On our wedding night, my wife acted strangely.

The evening breeze, carrying the moisture from the lake, rushed into the window, dispelling the daytime heat and bringing a sense of tranquility.

Lin Yi leaned back in the chair in the bedroom, his feet immersed in the water.

After a day of learning, it's time to relax in the evening.

Mimi knelt on the ground, her small hands gently massaging his ankles with earnest movements.

Yifei was making the bed next to her.

"Your Highness, the steward came to say that the Luo sisters have moved to the east wing," Yifei said as she tucked the blanket in and walked to Lin Yi's side.

Lin Yi hummed in agreement.

These two sisters, one is self-righteous and the other is timid as a mouse, it's good that they live together, who knows what unexpected gains they might have.

After washing Lin Yi's feet and carefully drying them with a clean cloth, Mi Mi looked up at him with her big, watery eyes. "Your Highness, it's getting late. Will you... allow me to serve you again tonight?"

Lin Yi looked down at her and saw that the girl's ambition was practically overflowing from her eyes.

interesting.

He likes ambitious women like that.

So he reached out, pinched Mimi's chin, and gently stroked her smooth skin with his fingertips.

"Okay, but you'd better behave well. If you don't... you know the consequences..."

"Your Highness, rest assured, this servant will do her best." Mimi's cheeks instantly flushed red, and her heart was pounding like a drum.

She was well aware of the consequences.

In this household, there are many maids vying for a higher position, and among them are quite a few who are more beautiful and have better figures than herself.

Therefore, I must seize the opportunity.

Thinking of this, Mimi mustered her courage and pulled down the sash on her shoulder.

The emerald green dress slid down her smooth shoulders, revealing her snow-white shoulders and delicate collarbones. Then she pulled a pink handkerchief from her deep, snowy breasts and flicked it at Lin Yi's nose.

"Hiss...you little rascal." Lin Yi took a deep drag, completely absorbed in the moment.

"whee……"

Before Lin Yi could react to the delicate fragrance, he saw Mi Mi lift her skirt, revealing her bare, snow-white feet, and run into the courtyard, shouting, "Your Highness, come and chase me! Hahahaha..."

The clear laughter echoed in the night, like the sound of silver bells.

Lin Yi was enraged by her sudden action and immediately got up and chased after her.

"Little girl, where do you think you're going!"

"Oh dear, Your Highness~~ Hahahaha~"

Yifei watched the two run out, feeling a mix of loneliness and jealousy. She simply lowered her head and stared at the basin of foot-washing water.

Oh well, I'll go pour it out.

Yifei picked up the foot basin, walked out of the main hall, and came to the courtyard.

Under the moonlight, Mi Mi ran freely like a butterfly, her skirt fluttering in the wind.

Lin Yi, like a cheetah, followed her at a leisurely pace, a carefree smile on his face that she had never seen before.

Soon, Lin Yi caught up with Mi Mi in the octagonal pavilion, then pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Mimi let out a gasp, wrapped her arms around Lin Yi's neck, and her two long, shapely legs also wrapped around his waist.

The moonlight cast long shadows of the two figures against the octagonal pavilion.

Yifei stood under the eaves, sighed, poured the water under the banana tree, and quietly left.

The next morning, Lin Yi opened his eyes to find the sunlight streaming through the window, casting golden spots on the ground.

He frowned and shook his head groggily.

Damn it, I don't know what's wrong with me these past two days, I keep having nightmares.

He moved his body and suddenly realized that something was wrapped around him.

Looking down, I was surprised to see Yang Mi.

The girl was like an octopus, clinging to herself with both hands and feet, fast asleep, a trace of satisfied drool still hanging from the corner of her mouth.

Especially the thighs, which were pressing down on his chest!

Goodness, no wonder I was having nightmares.

Enraged, Lin Yi slapped her on the buttocks: "Get up!"

Mimi let out a soft moan and rubbed her eyes.

"Your Highness, are you going to act recklessly so early in the morning?"

"Who said that's nonsense? You sleep so restlessly, you gave me nightmares all night!"

"I know I was wrong. Then I'll accompany you for your morning exercise."

"No need, you lie down, I'll go by myself."

Although he said he was angry, Lin Yi didn't really care. In fact, seeing Mi Mi's sweet smile made him feel much better.

This girl has a really beautiful smile.

I rolled out of bed, and suddenly it occurred to me... wait a minute? That's not right.

Did Mimi mean when she said "morning exercise" that she would accompany me to martial arts practice?

Oops... This girl's words have a hidden meaning, she deserves a beating!

......

Not long after Lin Yi left, the door was gently pushed open.

Yifei led Shuying and two maids into the room to tidy up.

Mi Mi had already woken up, put on her undergarments, sat in front of the dressing table, and played with Lin Yi's personal jade pendant in her hand, acting like the mistress of the house.

Seeing Yifei come in, she didn't even lift her eyelids, and simply said, "Yifei, come and comb my hair."

Yifei paused in tidying the room, then looked at Mimi in surprise, then at the bewildered Shuying, and said angrily, "Mimi, don't go too far! I'm a first-class maid in the Prince's mansion, on equal footing with you. What gives you the right to order me around?"

Mimi put down the jade pendant, turned around, placed her hands on her knees, and looked at her with a smile: "Why? Because I served the prince last night, because the prince likes me, isn't that reason enough?"

"You!" Yifei was so angry she couldn't speak.

"What do you mean, 'what about me'?" Mimi stood up, walked up to Yifei, and looked down at her. "Yifei, I advise you to recognize your place. I'm in charge here now. If you don't comb my hair today, believe me, I'll whisper in the prince's ear tonight and make sure you're not even a first-class maid anymore!"

"You dare!"

"You'll see if I dare!"

Seeing the two about to clash, Shuying quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Sister Yifei, Sister Mimi, please stop arguing. It would be bad if the Prince heard us."

"So what if I heard you?" Mimi shoved Shuying aside. "You have no right to speak here, get out of here!"

Shuying stumbled from the push, biting her lip in grievance, and dared not speak again.

Looking at Mi Mi's arrogant and domineering demeanor, Yi Fei felt a pang of sadness.

I also understood what it really means to be a petty person who gains power.

There's nothing I can do; I definitely can't beat her today.

Who can blame her when she's the prince's most favored woman right now?

"Okay, I'll comb your hair." Yifei reluctantly squeezed out a few words, picked up the comb, and walked behind Mimi.

Mimi sat down triumphantly in front of the dressing table, looking at Yifei's angry, frustrated, and helpless face in the bronze mirror, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Let you act all high and mighty in front of me all the time, and let you rely on the prince's favor to put me in my place.

How are things now?

You still have to obediently serve me, right?

Yifei was already extremely unwilling to serve her, and the more she combed her hair, the angrier she became, unconsciously increasing the force in her hands.

"Ouch!" Mimi cried out in pain. "Are you crazy? Are you trying to pull all my hair out?"

Yifei said coldly, "Sorry, my hand slipped."

"You!" Mimi was about to explode when she suddenly remembered that there were still a few people in the mansion who could threaten her position, so she decided not to offend Yifei too much.

She took a deep breath, turned around, and took Yifei's hand: "Yifei, have you noticed? It seems like there's a vixen in our household."

Yifei was taken aback by her sudden change of heart. Being a kind-hearted girl, she didn't pull her hand back and asked, "Aren't you the biggest vixen?"

"Oh dear, it's my business if I'm seductive, but if others are seductive, that's shameless!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Who else could it be? It's the one who lives in the east wing."

Yifei then realized that she was referring to Luo Qingwan.

He frowned but didn't say anything.

Mimi continued, "I know you're resentful of me, feeling I stole your position. But have you considered that no matter how much we compete, it's still a matter between us? The one in the east wing is different; she's the second young lady of the Luo family, the Princess's own sister! If she truly gains the Prince's favor, will we still have a place in this mansion?"

Yifei was stunned.

I was so busy arguing with Yang Mi that I didn't really think about this issue.

Given Luo Qingwan's status, no matter how favored she and Mimi were, they were still just maids.

But she's different. If she gives birth to a son or daughter, she'll be a proper mistress.

Unlike those who served the Luo family members who had harmed the prince, Yi Fei's expression immediately turned serious: "What do you want to say?"

Seeing that she had taken the bait, Mimi leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Yifei, listen to me, that Miss Luo may look innocent, but she's definitely a slut at heart. Otherwise, why would the Prince have snatched her back? We need to think of a way to make her lose favor with the Prince!"

Looking at Mimi's face, which was distorted with jealousy, Yifei suddenly felt a wave of disgust.

She shook her head and put the comb on the table: "I'll just serve the prince peacefully. I won't compete with you for these things. Let whoever wants to compete do so."

After saying that, she took the clothes Lin Yi had changed out of and walked out without looking back.
