The emperor has been a little more honest recently since he listened to the old eunuch's words. He sent people to watch every day and asked who in Qingzhou Prefecture had twins. Du Wanchun looked down at her growing belly and asked Aunt Wang, "Aunt, do I really have two babies in my belly?" Aunt Wang comforted her and smiled, "Wanchun, don't worry, it's still early, you'll know when the baby is born!" Du Wanchun stroked her belly gently and calculated that it was indeed early. It was only August now, and the baby in her belly was less than five months at most. But her belly was really much bigger than that of an ordinary woman, and it looked like six or seven months. Aunt Zhou came over with the steamed eggs, "Wanchun, don't be afraid, mom will be here when the time comes."

Aunt Wang also smiled and said, "Auntie will be here too."

Looking at their gentle smiles, Du Wanchun gradually felt relieved and nodded, "Yes."

Aunt Zhou quickly handed her the eggs, "Come on, eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Du Wanchun took it in her hand and started eating with a spoon.

Aunt Zhou's cooking skills are getting better and better, and the steamed eggs are very tender and refreshing.

She ate two large bowls in a row.

The baby in her belly seemed to be full and kicked his legs.

Aunt Zhou looked at the small bulge on her belly and smiled happily: "Look, my two good grandchildren like the dishes I cook."

Aunt Wang followed with a smile and said: "These two children are so active, they will definitely have a great future."

Aunt Zhou touched them carefully with her hand, "I don't ask these two children to be very capable, I just hope Wanchun can give birth smoothly. Speaking of it, having two children is much more tiring than having one."

She said with heartache in her eyes.

Du Wanchun bent her eyebrows and comforted her: "Mom, don't worry, I will be fine."

Although she said it with great confidence, Aunt Zhou was still worried. She thought about it and waited until night to find the third prince alone.

"Prince, Wanchun will give birth in a few months. She is pregnant with twins. I am a little worried." Aunt Zhou frowned slightly and said to the third prince with a worried look.

The Third Prince nodded slightly, "This is indeed a big deal. How about this, I send someone to the capital to fetch the imperial physician?"

Mrs. Zhou shook her head, "The Emperor is looking for us now, and this will only lead us into a trap."

The Third Prince frowned, and after a while he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Do you still remember the nanny who delivered you?"

Mrs. Zhou nodded, "I remember, but isn't she still in the palace?"

The Third Prince smiled and said, "Since you got into trouble, I brought her to the palace. The mansion, after another year, let her return home to live in retirement.

Auntie Zhou asked hurriedly: "Where is she now?"

The Third Prince thought for a while, "I remember her hometown is in a small village in Rong County."

Auntie Zhou suddenly realized, "I remember, it is indeed in Rong County, but Rong County is hundreds of kilometers away from our Cheng'an County, and it is not certain that we can find her if we want to."

The Third Prince stood up to comfort her and said: "Don't worry, I will send someone to check."

Auntie Zhou nodded.

The Third Prince then said, "I will go back to the capital in a few days. The Sun family's leg is almost healed, and it's time to take him back."

Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment. She had been eager for him to leave before, but now she heard that he was leaving, she felt a little reluctant, "Well, be careful on the road."

The Third Prince was particularly happy to hear her concern, and smiled, "Well, I know, and you and Ruiyuan should take care of yourselves. If you have any problems, go to Zheng Zhifu."

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one in Cheng'an County dares to bully our Zhou family anymore."

Since Mr. Sun was captured by Zheng Zhifu, Madam Liu changed her name and reconciled with Magistrate Li.

Now not only does Magistrate Zheng take care of them, but even Magistrate Li regards them as his saviors.

But even so, the Third Prince was still worried. Before he left, he left three or four guards to secretly guard near Changliu Village to ensure the safety of the Zhou family.

Three days later, as soon as the Third Prince left, Zhou Ruiyuan followed Prefect Zheng to Qingzhou Prefecture to participate in the provincial examination.

The provincial examination has always been held every three years. If you miss it this time, you will have to wait another three years.

Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun took a carriage together and personally sent Zhou Ruiyuan into the examination room.

The provincial examination is divided into three sessions.

Each session takes three days, and it takes about ten days and a half in total.

Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun rented two rooms in an inn in Qingzhou Prefecture.

After Zhou Ruiyuan entered the examination room, Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou went to the market.

The market was full of people and very lively.

Aunt Zhou saw two tiger-head hats in front of a shop and said, "Wanchun, does this look good? This child was born in winter, and this tiger-head hat is just right for him."

Du Wanchun came over, took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, and smiled, "Well, it does look good."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Zhou picked out two tiger-head hats and took them to the shopkeeper to pay for them.

Du Wanchun quickly stepped forward and took another tiger-head hat, "Mom, add another one."

Auntie Zhou looked at her and saw another tiger-head hat, and asked in confusion, "Wanchun, why did you buy three?"

Du Wanchun smiled and said, "It's better to buy more for backup."

Auntie Zhou listened and didn't doubt it, "That's right, buy more for backup, in case it gets dirty or wet, there is a replacement."

She paid the money without thinking.

Then she went to several shops and bought small shoes for dolls, rattles and other small toys.

Auntie Zhou bought three of them all.

At noon, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the largest restaurant in Qingzhou Prefecture.
