Chapter 152: Are they really twins?
In order to avoid being discovered by Consort Wu and her family, the emperor specially changed his clothes and set off with only a few bodyguards acting as doubles.
They rode at breakneck speed, traveling several times faster than usual towards Qingzhou Prefecture.
Located in Changliu Village, Qingzhou Prefecture.
Aunt Zhou's spikenard pills sold for a high price in less than ten days.
She took the silver and approached Du Wanchun. "Wanchun, now that we have more and more silver, why don't we buy some more land?"
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Mother, of course we can. We can grow our own spices."
Aunt Zhou nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, we should grow more spices and expand our incense shop."
As she spoke, she looked up and around the house, "Let's build another new house while we're at it. Once your baby is born, this house will probably be too small."
Du Wanchun looked down at her belly and said, "It's quite big. After the baby is born, it will sleep in the same room as us."
Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "What if there are two children? Then we'll need another room."
At this moment, Aunt Wang walked in and said, "That's right, having two more rooms won't hurt, and Wan Chun's belly looks so big, maybe there are twins inside."
Aunt Zhou nodded in complete agreement.
Du Wanchun didn't have a belly at first, but as her pregnancy progressed, her belly grew bigger and bigger than usual for the same month.
Aunt Wang had a sudden inspiration: "Why don't we let Doctor Xu take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou immediately stood up and said, "Yes, let Doctor Xu come and take a look!"
Aunt Wang smiled so much her eyes narrowed into slits. "Alright, I'll go call Doctor Xu over right now."
Aunt Zhou followed behind her, saying, "Then thank you very much, Sister Wang."
Aunt Wang is very kind-hearted. During her time at the Zhou family's house, she had already come to regard Du Wanchun as her own daughter and doted on her dearly.
Not long after, she invited Dr. Xu over.
At first, Dr. Xu thought it was because Du Wanchun's pregnancy was not going well, and he was startled. However, when he heard from Aunt Wang that it was to check on the pregnancy, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and followed with a smile.
Du Wanchun came to the door and welcomed them in, saying, "Dr. Xu, thank you for making this trip."
Like Aunt Wang, Dr. Xu also liked Du Wanchun very much and would often come here. "It's no trouble at all. Come, let me take your pulse."
Du Wanchun sat down and handed him her hand.
Doctor Xu took her pulse, and after a while, he exclaimed with delight, "Wanchun, this is twins!"
"Twins?" Aunt Zhou asked in surprise.
Dr. Xu grinned from ear to ear, "Yes, twins, maybe even a boy and a girl."
Aunt Zhou was overjoyed and quickly took Du Wanchun's hand, saying with a smile, "That's wonderful!"
Du Wanchun was also very happy to hear this, her face full of smiles.
Doctor Xu stood up and said to Aunt Zhou, "Old Zhou, you'd better throw a big feast for this!"
Aunt Zhou smiled so much her eyes almost turned red, "Alright, when Wan Chunsheng comes, I'll invite the whole village to our Zhou family's feast."
Doctor Xu replied, "It's settled then!"
As he spoke, he stroked a bit of his beard and continued with a smile, "If this child is born, I will teach him my medical skills."
Aunt Wang joked, "Don't bother showing off your mediocre medical skills!"
Doctor Xu wasn't angry. He said meaningfully, "You really think I only have some rudimentary medical skills? There are some things I don't pass on to outsiders."
As he spoke, he looked at Du Wanchun and said, "I just don't know if Wanchun is willing to learn?"
Du Wanchun poured each of them a cup of tea. "Of course I'm willing. As long as the children are willing to learn, I'm willing to do anything."
Dr. Xu was overjoyed to hear this.
While the Zhou family was chatting and laughing about Du Wanchun's two unborn children, dozens of kilometers away in Changshan Village...
The emperor tumbled off the carriage and ran towards a farmhouse, calling out, "Empress! Empress!"
Inside the farmhouse sat a woman sewing, her back to the door.
Without a second thought, the emperor strode forward and embraced the woman tightly. "Empress, I've finally found you."
The woman was startled and struggled.
Seeing her resist, the emperor hugged her tighter and tighter. "Empress, I was wrong. I've come to find you. Come back with me!"
The woman continued to struggle, and occasionally stomped on his feet.
Despite the pain, the emperor held her tightly and continued, "Empress, stop making a fuss. No matter what, we are husband and wife. Come back with me now!"
