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.
Our glittering eunuch 
isn't there, but who cares?
المخصيّ المُتألِّق ليس هناك، لكن من يأبه؟
Der strahlende Eunuch
scheint aber zu fehlen.
El eunuco despampanante no está,
pero a quién le importa.
El eunuco despampanante no está,
pero a quién le importa.
Aucune trace
de ce cabotin d’eunuque.
L'eunuco sfavillante però non c'è.
Aquele eunuco brilhante não tá ali,
bom, não que eu ligue pra isso.
Зато павлина я что-то
нигде не вижу. Да и плевать.
