Chapter 167 The Prince Has Moved His Whole House Here
He was overjoyed to see Aunt Zhou greeting him at the door and laughed loudly, "Zhou'er, how did you know I was back?"
Aunt Zhou was startled and stopped laughing. "Your Highness, is that you?"
The Third Prince jumped down from the carriage. "I've been away from home for almost a month, so of course I have to come back and visit."
After saying that, he looked at Du Wanchun and asked, "How has Wanchun been lately?"
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "The child is very obedient, and with Granny Zhuang's care, his health has improved a lot."
The Third Prince was relieved and turned around to unload everything from the carriage.
The carriage didn't look very big, but it was loaded with four or five large boxes.
Aunt Zhou helped him carry them, asking, "What are all these things?"
As the Third Prince walked toward his home, he replied, "These are all things we need for the house. You and Wanchun can take a look later."
“Okay,” Aunt Zhou replied.
Du Wanchun followed behind them, also carrying a small box in her hand.
After everything was moved, the Third Prince took out the first box, opened it, and found it full of jewelry, including a very large gold lock.
The Third Prince rummaged through the contents and took out three gold locks, handing them to Du Wanchun, saying, "Wanchun, here, this is a child's."
Du Wanchun felt the weight in her hands. "Third Uncle, isn't such a big gold lock a bit too expensive?"
“It’s no trouble at all. These are all things that my father bestowed upon me in the past. I just brought them all with me.” The Third Prince said, and then took out three small silver locks from inside. “The gold lock was heavy. You can keep it for the children. These are the smaller ones. They can wear them after they are born.”
"Thank you, Third Uncle." Du Wanchun took the small silver lock in her hand and looked at it carefully. A row of small bells hung from the bottom of the small silver lock, which looked very delicate and cute.
Seeing that she liked it, the Third Prince was also happy. He then took out a pair of jade bracelets, seven or eight pearl chains, dozens of gold hairpins, and various hairpins inlaid with gemstones, as well as jade hairpins, white jade hairpins, gold hair ornaments, gold earrings, jade earrings, coral earrings, and so on from the box and handed them to Aunt Zhou. "Zhou'er, these are for you."
With that one grab, he emptied more than half the box.
When Aunt Zhou saw so many valuable items, she didn't dare to take them for a moment.
The Third Prince knew she wouldn't accept them directly, so he wrapped them all in cloth and put them into Aunt Zhou's room.
He then came over and gave the remaining half box to Du Wanchun.
The remaining jewelry consists of hairpins favored by young women in the capital today, and they appear to be in more vibrant colors.
Before Du Wanchun could react, the Third Prince opened another box, which was full of children's clothes.
The fabrics were all the finest silks used in the palace.
The Third Prince took out the items above and flipped through them, saying, "Ruiyuan's child is a legitimate imperial grandson, so he should use items 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 a tailor in the capital. I know you don't like anything too flashy, so I chose some simple and elegant fabrics."
Upon closer inspection, the clothes in Du Wanchun's chest were still made of silk, but the colors were mainly light green, light yellow, white, brownish-red, and cyan. They looked exquisite but not garish.
Then, the Third Prince took out a small box, opened it, and found it full of pastries and candied fruits. "These are pastries from famous pastry shops in the capital. Zhou'er, Wanchun, come and eat."
Before Aunt Zhou entered the palace, she loved the pastries from this shop.
The emperor had told her that if she liked the food, he would send it to the palace every day.
However, the emperor only persisted for a year before never sending anyone to deliver it again.
However, the Third Prince has always remembered her birthday, and he would send someone to deliver it to her every year.
However, Aunt Zhou didn't always receive them, because the emperor would often send people to intercept them.
Aunt Zhou handed a lotus-shaped pastry to Du Wanwanchun, saying, "Wanwanchun, try it. This pastry tastes excellent, even better than the ones we've had in Cheng'an County."
Du Wanchun took it, took a bite, and found it tasted quite good. She then picked up a piece and handed it to Aunt Zhou.
"Mom, you eat too."
Aunt Zhou stared at the lotus-shaped pastry in her hand, lost in thought.
Seeing that she hadn't eaten, the Third Prince quickly asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like it anymore?"
Aunt Zhou's eyes reddened slightly as she slowly said, "When I left the capital, I thought I would never be able to eat this again. I never expected to be able to hold it in my hands like this."
The Third Prince laughed and said, "Don't worry, from now on, you can eat whatever you want."
Aunt Zhou was taken aback and slowly looked up at him.
Just then, someone called from outside the door: "Mother, Wanchun, I'm back."
