Chapter 243 Beauty Training Class
Upon hearing this, Concubine Li, though curious about the formula for this "Ningzhi Jade Dew," was, after all, a veteran of the palace, well-versed in the ways of the world, and knowing that everyone has their own secrets, she didn't pursue the matter further. She smiled slightly, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes becoming more pronounced, but it couldn't conceal the admiration in her voice: "Dean Cen, the 'Ningzhi Jade Dew' you've developed is truly amazing! I've lived for most of my life and have seen all sorts of rare treasures, but this is the first time I've seen something this magical!"
Seeing that Li Shang Gong no longer questioned the recipe, Cen Jiexiao breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled slightly and said modestly, "You're too kind, Li Shang Gong. While this 'Ningzhi Yulu' has some miraculous effects on skin care, it requires consistent use to achieve the best results."
"Of course, of course," Li Shanggong nodded repeatedly, as if fully agreeing with Cen Jiexiao's statement. Her delicate fingers, painted with bright red nail polish, gently stroked the porcelain vase in her hands, her eyes filled with an expression of reluctance to let go. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she quickly looked up and asked, "Director Cen, do you have any more of this 'Ningzhi Yulu'? I'm thinking..." She paused briefly, as if she was struggling to find the words.
Seeing this, Cen Jiexiao immediately understood what she meant. She smiled slightly and calmly pulled out another identical, exquisite porcelain vase from her sleeve. She handed it to Li Shanggong and said, "Don't worry, Li Shanggong. I still have some of this 'Ningzhi Yulu' in stock. If you like it, please feel free to take it."
Upon seeing this, Li Shanggong was overjoyed. She quickly reached out to take the porcelain bottle and put it in her arms, her movements so cautious, as if she was afraid that Cen Jiexiao would change her mind. She smiled so hard that the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes seemed to stretch out. The look she gave Cen Jiexiao became much more friendly, as if Cen Jiexiao was a junior worth getting close to.
"Thank you very much, Dean Cen!" Li Shanggong's voice was full of gratitude, and the look she gave Cen Jiexiao was more sincere.
Seeing Li Shanggong so happy, Cen Jiexiao secretly laughed in her heart. It seems that women in ancient times are no different from women in modern times. They cannot escape the word "love of beauty"!
Li Shanggong stayed in Zhaoyin Academy for a whole afternoon, experiencing various beauty courses and asking Cen Jiexiao for a lot of beauty knowledge, ranging from how to care for the skin to how to apply exquisite makeup.
Cen Jiexiao also explained to her very patiently and answered her questions. Her serious and careful attitude made it impossible for Li Shanggong to say the difficult words she had prepared, and her hostility towards Cen Jiexiao also subsided a little.
"President Cen, you are truly an extraordinary woman!" Before leaving, Li Shanggong couldn't help but sigh, "This palace has broadened its horizons today!"
Cen Jiexiao smiled and sent Li Shanggong away, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It seemed that Li Shanggong was not a difficult character. As long as she catered to her preferences, she could easily resolve her hostility.
However, Cen Jiexiao didn't know that although Li Shanggong was friendly to her on the surface, she still harbored resentment towards her in her heart, and even secretly harbored an even more vicious plan...
After Cen Jiexiao sent Li Shanggong away, the smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a thoughtful expression.
"Miss, do you think that Lady Li was really bribed by your 'Ningzhi Yulu'?" Yu Lan asked as she tidied up the bottles and jars on the table.
"Humph, bribery? How can it be that easy?" Cen Jiexiao sneered, "It's just a temporary stabilization of her. The women in the harem are so fickle. One day they may treat you like a sister, and the next day they may turn against you and be ruthless."
Xiaozhi was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Then Miss, will you still give her the 'Ningzhi Yulu'? What if she..."
"What are you afraid of? I'm the only one who knows the formula for this 'Ningzhi Yulu'. Someone as vain as her will eventually become dependent on it."
A sly smile appeared on Cen Jiexiao's lips. "It will be interesting when Li Shanggong uses it."
"Miss, will Lady Li really come to us after using her for a while?" Xiaozhi frowned slightly, as if she didn't quite understand what her young lady was up to. She hesitated to speak, wanting to get things clear.
Seeing her worried look, Cen Jiexiao couldn't help but chuckle: "You girl, you just love to worry. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." As she said that, she gently patted Xiaozhi's hand, indicating that she should be at ease.
"But..." Xiaozhi wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Cen Jiexiao.
"Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. Go and call a few girls selected from our medical class. I have something to tell them." Cen Jiexiao ordered, with a tone of unquestionable determination.
"Okay!" Although Xiaozhi was still a little confused, she responded obediently and turned to walk out the door. She walked briskly across the yard, came to a wing room, and knocked gently on the door.
"Come in." A soft voice came from inside the room.
Xiaozhi pushed the door open and saw more than a dozen female students sitting in the room. They were sitting around a round table that was filled with various bottles and jars. The air was filled with a faint fragrance.
"Dear students, the dean asks you to go to the front hall. Follow me," Xiaozhi said softly to the women in the room.
"But is there anything you want us to do?" A woman in a goose yellow dress asked curiously. Her name was Chun Yao, and she was the youngest among the group of female students. She was lively by nature, and her bright eyes were always full of curiosity.
"This... I'm not too sure. The dean just said that he had something to tell the students." Xiaozhi shook his head, indicating that he was not clear about the specific situation.
"In that case, let's go quickly and don't waste the dean's precious time." A woman in a light blue dress stood up and said gently. She was the oldest among the group of female students. She was just eighteen years old this year. Her name was Qiuju. She had a calm temperament and was quite like an elder sister.
The other girls also stood up and followed Qiuju out of the room. Seeing this, Xiaozhi hurried forward to lead the way, and the group walked towards the front hall in a mighty manner.
Soon, they arrived at the front hall and saw Sister Cen Xiao sitting at the table. The table was filled with a variety of bottles and jars. These bottles and jars were of different sizes and shapes, and they were filled with various brightly colored liquids or pastes, which looked very exquisite.
"Now that you're here, please take a seat." Sister Cen Xiao greeted them with a smile upon seeing them enter. After everyone was seated, she pointed at the bottles and jars on the table and slowly said, "I called you here today because I have an important mission for you."
These women were always very curious about the new gadgets that Cen Jiexiao had developed, and now seeing her being so serious, they all pricked up their ears, afraid to miss a single word. They all looked at Cen Jiexiao eagerly, waiting for her next words.
