Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a handsome man leading a horse towards the gate of the county government office.

The man was wearing a dazzling red dress, with his long black hair hanging down behind him. It danced in the wind with his steps, showing his graceful and elegant beauty.

As the distance got closer, the man's captivatingly handsome face became clearer and clearer before everyone.

His sword-like eyebrows, like black ink, slanted into his temples, imposing him with an imposing bearing. His narrow, bright eyes, like those of a phoenix, shone with a sly and alluring glance. Beneath his high nose, his thin lips curled slightly upward, a faint smile playing at the corners. Every movement he made exuded a sense of laziness and casualness, yet exuded a fatal attraction that made it impossible to look away.

Moreover, the horse next to him was silver-white all over, with long golden mane fluttering in the wind, looking majestic and imposing.

The young woman holding the arm of the middle-aged woman was truly stunned by her beauty. However, what surprised her most was that this man was actually carrying a six-month-old belly?!

"Mom, he, he...his belly..." Gongsun Yuyao stared at the approaching handsome man in red in amazement, with undisguised shock and curiosity in her eyes.

"Yao'er, this is Laifeng Country, a country where women are respected. Here, it's perfectly normal for a man to get pregnant and give birth."

Ximen Qingshu gently patted her daughter's hand, reassuring her not to make a fuss about it. After all, they would be living here for a long time to come.

"Who are you? How dare you call me a dog?!" The little maidservant was obviously very angry with the man in red. She pouted her lips, opened her almond-shaped eyes wide, and glared at the newcomer.

"Hmph! A mere maid like you has no right to ask my name!" Han Yichen glanced coldly at Gongsun Yuyao's personal maid, his contempt evident in his words.

After Han Yichen finished speaking, he ignored the other party, let go of the reins of the Xiangyun horse in his hand, and then walked straight to the gate of the county government office.

He glanced at Ximen Qingshu and Gongsun Yuyao from the corner of his eye. After a moment's thought, he said to the two gatekeepers, "Ladies, I am the virtuous prince of the second rank, personally appointed by the current emperor. Please go and tell Her Highness the princess that her most beautiful, lovable, and handsome Third Brother Han has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, the two yamen runners who were guarding the gate looked at Han Yichen again. They saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, but was not arrogant. He spoke... politely (at least to them). Then they bowed to Han Yichen.

One of the yamen runners said, "This is an important area of ​​the yamen. Before I verify your identity, please wait for a moment. I will go and report to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." Her attitude was humble and polite. After she finished speaking, she pushed open the door, walked straight in, and headed towards the back yamen.

"It's okay." Han Yichen waved his hand nonchalantly.

It wasn't that Third Brother Han really had such a good temper. He was just deliberately trying to piss off the mother and daughter and the little girl, so he could show them what true bullying looked like...

"You, you...what do you mean by this? You're being so respectful to a man of unknown origin, yet you're blocking me and my wife from entering the door!"

Gongsun Yuyao angrily pointed at the yamen runner who was guarding the door, but the runner just held the spear tightly in his hand and didn't even bother to raise his eyelids to look at her.

At the same time, another gatekeeper arrived at the main entrance of the back hall. "Your Highness, a man has come claiming to be your most beautiful, lovable, and most handsome Third Brother Han. He also claims to be a Second Rank Crown Princess and Virtuous Lord personally appointed by the Emperor. Would you like to meet him?"

"Puff~"

Hua Qingcheng, who had just gotten up and was drinking water in her room, was amused by the official's solemn report. However, at first glance, those words definitely came from Han Yichen's mouth.

"Ahem, please let him in." After Hua Qingcheng took a breath, she smiled and said to the yamen runner outside the door.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Just as the yamen runner was about to turn and leave, she seemed to remember something and turned back to the doorway. She spoke seriously to the people inside, "Your Highness, there's a mother and daughter outside the county yamen gate claiming to be the wife and daughter of the county governor. However, their attitude is extremely arrogant, especially the unruly girl beside them. Do you want to see them?"

"Oh? So they were the ones who were making noise outside just now..." Hua Qingcheng glanced at Mu Lige who was about to help her change clothes, with a questioning look in her eyes.

"I guess it must be my aunt Ximen Qingshu and cousin Gongsun Yuyao." Mu Lige said thoughtfully.

Hearing Mu Lige say this, Hua Qingcheng immediately ordered the yamen runners at the door, "Please invite them to the front hall as well."

"Yes, Your Highness." The yamen runner received the order and left quickly.

In the main room, Hua Qingcheng glanced at Mu Lige playfully and said leisurely, "Su Mu Lige, your aunt and cousin are here, especially...your childhood sweetheart cousin who has come all the way here, why don't you go and see them?"

Mu Lige, who was tying Hua Qingcheng's belt, immediately put his arms around her slender waist upon hearing this and pulled the woman into his arms. Then, he leaned his head lightly on Hua Qingcheng's shoulder and said with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by childhood sweethearts? How come I don't know?"

"Although my uncle's family has a close relationship with us, even in Zhaoyang Country, men and women are separated and cannot sit together under the age of seven. Although Li Ge and cousin Yuyao have met many times in the past, they have never met privately, let alone have any romantic feelings for each other. Moreover... Li Ge came to Huaqiao Village at the age of twelve. At that time, Li Ge was just a young boy. What does he know about love?"
