When he saw Aunt Zhou coming to greet him at the door, he was overjoyed and laughed loudly: "Zhou'er, how did you know I'm back?"
Aunt Zhou was startled and stopped smiling, "Your Majesty, why is it you?"
The Third Prince jumped down from the carriage, "I've been away from home for almost a month, so naturally I want to come back for a visit."
After saying that, he looked at Du Wanchun and said, "How is Wanchun doing lately?"
Du Wanchun said with a smile: "The child is very obedient, and with Aunt Zhuang's care, his health has improved a lot."
The third prince felt relieved, turned around and moved everything out of the carriage.
The carriage didn't look big, but it contained four or five large boxes.
Aunt Zhou helped him move it together, "What are these?"
The third prince replied as he walked home: "They are all things we need at home. You and Wan Chun will come and take a look later."
"Okay." Aunt Zhou responded. ?.?????.ℂ??
Du Wanchun followed them, also holding a small box in his hand.
After everything was moved, the third prince took out the first box and opened it. It was full of jewelry, including a very large gold lock.
The third prince rummaged inside, took out three golden locks and handed them to Du Wanchun, saying: "Wanchun, come here, this one belongs to a child."
Du Wanchun held it heavily in his hand, "Uncle Third, will such a big gold lock cost a lot of money?"
"It doesn't cost any money. These are all things my father gave me as a reward. I just brought them here." The third prince said, and took out three small silver locks from inside. "The gold lock just now was heavy. You keep them for your children, these are small ones and they can be worn after they are born."
"Thank you, Third Uncle." Du Wanchun took the small silver lock in his hand and looked at it carefully. There was a row of small bells hanging under the small silver lock, which looked very delicate and cute.
The third prince was happy to see that she liked her, and then took out a pair of jade bracelets, seven or eight pearl chains, dozens of gold hairpins, various hairpins inlaid with precious stones, and emerald hairpins from the box. Hairpins, white jade hairpins, golden step shakes, gold earrings, jade earrings, coral earrings, etc. were all handed to Aunt Zhou, "Zhou'er, these are for you."
As soon as he took it, most of the box was empty.
When Aunt Zhou saw so many valuable things, she didn't dare to take them.
The third prince knew that she would not accept them directly, so he wrapped them all in cloth and put them into Aunt Zhou's room.
Then he came over and gave the remaining half of the box to Du Wanchun.
The remaining jewelry is all Zhu Chai, which is now popular among young women in the capital, and the color looks more colorful.
Du Wanchun took it in his hand. Before he could react, the third prince opened another box. This box was full of children's clothes.
The fabrics are all the finest silk used in the palace.
The third prince took out the above items and flipped through them and said, "Ruiyuan's child is a serious emperor's grandson, so he needs something from the palace."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and opened another box, which was full of women's clothes. "Zhou'er, Wanchun, these were custom-made by me at the tailor in the capital. I know you don't like to be too ostentatious, so I chose some simple and elegant fabrics."
Du Wanchun looked carefully at the clothes in the box. They were still silk, but the colors were mainly light green, light yellow, white, brown, red, and turquoise. They looked delicate but not eye-catching.
Then, the third prince took out another small box and opened it to see that it was full of pastries and candied fruits. "These are pastries from a famous pastry shop in the capital. Zhou'er, come and eat in the spring."
Aunt Zhou used to like this pastry when she was not in the palace.
At the beginning, the emperor told her that if she liked to eat, he would send someone to bring her to the palace every day.
However, the emperor only persisted for one year and never sent anyone to send him away again.
But the Third Prince has always remembered that every time it was her birthday, he would send someone to see her off.
However, Aunt Zhou could not receive it every time, because the emperor often sent someone to seize it.
Aunt Zhou took a piece of lotus cake and handed it to Du Wan and Wanchun, "Wanchun, try it. This cake tastes great. It's better than what we had in Cheng'an County."
Du Wanchun took it in his hand and took a bite. It tasted really good. Then he picked up a piece and handed it to Aunt Zhou.
"Mom, you eat too."
Aunt Zhou was slightly lost in thought as she looked at the lotus cake in her hand.
Seeing that she hadn't eaten, the Third Prince quickly said, "Why, you don't like it?"
Aunt Zhou's eyes turned slightly red and she said slowly: "When I left the capital, I thought I would never be able to eat it again, but I didn't expect that I could still hold it in my hand like this."
The third prince smiled and said: "Don't worry, from now on, you can eat whatever you want."
Aunt Zhou was startled when she heard this, and slowly raised her head to look at him.
At this time, someone outside the door called: "Mom, Wan Chun, I'm back."
