The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Li Muxia has been here for three days. During these three days, she pretended to have amnesia and learned a lot of information from the two little girls, and also accepted the fact that she had transmigrated. She also realized that she had transmigrated into the body of a fat man with the same name as herself. She also gained some understanding of the current world.

This place was originally a country unrecorded in history. The world was divided into three major powers, each checking and balancing the others, resulting in a peaceful world. These three major powers were the Eastern Kingdom, the Dragon Soaring Kingdom, and the Southern Mausoleum Kingdom. Around each of these kingdoms were smaller tribes that paid tribute to their vassal states every year, and they had maintained peaceful relations for many years.

Li Muxia lives in the Eastern Kingdom, which is located in the east. The Eastern Kingdom is the royal surname of the country. Since the current emperor ascended the throne, he has governed the country well, and the country is peaceful and prosperous. He is loved by all the people. The emperor has six sons and four princesses. Among them, three are princes, and the other princes are too young to be granted titles. Two of the three princesses are still unmarried, while one of them married into the Longteng Kingdom and the other married into the Nanling Kingdom.

Li Muxia is the granddaughter of the Great General of the Eastern Kingdom. When Li Muxia's father was escorting the current emperor to the Huguo Temple to pray for blessings, he was killed by assassins while protecting the emperor. At that time, her mother was pregnant with Li Muxia and was about to give birth. After learning that Li Muxia's father had been killed, she went into premature labor, which resulted in a difficult childbirth. She passed away after giving birth to Li Muxia.

Li Muxia's mother was once the most talented and beautiful woman in the Eastern Kingdom, and her death was a great loss to many.

The current emperor, recognizing Li Muxia's father's merit in protecting him and Li Muxia's pitiful state—orphaned at birth—bestowed upon her in marriage to the current second prince. Unfortunately, Li Muxia herself proved unworthy, relying on her status as the granddaughter of a national general to commit many tyrannical acts. As a result, the royal family broke off the engagement, and she tragically died from suffocation caused by a bone. How pitiful!

As Li Muxia was processing the information she had received from the two maids, Cui'er came in and, seeing her mistress lost in thought, reminded her, "Miss, dinner's ready!"

Li Muxia got out of bed and followed Cui'er to the dining table. Looking at the table full of fish and meat, she frowned involuntarily. She said to Hong'er and Cui'er, who were still serving dishes, "Cui'er, stop busying yourself. Go get some paper and pen. Hong'er, take all of this away. I don't want to eat this!"

Cui'er looked at her young mistress in surprise and said, "Miss, but these dishes don't suit your taste. The kitchen made them according to your usual preferences."

Afraid of revealing her secret by saying too much, Li Muxia made up an excuse, saying, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I've just recovered from a serious illness and it's not suitable for me to eat such greasy food. Didn't Doctor Wang also tell me to eat as lightly as possible these few days? So for my health, please take these away quickly."

After listening to what the young lady said, Xiao Hong and Cui'er both felt that what the young lady said made sense, so they did as the young lady said.

Cui'er obediently took the paper and pen, preparing to write down every word her mistress had said. But as soon as she placed the paper on the table, Li Muxia took it from her, saying "Thank you."

Cui'er and Hong'er looked at their young mistress in surprise. Cui'er thought to herself: The young mistress used to hate things like writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones the most. The master also hired a tutor to come to the mansion to teach the young master and young mistress to read, but after the age of ten, the young mistress stopped studying seriously. Every time she went to class, she would tell Cui'er to listen carefully. She herself had long since lost her mind. Even the homework was done by Cui'er.

As a result, she became the worst student in the school. In the end, the young lady didn't learn anything, but the maids who served her learned a lot. Before, whenever there was something to write, it was the young lady, Nian Cui'er, who would write it. Why is she so eager to take the paper and pen now?

Although Hong'er was very surprised, she still watched her mistress's actions, because her mistress had changed a lot since she woke up last time, and she blamed all of these changes on her mistress's amnesia.

Looking at the calligraphy brush in her hand, Li Muxia thought of her grandfather in modern times. Her grandfather was a literature professor at a university, specializing in classical Chinese literature and history. So Li Muxia grew up immersed in these classical Chinese texts and history.

Li Muxia had no parents since she was a child. She had asked her grandfather many times, but each time he said he would tell her after she went to college. However, just after Li Muxia finished her college entrance examination, the hospital called to say that her grandfather had passed away from a heart attack, and her parents' situation became a mystery.

It was precisely because she had been with her grandfather since childhood that Li Muxia had no problem with anything, such as playing musical instruments, playing chess, calligraphy, and painting. The only problem was that she didn't know that the ancient Li Muxia was a fat man who couldn't do anything. At this moment, she was still glad that she had learned a lot from her grandfather.

So she very elegantly picked up her pen and wrote a recipe on the paper in a flowing and elegant style. And you have to admit, the handwriting really showed that she had put in a lot of effort to learn it. She was quite proud of herself, thinking, "Luckily, I practice calligraphy every day. Look at how well I write. I'm definitely not inferior to you ancient people." As she thought this, she blew on the ink that was still wet.

Standing next to Li Muxia, Hong'er stared at Li Muxia as if she had seen a ghost from the moment Li Muxia put pen to paper. She was very puzzled. Hong'er had seen her mistress's handwriting before. To say that it was as graceful as dragons and phoenixes was an understatement. Li Muxia's handwriting before could only be described as scribbles.

When Cui'er saw the medicinal diet recipe that Li Muxia had written so fluently and in one go, she opened her mouth and stiffly took the recipe from Li Muxia, who was still admiring her calligraphy. Then, with tears in her eyes, she said in a trembling voice, "This servant knew that Miss wasn't incompetent. Miss just didn't want to show it off. In fact, Miss has always been a hidden talent. After all, Madam was a talented woman who shocked the Three Kingdoms back then. As Madam's daughter, Miss is certainly no less talented than Madam."

After speaking, they looked at Li Muxia with hopeful eyes, making Li Muxia feel embarrassed. At this moment, Li Muxia realized that she had been too clever for her own good. Li Muxia was glad that these two girls were relatively naive and didn't know about time travel, otherwise she would definitely have been exposed. She should be more discreet in the future.

Seeing Hong'er staring at her intently, Li Muxia was about to lose her temper. She pointed to the paper in Hong'er's hand and said, "From now on, cook for me according to this recipe. You can take the food that was taken away earlier and divide it up. This young lady is going on a diet starting today!" She then glanced at Cui'er, a look that terrified Li Muxia, who wondered if she had given herself away.

While Li Muxia was still thinking about how to keep it a secret, Hong'er grabbed Li Muxia's hand, looked at her with teary eyes, and choked out, "Miss~ you finally~ finally figured it out! If Master~ if he knew, he would be so happy! I~ I'll go tell Master the good news right now." Before Li Muxia could react, Hong'er dashed off like a gust of wind.

Cui'er called out to Hong'er, who had run away, "Hong'er is getting more and more unruly. If the master sees you like this, he'll punish you with a beating."

Li Muxia was stunned for a while before she reacted. She patted her chest in lingering fear, thinking to herself that life in ancient times was really not easy. She had to be on tenterhooks every day. It seemed that she would have to study hard in the future. Otherwise, it would be bad if she accidentally showed off her talent and people suspected her. She didn't want to be treated specially.

Li Muxia was somewhat lecherous in his past life, so it seems he'll have to tone it down in the future to avoid frightening these ancient people.
