Yun Zhining had no idea what had happened in the imperial study. When she woke up, everything in front of her was pitch black.

"Qingzhu, it's night time, why don't you light a lamp?"

There was a sound of crying in my ears.

"My lady, it's only noon now."

Why is it so pitch black at noon that you can't see your hand in front of you?

The moment she stretched out her hand, a picture emerged in her mind and she instantly woke up.

"Are you Xiao, Xiao Kui?"

Xiao Kui ran over crying when she heard the sound, grabbed Yun Zhining's hand and nodded heavily.

"My lady, it's me. I'm Xiaokui. I'm your favorite Xiaokui!"

"Bah, how shameless! It's obvious that I'm the one my sister loves the most."

This voice sounds familiar, as if it is...

Yun Zhining smiled knowingly.

"Baozhu, you are here too?"

"What do you mean I'm here? It should be you who's back."

"came back?"

Yun Zhining was stunned at first, but then she reacted quickly.

"So I am now in Qingning Palace?"

"Yes, the emperor said that Empress Dowager Xiaoci has recovered from her illness, and Princess Lin'an has also returned. She can accompany her, supervise her, and remind her to take care of her health, so she doesn't need you anymore."

"Besides, you are blind now, and it is not convenient for you to stay in Xiaohe Palace. You might as well go back to Qingning Palace. After all, you are familiar with the environment here. You know where everything is and how to get around. You won't stumble because you are not familiar with the environment."

"There are so many people here who can take care of you. He doesn't have to worry so much."

"I see."

Yun Zhining smiled and nodded.

"Oh, by the way, I remember that before I fainted, Princess Lin'an was so angry with her son Wei Peng that she fainted. How is she now?"

"My dear sister, you should worry about yourself now. Princess Lin'an just had a temporary attack of blood and qi. Doctor Song prescribed her a medicine. She woke up soon after taking it. Now she is full of energy and is in great shape."

"As for you, I guess you'll have to wear the white veil until Doctor Chen comes up with a solution."

"Ah, how long will that take?"

"It can be as short as a year or two, or as long as thirty to fifty years."

"You might as well kill me!"

Yun Zhining fell backwards, lifeless.

The corner of Zhou Baozhu's mouth twitched slightly.

"That's enough. There are so many disabled people in the world. Ordinary people have to use their healthy hands and feet to earn money to support their families. Even if you can't see, you can still have food and clothes. When you go to the toilet, there is someone to help you. Your situation is much better than theirs. You should be content."

"Thank you, Baozhu. After hearing what you said, I instantly felt like I was alive again."

"So many people who are worse off than me are living strong lives, what reason do I have to give up on myself?"

Seeing this, Zhou Baozhu nodded with satisfaction.

"That's pretty much it."

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"Yes, what did the imperial kitchen deliver at noon today?"

"Steamed sea bass, lotus chicken slices, corn ribs soup, pumpkin millet porridge, tofu in tomato sauce, sweet and sour pork with pineapple, garlic ribs, honey chicken legs, ..."

"Wow, there is so much meat, hurry up, bring it to me, I want to eat it, I want to eat it."

After Zhou Baozhu gave the order, Qingzhu quickly brought people to put all the food on the table. Little Putao sat opposite her and ate quietly, while Yun Zhining opened her mouth wide and waited for someone to feed her.

As he watched, Little Grape finally couldn't help laughing.

Yun Zhining blushed and felt a little embarrassed.

"Little Grape, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly feel that the world is very wonderful. When I was little, you watched the nanny feed me. When I grew up, I watched the palace maids feed you. Is this the law of karma? No one can escape from the fate?"

Yun Zhining: ...

"as long as you are happy."

While we were eating, we heard a commotion outside, but it soon disappeared and was replaced by a burst of loud shouting.

"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

The corners of Yun Zhining's mouth curled up instantly.

What a lovely group of people! Knowing that she was blind and couldn't notice the Queen's arrival in time, they reminded her loudly and asked her to make preparations quickly.

After the queen leaves, she will definitely reward them well.

It could also reassure them, so that they wouldn't think that she was blind and there was no hope for the future, and that all the demons and monsters would come out to cause trouble.

Just as she was thinking, footsteps came in and she quickly knelt down to salute.

"I greet the Queen, may the Queen be well and safe."

"Xin'er, help Ming get up quickly."

Since the Queen had said so, Yun Zhining couldn't refuse her kindness. She slowly stood up with the help of Qingzhu and Xiner.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has come to Qingning Palace. What instructions do you have?"

"It's not really an order, I came here to congratulate you, my sister."

She glanced at Xin'er, who took out a bright yellow scroll from the tray behind her.

"Ming Xiurong will receive the order."

Yun Zhining, who had just stood up, was forced to kneel down again.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: There is a woman named Xiurong Yun, who is virtuous, gentle, respectful, thrifty, gentle, kind, prudent, and beautiful. In compliance with the Empress Dowager's benevolent order, she is specially appointed as a concubine and given the title of Yi. This is bestowed by the Emperor."

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. Long live the emperor."

At this moment, everyone's attention was on Yun Zhining's title as the imperial concubine, and Xiao Kui was the only one who was puzzled.

"Isn't your name Ming Xiurong? Why is your last name Yun?"

The corners of Qingzhu's mouth twitched violently a few times, but he couldn't hold it in in the end.

"Xiao Kui, are you stupid?"

"The Majesty's surname is Yun, and her given name is Zhining. It's just her title, not her surname!"

"You can't assume that her last name is Ming just because she has had this title for a long time."

Xiaokui touched the back of his head and chuckled.

"Yes, people outside call you Ming Xiurong every day, and I almost forgot that your surname is Yun."

"That's really stupid."

Qingzhu rolled her eyes at her and didn't want to pay any attention to her for fear of being infected by her.

After receiving the order, Yun Zhining stood up by herself.

From this moment on, she was Concubine Yi, and no longer the former Ming Xiurong.

From then on, she had the right to express her opinion on anything that happened in the harem.

The queen was alert in her heart, but she still looked happy for her.

"After the news of your blindness was exposed, I was really worried that those people in the palace who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak would mock you and mistreat you, making it impossible for you to recover your injuries and regain your sight as soon as possible."

"Now it's all good. The emperor has made you a concubine and bestowed upon you such a good title. No one dares to look down on you or ignore you. Maybe he can even bring you happiness and help you recover your sight soon."
