Bai Ruozhu said with a light smile, "For a woman, if her body is well-regulated, her complexion will improve, and with a good complexion, she can become beautiful. It's like the clients who frequently visit my Beauty Pavilion. If they only take care of their skin superficially and their health is poor inside, they will still have a sallow complexion and won't achieve a fair and radiant appearance."
Toward the end of her speech, she deliberately hinted, "After all, when others look at a woman, they first notice her face."
Lady Lü lowered her head. Although Western mirrors were rare at the time, some concubines of status in the Palace still had them, differing only in size. The Western mirror gave a clear reflection, so Lady Lü had already seen the difference between herself and the beautiful Madame Xu before.
