and to send an envoy to order him to die, and Sun He's principal consort, Lady Zhang, also took her own life. When Sun Jun seized sole control of the government, the imperial clan all feared him, but because Quan Shang's wife was Sun Jun's elder sister, Princess Quan alone enjoyed his protection. The Biography of Sun Jun records that Sun Jun debauched the palace women and had an illicit relationship with the princess Sun Luban. Records, Wu 5 §35 · 31Records, Wu 19 §73

In the 2nd year of Wufeng (255), the general Sun Yi (孫儀) and others tried to kill Sun Jun by taking advantage of a gathering held for an envoy from Shu, but the plot leaked and they killed themselves. Princess Quan seized on this to say that Princess Zhu had plotted together with Sun Yi, and Sun Jun unjustly killed Princess Zhu. The Biography of Sun Jun records that several dozen people died over this affair, and that it extended even to the princess Sun Luyu. Records, Wu 5 §32Records, Wu 19 §75

In the Taiping era, Sun Liang learned that Princess Zhu had been harmed by Princess Quan and asked her why Princess Zhu had died. Princess Quan, frightened, said, 'I truly do not know. It was all reported by Zhu Ju's two sons, Zhu Xiong and Zhu Sun,' and Sun Liang killed Zhu Xiong and Zhu Sun. The Biography of Zhu Ju records that the two sons both died after being slandered by Princess Quan, and the biography of Sun Chen records that Sun Liang looked into how Sun Luyu came to be killed, rebuked the two for failing to restrain Sun Jun, and had Ding Feng kill them.

As Sun Liang began to handle the government in person and raised many questions, Sun Chen grew afraid and stayed away from court on the pretext of illness, and when Sun Chen came in to remonstrate, Sun Liang would not listen. Sun Liang at last discussed killing Sun Chen with the princess Sun Luban, the Minister of Ceremonies Quan Shang and the general Liu Cheng. Sun Liang's consort, the daughter of Sun Chen's cousin, told Sun Chen of the plot, and in the 9th month of the 3rd year of Taiping (258) Sun Chen led his men in a night attack on Quan Shang, killed Liu Cheng, surrounded the palace and deposed Sun Liang as Prince of Kuaiji. In the letter he sent when welcoming Sun Xiu, Sun Chen said, 'The killing of the Lesser Princess in the past was originally contrived by the Elder Princess, yet the emperor did not look closely into the matter again and at once killed Zhu Xiong and Zhu Sun.' Sun Chen sent Sun Liang to his fief, moved Quan Shang to Lingling, and moved the princess to Yuzhang. What happened to her afterwards and her death do not appear in Chen Shou's main text.
