Jia Huian smiles and says, "Husband, knowing that you still have unmarried friends, I am quite interested in meeting them. After all, I still have 3 unmarried maidservants. Isn't that right, Chunhua?"

Hai Chunhua smiles and says, "Sister-in-law is right... Your Highness, make sure that both of them will attend our wedding."

Fourth Prince Rong Yingming and General Hai Bojing look at each other before the latter look away and looks at his beloved wife. Fourth Prince Rong Yingming smirks and thought that General Hai Bojing has definitely pushed everything for him to handle. When he looks at Hai Chunhua, she is still staring at him as if waiting for him to answer her.

"Chunhua, this prince will try his very best to make sure that both Vice General You Zheren and Strategist Hai Ling will attend our wedding. But, that will only happen by the end of next year."

Hai Chunhua smiles and nods her head in reply. Jia Huian too smiles before she says, "By that time, the Western Region will soon be at peace..."

General Hai Bojing immediately turns his head to look at his wife with questioning gaze before he looks at Forth Prince Rong Yingming who is obviously staring at Jia Huian too.

"Young Madam Jia is being quite positive, Bojing. It seems that your wife did not want you to be in the Western Region for a long period of time. This prince feels slightly jealous now... Chunhua, will you miss this prince is he is not beside you?"

Hai Chunhua chuckles and says, "Why? If you are not here... You are in your residence. If you are not there, there is a high chance that you might be in the imperial palace. All of which still within the imperial city."

Both General Hai Bojing and Jia Huian laugh upon seeing the disbelief on Fourth Prince Rong Yingming's face after hearing what had just been said by Hai Chunhua.

"Chunhua... You are so unromantic. Luckily, you are quite passionate... Ouch!!!"

Jia Huian smiles as she gently says, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. Huian accidentally knocks over the teacup. Husband, look at me... I am quite clumsy."

"Nonsense... It is the teacup's fault for being in your way. Not yours."

"Bojing, are being crazy? This prince might suffer a burn here. Ouch! Chunhua, be gentle... You are hurting this prince."

Hai Chunhua checks on his hand that has become slightly red due to the hot tea spill before she says, "Caolan, take a bowl of cold water and a small towel. Get the medicine for minor burn as well."

"Ouch... Ouch..."

Hai Chunhua turns her head to glare at Fourth Prince Rong Yingming, "Shut it, Your Highness. It is just a minor burn. For someone who has been on the battlefield more than once, this kind of injury is nothing."

Fourth Prince Rong Yingming turns his head to glare at General Hai Bojing who pretends to look elsewhere.

Jia Huian chuckles before she says, "Chunhua, any man will appear weak in front of his beloved. Be gentle with His Highness... There is no harm to treat the one we love with tender, love and care. Isn't that right, Bojing?"

General Hai Bojing turns his head to look at his wife as he nods in reply, "Huian is right. Chunhua, though His Highness is similar in age as I am, he is quite immature. You have to be gentle towards him as he is very sensitive."

Fourth Prince Rong Yingming nearly lashes out at General Hai Bojing but he stops himself before he winks at the other man, "Chunhua... This prince might be acting in a lackadaisical way most of the times but I am not. Trust me that I will not fails you."
