Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Since Ye Li didn't have to get up early to serve tea to her parents-in-law, and she and Mo Chen were now the biggest masters of the entire General's Mansion, they slept until the sun was high in the sky before leaving their new room.

Mo Chen took the initiative to cook, displaying a military-strategy-like demeanor. He wrote down all the cooking tips his wife used to know in his notebook and busied himself in the kitchen.

It must be said that women are more meticulous, while men are more efficient. Women used to be unable to handle tasks like chopping wood, but men can easily master cooking, given their physical strength.

The saying "a gentleman keeps away from the kitchen" is nothing more than a man's way of taming women to be lazy. Now, under the influence of Ye Li's various stories and picture books, the general also believes that men should take on more housework so that women, who are already weak, can rest more.

Mo Chen prepared the meal and brought it to the new house for Ye Li. Even though she couldn't eat that much, Mo Chen still made several dishes.

Ye Li settled into a life where food was served to her, feeling that the general's potential was truly limitless. Not only was he exceptionally brave in battle, but he had also learned to cook quite well. The two ate their meal happily, and Mo Chen even took the initiative to clean up and take the food to the kitchen.

Having experienced lovemaking for the first time, Ye Li's body felt weak and limp. After eating and drinking her fill and resting for a while, Mo Chen carried her to wash up.

A new bathhouse was built in the General's Mansion, which was Ye Li's special request. Now that they were married, she wanted to live more comfortably. Ye Li redesigned the layout of the General's Mansion according to modern room planning, and then installed a simple flush toilet.

Because I had a good experience soaking in the hot spring last time, the bathroom has been equipped with a huge bathtub, and there are various shelves on the wall next to it, which are filled with toiletries.

Ye Li has developed her own soap, handmade soap, which is a new product she wants to launch later. Ye Li plans to develop a homestay tourism project in ancient times, and what she is developing now are some experimental products. The bathroom is filled with neatly arranged soaps of different scents.

These days, Ye Li's favorite thing to do is soak in different scented soaps while taking a bath.

When she was in the General's Mansion, Mo Chen often carried her so she wouldn't have to walk. Now she was really too tired to walk, so Mo Chen continued to carry her towards the bath.

Ye Li felt no discomfort at all; in fact, she found the general very considerate.

"With a husband like this, what more could a wife ask for?"

Ye Li lay in his arms, smiling happily at Mo Chen.

After listening, Mo Chen didn't find being a henpecked husband unpleasant at all; on the contrary, he happily continued:

"Each each other."

"Happy together."

"Happiness, happiness."

Watching the serious-looking general utter sweet words, Ye Li scooped up some water from the bath and splashed it on Mo Chen's face, playfully scolding him:

"Here, get some water to wake you up. We've wasted the whole morning."

Even lunch was delayed...

Upon hearing this, Mo Chen said apologetically, "It was my fault, I won't do it again. It's just that my wife is too delicious, I really couldn't resist."

Hearing the general spouting nonsense with a straight face again, Ye Li quickly covered Mo Chen's mouth:

"Alright, alright, you're so good with words, stop talking..."

Ye Li's face was so tender and delicate, as if you could squeeze water out of it, and she was as shy as a newly ripe peach.

She glared at Mo Chen, thinking she was fierce, but now she was radiant and beautiful. In Mo Chen's eyes, she was like a blooming flower, even more charming than yesterday.

Mo Chen's Adam's apple bobbed. Because the two of them were soaking in the water, the misty atmosphere was like a dream, making one want to bully her mercilessly.

Mo Chen felt that he had never been very interested in matters between men and women before, and he never thought of himself as the kind of person who would be lustful at first sight.

For him, love and romance were the most luxurious things in the world.

He married the kindest and most beautiful woman in the world, who became his wife. Mo Chen felt that this was the happiest thing.

But it turns out that people are greedy. He used to think that being able to love each other was already good enough, but now, looking at his beautiful wife lying softly in his arms, with her warm and fragrant body, Mo Chen longed to be with his wife every day.

For the men of the Mo family, doting on their wives is almost an instinct. When facing their beloved, this instinct is brought to its fullest extent. Mo Chen felt that no matter how much he loved Ye Li, it was never enough. The energetic general just wanted to hold her in his arms every day and love her fiercely.

Ye Li was still worried about what the servants would think of her because she hadn't gotten up on time for her morning lessons and had gotten up so late.

Oh, I'm so shy!

Mo Chen watched as his wife covered her eyes with her hands again. He knew that when his wife was out, she could often weigh the pros and cons and keep order in big situations. She was resourceful and her talents and strategies were comparable to those of men. But in essence, his wife was a very gentle and introverted person.

She is self-disciplined and clear-headed. Regardless of whether her master is around to supervise her, she insists on arranging her own morning lessons every day to learn new knowledge.

Mo Chen guessed that his wife was upset about waking up too late, so he hugged her and comforted her:

"Don't be afraid. I've already given the servants their monthly wages and sent them home to visit their families the day after the wedding. My master has also spoken to them, saying that I will create the illusion of being obsessed with beauty to deceive the people in the palace who are watching me."

"Really?" Ye Li looked up at Mo Chen in disbelief. Mo Chen had actually thought of something like this for her?

Making Xuanyuan Ming believe that Mo Chen is in love with a woman would indeed lower their guard and prevent them from taking advantage of the General's Mansion. However, it would also damage General Mo Chen's reputation. In Tian Shu Kingdom, men value their reputation highly, and many dare not admit that they are henpecked husbands for fear of being ridiculed.

Mo Chen pressed his forehead against Ye Li's burning forehead and said in a deep voice:

"Now that you've married me, I naturally hope that you'll live the most comfortable life in the General's Mansion."

Seeing how thoughtfully Mo Chen had considered every aspect of her needs, Ye Li hugged him again and said:

"Ah Chen, I'm so happy to be able to marry you!"

Before they got married, Ye Li was worried that her life would change drastically after becoming a wife, and that she would become a haggard housewife from doing housework day after day.

However, Mo Chen dispelled her concerns, and the general put his vow into practice—I will protect you.

Ye Li's fear of marriage and anxiety about the future vanished!

She held Mo Chen in her arms and whispered in his ear, "General! I want to have your child!"

Mo Chen was taken aback, not expecting his wife to be so fierce. He unconsciously covered his lips with his hand and coughed.

"Well, there's no rush... You were too thin before, I'll try to get you to gain some weight before we have a baby."

Upon hearing that Mo Chen wanted to fatten her up, Ye Li's head started to ache...

In her past life, she was too fat and therefore very insecure. She was extremely satisfied with the body she had transmigrated into this life; not only did it have a super-slim waist, but it also had a curvy figure with all the right curves. Ye Li said with a droopy face:

"Ah Chen, you wouldn't happen to... like chubby women, would you?"

All the nobles in Tian Shu Kingdom preferred plump figures, especially women. The plumper a woman was, the more fortunate she was considered to be. Ye Li used to be thin, and many women secretly looked down on her.

The general doted on her so much that it sparked a weight loss trend among the people. However, it wasn't the mainstream trend, so most people still believed that being overweight was a sign of good fortune.

Seeing Ye Li's brows furrowed in anxiety, Mo Chen chuckled and tried to soothe her:

"What are you thinking? Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. I'm worried you're too thin and might have a difficult delivery..."

Mo Chen held her in his arms and whispered his worries: "There are quite a few married soldiers in the camp. They say childbirth is difficult for women. Many women have complications during labor and don't survive, leaving only the baby..."

Seeing that Mo Chen was worried about this, Ye Li was relieved. She patted Mo Chen and comforted him:

"Don't be afraid, I have medical skills. Besides, if the baby can't be born naturally, we can have a C-section. The most important thing in a difficult labor is to have a C-section in time, so that both mother and child can be saved."

Mo Chen released his hand, his eyes wide open, and said in disbelief:

"What did you say? Cesarean section? That's utterly absurd! Wouldn't a woman suffer a fate worse than death if she were cesarean? No, we can't do that..."

It wasn't that Mo Chen wanted to doubt Ye Li, but even if her medical skills were superb, she could only treat the plague. Performing something like cesarean section to remove a child was simply too cruel!

Mo Chen closed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

“If it has to be this way, I would rather you never have conceived. There are plenty of children without parents in the military camp. I will not lack children.”

Ye Li knew that Mo Chen had misunderstood. A cesarean section is not a simple cutting; anesthesia is required.

So Ye Li explained to him in detail the modern medical science of cesarean section, telling him that proper suturing of the wound could save the pregnant woman's life to the greatest extent possible, and that cases of both mother and child dying were now extremely rare...

Mo Chen listened with some doubt, but still chose to believe his wife. However, he was also very curious:

"What you're describing, my lady, seems to be a very sophisticated birthing system. But why have I never heard of it before? And the doctors also believe that in the event of a difficult birth, we have to choose between saving the mother or the child. Where did you learn this, my lady?"

When Ye Li heard that Mo Chen wanted to delve into the source, although she understood that he was worried about her, she didn't have the courage to tell him that she was a time traveler. In the end, Ye Li brought up Doctor Mu again and told Mo Chen that this was the doctor's idea.

Upon hearing this, Mo Chen finally felt relieved. Doctor Mu was a highly skilled master of this era; since he could come up with this idea, he must have some basis for it. So, Mo Chen stroked Ye Li's hair and comforted her:

"If that day ever comes, I will definitely protect you and your child."

Upon hearing this, Ye Li smiled and hugged Mo Chen.

After taking a shower, they returned to the main courtyard. Ye Li hadn't finished painting the wedding photo yesterday, and she wanted to finish it.

So she led Mo Chen to the desk, had him put on his wedding clothes again, and began to paint his portrait.

Mo Chen had never known what wedding photos were, but his wife was an extremely talented painter, and he was very happy to see that she was willing to paint his portrait.

The marriage was proposed to the Emperor by Mo Chen, and even today he still feels it's unreal. Now, having such a quiet time to look back on their past, Mo Chen feels at ease. He sits upright in the chair, posing as Ye Li requested.

Ye Li hasn't finished the drawing she made for herself yesterday, but she wants to draw the one for Mo Chen first, because according to the agreement, little Mo Chen is supposed to be born tomorrow.

Because she was so focused on her work, Mo Chen finished his "wedding photo" quickly. As Ye Li put down her pen, she stretched and said, "Ah Chen, I'm done. Ah Chen looks so good. I really enjoy drawing for you!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Chen stepped forward curiously. He looked up and saw that the painting vividly depicted a man in fine clothes, with striking features and well-defined bones. So this is how his wife saw him...

Mo Chen noticed a line of smaller print next to it:

"Looking at the sky at dawn and the clouds at dusk, I think of you when I walk and when I sit down."

Mo Chen felt all the blood rush to one spot in his body. He held Ye Li tightly, his voice hoarse as he said:

“Before you could not speak, I thought you were a quiet and gentle girl, but now I know that my wife is the bravest woman in the world.”

Beautiful and intelligent, yet not confined to being a devoted wife and mother, Ye Li has the world in her heart, but she is also willing to put aside her shyness and bravely speak sweet words when in love. Mo Chen is absolutely in love with her free and easy personality!

Mo Chen whispered in her ear:

"This is the first time in my life I've received a love poem. I love your handwriting, and I love the person who writes it..."
