The Fourth Prince followed his gaze nonchalantly, without giving it much thought.

"Uncle Fourth Prince, tonight set a banquet at the traveling palace; make sure this affair is grand."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I shall comply."
Prince Zhan was long accustomed to being overlooked.
As long as the Fourth Prince was present, his role as the Assistant Minister seemed merely ceremonial.
The Emperor rarely looked his way, let alone entrusted him with tasks.
