Although Chen Furong invited many noble ladies today, because she has been staying in the frontier for many years, and because of her easygoing nature and unremarkable appearance, many noble ladies in the capital do not give her any face.

Therefore, few of the invited guests today were from noble families; most of them were young ladies from humble backgrounds who wanted to curry favor with the general's family.

When Wu Weiwei arrived at the General's Mansion, all the young ladies had already gathered in the garden.

"Sister Weiwei, why didn't you let me know you were coming?"

"Hurry, hurry, we're all waiting for you!"

Upon seeing her arrive, Chen Furong waved to her.

These past few days, she has been using the beauty cream that Wu Weiwei sent her, and she has found that her skin has become much smoother, and her maidservant said that her skin has also become whiter.

This hibiscus cream is so effective, how come she had never heard of it before?

The noble ladies had just been listening to Chen Furong talk about the beauty cream, and they were all quite surprised to hear that it was a gift from Wu Weiwei.

Now, when they hear the two chatting again, they all perk up their ears.

"I've kept my junior sister waiting."

I ran into a tricky situation when I went out, so I rushed over as soon as I finished dealing with it.

"What's wrong? Do you need my help?"

Chen Furong said enthusiastically.

Chen Furong didn't mind being addressed as Wu Weiwei; on the contrary, she felt a sense of warmth towards her.

This shows that her senior often mentions himself in front of her, which means he values ​​her.

Chen Furong never belittled herself because she was not good-looking.

But there are plenty of people in the capital with higher official positions than his father.

She knew in her heart that those arrogant noble ladies often made fun of her appearance and her involvement in the affairs of Prince Min behind her back, and even described her as a shrew.

For example, none of the noble ladies she had invited to the camellia party she hosted today came.

But so what.

Her father often told her that having one true friend in life is enough.

People who like her won't refuse to date her because of her appearance.

She thought her senior brother's concubine was quite nice.

Hearing that she had returned, they kindly brought her some beauty cream.

Unlike others who refused to associate with her because she was not good-looking, Wu Weiwei kindly hoped that she would become beautiful.

Isn't this the kind of confidant my father talked about?

If Wu Weiwei knew what Chen Furong was thinking, she would probably be overjoyed.

After all, the reason she had Lingfu deliver the beauty cream to Chen Furong that day was entirely to help herself out of a predicament.

However, after getting to know Chen Furong, Wu Weiwei felt that she was indeed quite good.

Making a powerful friend, who might even become a close confidante of a female general, is a sure way to benefit oneself.

Chen Furong's enthusiasm made Wu Weiwei's lowered eyes flicker.

She looked at Chen Furong and said softly:

"It's nothing serious. The servants just did a bad job and I just punished them."

Hearing that it wasn't a big deal, Chen Furong didn't ask any more questions.

After Wu Weiwei took her seat, Chen Furong had tea served.

"Try this, it's made from green mountain wax apple tea picked from the top of Mount Everest, the highest peak in the Northern Sea."

The flowers are picked and dried as soon as they bloom, and in Beiming, only royalty can afford to drink it. It is said to have beauty benefits comparable to the finest bird's nest.

Everyone looked at the fragrant tea in the cup, which, after brewing, resembled a flower, and they were all very curious.

Several of the ladies took a sip.

"Wow, it smells wonderful and tastes delicious."

"Hmm, it has a delicate fragrance and a pure taste; it's really good."

"But is this Green Mountain Wax Apple Tea really more effective than bird's nest? Miss Chen is actually willing to let us taste something so precious; it's truly worth my trip today."

The speaker was Zeng Qing, the second daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

She didn't actually want to come today.

But she was asked by her best friend to see what kind of trouble Chen Furong was up to this time; otherwise, she would never have come.

Hearing Zeng Qing's praise, everyone picked up their cups.

Chen Furong looked at Wu Weiwei, signaling her to give it a try.

Wu Weiwei had only heard of Tianshan snow lotus, but she had never heard of Qingshan lotus apple.

Out of curiosity, she took a sniff.

The aroma of tea was faint and elusive, like a thin mist in the mountains, delicate and lingering.

She picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

"How is it? Delicious, isn't it?"

Chen Furong couldn't help but ask.

"The white porcelain is as white as snow, and the fragrance of foam is like the nectar of the immortals."

One drink washes away drowsiness, and a feeling of clarity and joy fills the world.

Wu Weiwei recited a few classic lines from the poem "Drinking Tea and Mocking Cui Shi, the Prefect" by the Tang Dynasty poet Jiao Ran, to praise the lingering fragrance of the tea.

"What a fine poem! I never knew Aunt Wu was such a talented woman."

It was just a cup of tea, but unexpectedly, Wu Weiwei actually composed a poem on the spot.

Chen Rong, the daughter of the Imperial Academy Chancellor who was sitting next to Zeng Qing, stood up and praised him.

Wu Weiwei looked up at her and saw a quiet young woman in a moon-white dress looking at her with surprise.

She smiled and nodded at her.

Chen Furong didn't know how to compose poetry, but hearing Chen Rong's praise of Wu Weiwei, she thought it must be because her confidante was so capable.

So he took the lead and stood up to applaud.

Seeing that Chen Furong, the hostess, had stood up, the other ladies also began to applaud.

Wu Weiwei's face turned slightly red.

However, it wasn't out of joy, but rather out of shame.

She's not that good at writing poetry; she just borrowed lines from ancient poems.

But they don't know that, so they might as well consider themselves talented women.

Because of this incident, the ladies all grew closer to Wu Weiwei, except for Zeng Qing, who looked down on her.

After Chen Furong's introduction, everyone became curious about the beauty cream that Wu Weiwei had given them.

Wu Weiwei looked at everyone.

She smiled and said, "It's not really a secret."

However, because I pay attention to skincare, my personal nanny specially formulated this whitening and moisturizing beauty cream for me.

If you're interested, I'll have my nanny make more when I get back, and then my maid will deliver them to you."

"really?"

"Then thank you very much, Miss Wu."

"I never expected Sister Wu to be such an easy person to get along with. In the future, when I host a banquet at my residence, may I send you an invitation?"

A shy-looking girl glanced timidly at Wu Weiwei and made a bashful invitation.

"Xie Ningxin, your face is covered in pimples. This beauty cream can't cure your face, can it?"

Zeng Qing stepped forward, seemingly offering well-intentioned advice.

Xie Ningxin?

The name sounds familiar.

Wu Weiwei turned her head and saw a girl wearing a bright green dress with a face full of pimples.

Xie Ningxin seemed not to believe Zeng Qing, and looked at Wu Weiwei with a hopeful expression.

"Sister Wu, can your beauty cream cure the pimples on my face?"

She had been troubled by the pimples on her face for a long time, and even her aunt, the Empress Dowager, sent many imperial physicians to her residence to treat her.

But over the years, they have only grown more and more numerous.

Her face was covered in acne, making her so self-conscious that she was afraid to go out.

Seeing Wu Weiwei in a daze, Chen Furong nudged her.

Reminded by Chen Furong, Wu Weiwei finally came to her senses.

"You are the eldest daughter of the Duke of Xie's family, aren't you?"
