    "I have important matters to attend to, so I will not bother you, Your Highness. I will take my leave first." Huo Zheng's attitude was neither hot nor cold. He bowed slightly to Jun Yuqi, turned around and left without looking back.

    Jun Yuqi looked at Huo Zheng's back with cold eyes. He had only been on the battlefield a few times and made a few contributions, but he didn't take him seriously. Now that the battle for the throne is becoming clear, the throne will be in his pocket sooner or later. The first thing he will do after ascending the throne is to take back the military power in Huo Zheng's hands!

    Although he was quite dissatisfied with Huo Zheng in his heart, now was not the time to compete with him secretly. He must find a way to win Huo Zheng over to his camp.

    With this plan in mind, Jun Yuqi held a snow-viewing banquet in Yanjing, in one of his own gardens in the west of the city. This snow-viewing banquet was held with great fanfare, and almost all the dignitaries in the capital were invited.

    Jun Yuqi knew that even if the invitation was sent to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Huo Zheng might not necessarily show up, but he had a plan. He took Jun Yan with him under the pretext of leaving the palace to relax, and then asked Emperor Chengzhao to order Huo Zheng to lead people to maintain order at the Snow Viewing Banquet on the grounds of worrying about the safety of the imperial sister.

    If it was an ordinary banquet, Emperor Chengzhao would definitely not agree to Jun Yuqi's unreasonable request, but he was really worried about Jun Yan's safety, so he agreed. As for the Fourth Prince's little calculations, he simply turned a blind eye and pretended not to see them.

    On that day, the nobles in the capital gathered for the Snow Viewing Banquet. After all, it was the Fourth Prince's cordial invitation. Now Jun Yuqi was in the limelight, and no one would risk offending the Fourth Prince and refuse to attend the banquet.

    Moreover, although the Fourth Prince was over 20 years old, he had not yet married, and many noble families were thinking about sending their daughters to Jun Yuqi.

    Many carriages and horses were parked at the entrance of the Snow Appreciation Garden. Those who were invited were all from the Yanjing aristocracy, and their status was noble and could not afford to make mistakes. Huo Zheng arranged for the imperial guards to protect the entire Snow Appreciation Garden tightly.

    The Yu Mansion was also invited, but Yu Tao was ordered to maintain the safety and order of the Snow Appreciation Banquet, so Yu Tao could not attend the banquet as a girl.

    Among the guests at the banquet, the most important one was the Princess of Qin. If it weren't for Jun Yan, the guards of the Snow Appreciation Garden today would not be so strict.

    Yu Tao knew the importance of Jun Yan, but she was unwilling to let Huo Zheng protect the princess closely, so she volunteered: "I will be responsible for the guards on the princess' side. I will definitely protect the princess." Anyway,

    Huo Zheng also refused the marriage, so he should not oppose her opinion.

    Yu Tao thought so confidently, but who knew that Huo Zheng shook his head without thinking and said: "No, there are many guests today, and accidents can happen at any time. The more cautious you are at this time, the more you have to be cautious. You are responsible for the guests in the front yard, and I will protect His Highness personally."

    How could Huo Zheng leave His Highness's safety to others?

    "But..." Yu Tao frowned, not understanding what Huo Zheng was thinking. Didn't he refuse the marriage arranged by His Majesty? Why did he now look so serious about Jun Yan?

    Yu Tao's mind was full of thoughts, but this was Huo Zheng's private matter after all. She couldn't ask too much, so she could only obey his orders with a lot of doubts in her heart.

    The carriage of the Princess of Qin arrived late when the snow-viewing banquet was about to begin. The carriage was as gorgeous as ever, and it caught people's attention as soon as it appeared. It was also unique in Yanjing, where the powerful and noble gathered.

    Jun Yan got off the carriage with Fei Bai's hand. The girl was wearing a silver fox cloak, and a circle of snow-white fur gathered around her neck, which made her calm face even more graceful. When

    the people present saw the princess coming, they all knelt down and saluted, shouting in unison, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness, may Her Royal Highness live a thousand years--"

    "Stand up." The girl's voice was clear and moving, with a majesty that could not be ignored.
