Maomao does her best to navigate the complex social situations at the garden party, including meeting the other Upper First rank concubines. But once she settles down to do her work as a food-taster, she discovers a surprise in a bowl of soup.

لكن كنتُ لأتمنّى ابتلاعه

Aunque me habría encantado tragármelo.
Si ça n’avait tenu qu’à moi,
j’aurais tout englouti,

ter engolido o veneno...
Но вообще, мне так
хотелось его проглотить!
