Disclaimer:Not MY story & translations ^hope y'all enjoy it ;)

Btw this is a BL story | if can't take it just leave :/

The end of spring and beginning of summer is a time loved by many. The sun is not scorching yet warm, the tree leaves suffused with a tender green. In this kind of good weather, even the cat will sprawl lazily, softly mewing, tuck in its paws, and doze away in slumber, becoming a snow white mound. At least, the cat of the blind concubine's is like this.

The blind concubine hears the small sound of cat paws treading the ground, the tiny meowing sound of the cat's cries, hears the rustle of the breeze across its fur, and he can not help but smile.

He makes his way down the stairs, one small step after another small step to the middle of the courtyard. He carefully sits down in his rattan chair to enjoy this serene afternoon. The whole time he is smiling.

No one knows when the blind concubine entered the palace, nor does anyone know for what reason he is confined within the cold palace(1). No one even knows the cause of his blindness.

In the palace some will say that the blind concubine had a high fever as an infant to which he nearly lost his life. Afterwards, despite overcoming the sickness, his eyes could not see again. Other people will say that when the concubine first entered the palace, his eyes were beautiful and full of life but who knows what happened afterwards for his eyes to end up like this.

In the palace, servants and palace maids alike will bicker about the blind concubine's eyes but not one person can persuade the other. As time passes, not many people remember the blind concubine's name, because he is blind so they call him the blind concubine. Now, even the imperial wives call him thus and not one person can remember his name.

But all the people in the palace know that in the cold palace, there lives a blind concubine who has a snowy white cat. That cat is called Yu Li and Yu Li is the blind concubine's dearest treasure.

Yu Li's entire body is snowy white, not a single colored hair. Upon touch, it is the softest, most satiny thing to feel, even better than touching the most expensive silk cloth. Let's not mention its round penetrating cat eyes, almost as if they could suck in the very souls of people.

The blind concubine treats this cat as his most beloved to the extent of tucking into sleep with his cat in his arms. But Yu Li is a very mischievous cat, often escaping out of the cold palace. Once it decides to go, neither hide nor hair will be seen of it.

If Yu Li does not return by nightfall, the blind concubine will begin to fret, worriedly sending Xiao Bao out into the night to search for it.

However, the palace is big. Trying to find a person in the palace is already a very difficult task, let alone trying to find a cat. Xiao Bao will often leave with a frown on his face and return with the same expression.

"Master, we are barely able to feed ourselves yet you still have the patience to care for a cat."

At this time, the blind concubine will always close his eyes and beam, saying: "Yu Li is nice to have around. How cold and cheerless a place this cold palace is? With it as a companion, I am not as lonely."

As for food, the blind concubine, unable to bring himself to eat it, will save the best for Yu Li, much preferring that he himself starve.

Not many people in the palace have seen the blind concubine but the same cannot be said of Xiao Bao. Let us not underestimate him because of his small stature, but he is indeed a clever child. He will think of many ways to bring food back to the cold palace. When the weather turns cold, he will kneel outside of the house of the old administrator of palace interior(2) begging for the addition of a warm stove for the blind concubine, no matter if it is a used one nobody else wants.

Only thanks to Xiao Bao's warm stove were they able to endure the coldest days of the winter season.The blind concubine fears the cold weather.

Yu Li is fears it even more. One person and one cat will curl together, shivering in cold.How can Xiao Bao not feel tenderness for these two? How can Xiao Bao not try his best, even when his own hands freeze from the cold and form blisters, when his blisters tear open and blood drips down his fingertips into the snow.

The other imperial concubines who like Yu Li want to raise it as their own so they prepare warm beds and dried fish sticks. Yu Li do not even bat them an eye and ignore the fish sticks, willing to live in the blind concubine's cold palace even in the coldest, harshest of winters faithfully by the blind concubine's side.

The palace people are astonished by this, saying that Yu Li isn't just an ordinary cat.

Xiao Bao thinks that the blind concubine does not cherish Yu Li in vain.

The blind concubine himself however knows nothing of all that goes around him. He cannot see and walking is difficult for him so he rarely goes outside. Xiao Bao tells him all that happens in the palace.

Whatever Xiao Bao talks, he listens. Everyday from morning to dark, he smiles.

Xiao Bao likes it like this.

When the blind concubine is happy, he is happy. He has neither family nor acquaintance so he can only care for the blind concubine.

The blind concubine likes Yu Li so he cannot help but dote on the cat as well. When Yu Li disappears, Xiao Bao runs the risk of being scolded and punished to go searching for it outside the cold palace, in the imperial gardens, in the imperial kitchen.

If he does not go, the blind concubine will stagger outside himself to look. He would much rather be the one to endure punishment than the blind concubine.

Winter is a faraway notion now that spring has ended and summer has come and how happy the blind concubine is.

In this kind of good weather, this sort of afternoon, the warm breeze coaxes people to sleep. The blind concubine lounges on the rattan chair, Yu Li content by his feet. No other afternoon can compare to this one. It is as if all the wonderful things have melted into this warm sunlight that pours down onto this tiny patch of earth.

The blind concubine does not know this but at this time, standing in the courtyard entrance, is a man watching him. That person's expression is very concentrated like he has been enraptured by someone, someone's sleeping contented face. And he involuntarily smiles, becoming a part of the warmth given from the sunlight.

The blind concubine also does not know that the person wears a robe of bright yellow. An exquisite pendant hangs from his waist, his face an appearance of calm. Behind him stands a long train of deferential and bowing servants and palace maids.

The blind concubine cannot see so how is he to know?

Xiao Bao on the other hand has seen and in an instant has fallen to kneel prostrate on the ground.

A wave of the man's hand stops him in midmotion.

Xiao Bao holds his breath in fear, secretly peering at the blind concubine as if this way he would sense the presence of the stranger.
