Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

After lifting the car curtain, the two of them got out of the car holding hands.

Today, they were posing as a wealthy couple—most of the vendors at the incense tasting event didn't know Chu Huanjun. Chu Huanjun didn't want to be too conspicuous, and before leaving, he specifically instructed Chen Heng not to reveal his identity.

The incense tasting event was held in Taohuawu, a truly exquisite venue. The winding stream, narrow paths through the deep forest, and waterside pavilions and flower terraces all evoked natural beauty, while within this beauty, small stands selling incense were scattered throughout the venue.

Tao Yao took Chu Huanjun's arm as they took a quick look at the various incense offerings. Being surrounded by beautiful scenery, enjoying both the view and the incense fair, even Tao Yao couldn't help but praise Chen Heng's thoughtful design. The guests would surely be in a good mood enjoying the scenery, and a good mood would naturally increase their desire to buy things, so there was no need to worry about the incense at the fair not being able to sell out.

Chu Huanjun smiled gently, tapped Tao Yao on the head with his folding fan, and said angrily, "Why are you still speaking for Chen Heng? He just cheated me out of 600 gold. Do you know that 600 gold is enough to keep me happy for several months?"

Tao Yao crossed her arms and retorted coquettishly, "One thing is one thing, but if he's smart at business, that's worth praising... Look, he made money from you, doesn't that just prove he's good at business? Xiao Chu, you're a businessman too. You can't just see other people's shortcomings. You should also look at their strengths and learn from them."

Chu Huanjun rolled his eyes disdainfully and spat, "I don't make money from doing business. I do business for..."

Tao Yao suddenly grabbed Chu Huanjun's arm, tiptoed closer, and tapped his lips with her index finger, telling him to stop talking. She smiled sweetly and said, "That's wrong. In life, having multiple paths always makes life easier. You don't understand it now, but when you're older, you'll understand the importance of having multiple ways to make money. In my opinion, you should just take good care of your business affairs, and you'll definitely live a more comfortable and smooth life for the rest of your life."

Chu Huanjun smiled, held her fingers in his backhand, placed them on his lips and kissed them, then interrupted her, saying, "Nonsense. How old are you? How dare you lecture me in the tone of an elder?"

Tao Yao smiled slyly, grabbed a piece of incense cake from the incense viewing table nearby, and said coquettishly: "Husband, I want this, buy it for me!"

The call of "husband" really made Chu Huanjun feel refreshed. He clapped his hands and slammed his bulging purse on the incense table, ready to start the drama of spending a fortune to win the beauty's smile.

The vendor on the incense viewing platform glanced at the two people in front of him and immediately noticed the shiny gold hairpin on Tao Yao's hair and the glittering robe on Chu Huanjun.

Most business people are very lenient with each other, even when it comes to asking prices. The vendor instantly removed the price list he had just placed on the counter, smiled politely at the two men, and then offered a staggering price.

Tao Yao didn't want to be accommodating to these vendors. She quickly threw the fragrant cake in her hand back and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, your prices are really scary."

Chu Huanjun cooperated by hugging Tao Yao's waist and echoed, "Madam is so kind. She knows how to save money for her husband."

Tao Yao smiled coquettishly and retorted, "I'm not trying to save money for you. It's just that this money needs to be spent wisely. If you want to buy something, you need to buy genuine, good things at a reasonable price. If you buy a bunch of fancy stuff just for the sake of face, that's stupid behavior. These businessmen specifically look for fools to cheat them out of their money."

Tao Yao paused as she spoke, turned around to look at Chu Huanjun, and then burst into a hearty laugh: "Xiao Chu, I think you look like a big fool."

"Oh?" Chu Huanjun's expression shifted slightly. He looked at Tao Yao with some confusion and asked, "Am I a fool? Haven't you always said that I'm a sinister and cunning old fox? Why do you think I'm stupid now?"

Tao Yao was stunned, and suddenly didn't know how to answer him, so she could only argue: "You are stupid, a big fool."

Chu Huanjun also laughed, scratched her nose with his finger, and said softly: "Then you are a little fool."

The two of them wandered aimlessly for a long time, and the incense in Chu Huanjun's small basket gradually grew larger. Tao Yao suddenly regretted having Chu Huanjun spend six hundred gold on the Jade Chan Incense. There were obviously more interesting incense at the incense tasting conference, cheaper and more fragrant, and no less delicious than the six hundred gold Jade Chan Incense.

But Chu Huanjun didn't care much about it, because he was rich.

Tao Yao is different. She is used to being poor. She lives frugally and even haggles over how much rice to have with her pickled vegetables. Now she has suddenly transitioned to being a rich wife who spends money like water with her husband. She is definitely not used to it.

So every time Tao Yao saw a fragrance she liked, her first reaction was to check the price list, but Chu Huanjun didn't even bother to look at it, he just grabbed the item and threw it into his basket.

"I really can't understand the world of you rich people." Tao Yao watched with eager eyes as Chu Huanjun threw out the gold in his purse piece by piece. Although it wasn't her money, she felt a little heartbroken watching Chu Huanjun spend it like water. So, she asked Chu Huanjun in a negotiating tone, "Shouldn't we also save some money and save some for food?"

Chu Huanjun immediately looked at Tao Yao with a strange expression, as if he had just heard something that he couldn't understand. He said in confusion, "That's just a small amount of money, and you're already worried about food? ... Don't worry, I have enough money, you can spend it as much as you want."

Tao Yao's smiling face couldn't help but be shrouded in a layer of embarrassment. It was true that her spiritual level was not on the same level as that of the rich.

A high platform was set up in the center of Taohuawu for the incense tasting conference. It is said that this year's incense tasting conference is different from previous years. In addition to incense, a number of rare treasures will be auctioned at the conference.

People were discussing this batch of treasures, but no one knew their origins. It was only said that they were left behind by some nobles in the Western Regions and then drifted to the Central Plains. Each of these treasures was a rare and precious item, and one of the rarest to exist in the world today.

Scarcity makes things valuable, so collectors naturally drive up the prices of these treasures to sky-high levels, so as to demonstrate their financial resources and give these treasures a higher value.

Tao Yao listened to these rumors and asked Chu Huanjun curiously, "Xiao Chu, how did the Chen family collect treasures from the Western Regions? Have they ever done this kind of business before?"
