"This distinguished guest has offered four thousand gold. Is there any other distinguished guest who would like to offer a higher price?"

Chen Heng's face was filled with joy that he could no longer conceal. Regardless of whether there was anyone willing to offer a higher price than four thousand gold, his harvest today could be said to be equal to the total harvest of his father's half-life's hard work.

As soon as Chen Heng finished speaking, everyone on the field subconsciously looked at the man in black, but the man in black had disappeared without a trace at some point.

There is no doubt that no one on the scene can offer a higher price than four thousand gold, and it is clear who will win.

Many people who wanted to curry favor with Chu Huanjun had already gathered in front of him to congratulate him, crowding the area tightly. Most of these people were tall and strong men, and Tao Yao was almost suffocated by them.

Chu Huanjun quickly held Tao Yao in his arms, swung his long arm, and the folding fan in his hand flew around the two of them like a meteor, dispersing 30% of the noisy people who came to curry favor with him, and finally cleared out an three-tenths space for Tao Yao to gain a foothold.

Seeing that the folding fan had leisurely returned to Chu Huanjun's hands, Tao Yao subconsciously leaned into Chu Huanjun's arms and hid in his cave like a little rabbit.

Fortunately, they are playing husband and wife today, so Tao Yao doesn't have to care about etiquette and reputation. It is natural for her to rely on Chu Huanjun.

Chu Huanjun seemed very pleased with her affectionate gesture. He smiled at her with great satisfaction, hugged her even tighter, and said softly, "Everyone, I have important matters to attend to today and have no time to chat with you. Please make way for me, okay?"

Some recognized Chu Huanjun as Prince Yi, but most knew him only as Chu Huanjun, not the daughter of General Zhenbei. Seeing Chu Huanjun cuddling a woman, they couldn't help but sneer, whispering to each other. Prince Yi was truly a playboy, always surrounded by confidantes wherever he went. And this particular girl, who knew from which brothel, was truly a truly elegant and refined beauty.

However, one should never judge a person by appearance. Although this woman was elegant and refined, she had undoubtedly resorted to some dirty tricks to climb to such a high position as Prince Yi. But even if she used these tricks, what good would it do? Ultimately, what she had gained was only a temporary pleasure, a fleeting relationship. Prince Yi would never truly be deeply in love with her...

Tao Yao was immediately furious, but due to Chu Huanjun's and her own status, she couldn't clarify anything. She could only blush and swallow her breath.

She tugged at Chu Huanjun's sleeve, her brows drooping, looking like a wounded little rabbit: "Xiao Chu, let's go quickly... These people are so annoying."

"Yeah." Chu Huanjun nodded, then raised his hand to rub Tao Yao's head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I made you feel wronged."

Tao Yao smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine, let's go."

Chu Huanjun's dark eyes suddenly spun around. He looked up and saw a beehive hanging from the big peach tree. Suddenly, a plan came to his mind. He leaned over and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't leave yet. I have something else to do."

Tao Yao was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Chu Huanjun handed Tao Yao the basket he had just used to purchase incense, picked up a few cakes with floral and fruity aromas, and whispered, "These are peach blossom scented cakes. Please help me take them and give some to these people. Do me a favor."

Tao Yao frowned and refused, "I don't want to. They just criticized me. I won't go."

Chu Huanjun gave her a strange look and a rare smirk: "Go ahead, Xiaotao is the best."

Tao Yao didn't know what he was up to, and she couldn't refuse, so she had to agree and took the cakes.

It just so happened that these people were stingy, so she put on a generous attitude and used these fragrant cakes to shut their mouths.

Tao Yao, carrying a basket filled with fragrant cakes, greeted those who had just criticized her with a bright smile. She handed out peach blossom fragrant cakes and said, "These are the fragrant cakes that the prince prepared for you. The prince has no time to chat with you today, but I hope we can chat again someday if the opportunity arises. Please accept these fragrant cakes."

When those people saw Tao Yao's generous and polite look, they couldn't help but look at each other. They suddenly realized that their remarks were very despicable. They felt a little ashamed and bowed to Tao Yao respectfully.

Seeing these people's expressions suddenly change like a storm, Tao Yao couldn't help but feel secretly happy in her heart - so this is what it feels like to be bullied by others, but her face remained calm, and she smiled gently, asked these people to bow, and stuffed the peach blossom cakes into their hands.

"I am just a nameless and insignificant little woman. You gentlemen don't need to be so polite to me."

Tao Yao smiled with a dagger hidden within her heart. She had said this deliberately, just to trick them. These businessmen were always adept at reading people's expressions. They immediately sensed the sarcasm in Tao Yao's words, and a layer of shame covered their faces.

After all this, seeing these people get humiliated, Tao Yao felt much better. She wasn't one to care too much, and besides, these people were ignorant, so why would she get angry at them? It was a complete waste of energy.

After delivering the fragrant cakes, Tao Yao turned back to look for Chu Huanjun, but he had disappeared without a trace.

Tao Yao was suddenly a little panicked and looked around, but she couldn't find Chu Huanjun anywhere. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice from above her head. Looking up, she found Chu Huanjun standing on the top of a large peach tree.

Tao Yao's eyes widened suddenly - at this moment, Chu Huanjun was wearing a gorgeous robe, standing tall and graceful in the peach blossoms, like a god descending from the sky, with a face as handsome as jade and a figure as graceful as a crane.

As the breeze passed by, the peach blossoms, as pale as rouge, swayed and spread out in the pure white sky. Chu Huanjun's fluttering sleeves were like the finishing touch of the painting, with the green mountains dotted with ink and the clear water like a mirror.

There is no other scenery like this in the world.

Tao Yao was slightly stunned, watching Chu Huanjun smiling at her gently, one hand holding a folding fan high up and waving at her, while the other hand was hidden in the peach blossoms.

Tao Yao rubbed her eyes and looked carefully at that place, only to be suddenly surprised to find that he was holding an extremely huge beehive in his other hand.
