The next morning, Qíngfù Niáng enters our part of the harem shortly after breakfast. We all assemble to hear what she has to say. Even Pangfua attends the gathering. It is the first time the entire harem has come together since Mìngfù Jing departed for the war nearly a month ago. The decrease in the number of residents of the Lotus Garden is now clearly visible, and gives several of us cause for concern.
“I have received news from Mìngfù Jing,” says Qíngfù Niáng. “She says that the war is progressing well and that our army is marching on the enemy’s last stronghold. The enemy are fleeing before our army’s advance. In recognition of this good news we shall hold a small celebration in the harem this afternoon.”
Qíngfù Niáng then takes Daoshi Shi and Huàn Hong aside to give them instructions about the celebration. I look towards where Pangfua is standing. From her smile I suspect she believes that Qíngfù Niáng will use this afternoon’s celebration to announce that Ah-Lin is to be discharged from the harem. I look at Ah-Lin and see that she has also noticed Pangfua’s look of delight. As if to confirm our fears, Qíngfù Niáng comes over to where Ah-Lin and I are standing.
“Ah-Lin. Meizhen. I wish to see you both in my room as soon as we are finished here.”
I look at Qíngfù Niáng in surprise. I have been worrying about Ah-Lin’s fate after what Genji had boasted, but now it seems my own future in the Lotus Garden is in doubt as well. We have no option but to obey Qíngfù Niáng’s summons, and we follow her back to her personal suite of rooms. Pangfua joins us a short while later, blatantly confirming Pangfua role in this scheming.
“I must make further reductions in the number of women in the Lotus Garden,” begins Qíngfù Niáng. “There simply isn’t the need for so many odalisques in the harem while my sister and her retinue are away. I have already sent a dozen odalisques to other houses that are in need of servants, but none of those places have a need for any more.”
Ah-Lin and I look at each other as though our world is about to end.
“There is an important official whom I wish to reward for his loyalty to our family,” continues Qíngfù Niáng. “Tragically his wife recently died of a fever and he is left with three young children to look after. He has seen you and is attracted to you, Ah-Lin. The prospect of having a European concubine from the Lotus Garden pleases him greatly. He has also accepted my offer to provide a housekeeper to help look after his house and children. That housekeeper will be you, Meizhen.”
“What if I don’t wish to accept this arrangement?” asks Ah-Lin.
“Then your possessions will be confiscated and you and your sister will be sent to the slave market to be sold like the ignorant foreign whores that you are,” sneers Pangfua.
“Silence, Pangfua,” snaps Qíngfù Niáng. “I have warned you about your jealousy clouding your actions. I shall deal with this matter. You have been allowed to witness this meeting, but you are not to interfere. Ah-Lin. If you do not wish to enter into a concubinage agreement with this man then I will find you another man. But you will accept an agreement ... and soon ... or be sent to the slave market.”
“I haven’t finished my training yet,” says Ah-Lin clutching at straws. “You told me that I can’t be a furen until I’ve completed my training. You refused to increase my stipend because I’m not a furen.”
“As of this moment you and Meizhen are no longer in training. You are a furen and daoshi respectively. Your stipends will be increased from today,” says Qíngfù Niáng, easily circumventing Ah-Lin’s objections.
“Jing will be unhappy when she discovers that I’ve been sent off like this,” says Ah-Lin.
“How dare you refer to my sister by her given name,” warns Qíngfù Niáng, but with less venom than when she reprimanded Pangfua a few moments ago. “Have you forgotten your training so quickly. As for whether my sister will be unhappy at your departure, then I’m sure Shuchang can provide many other pretty concubines to console her.”
“Why me?” continues Ah-Lin, determined not to give in without a fight.
“The man I wish to reward has chosen you,” says Qíngfù Niáng. “I am doing you a favour. You are a foreigner and too rebellious to be anything more than a brief passing fancy for Mìngfù Jing.”
“I can work hard and be worthy of Mìngfù Jing’s family name,” says Ah-Lin.
Pangfua can’t prevent herself from letting out a snort of derision at Ah-Lin’s statement. Qíngfù Niáng looks at Pangfua dangerously.
“Pangfua! You may depart,” orders Qíngfù Niáng. “I will see you at the celebration this afternoon.”
Pangfua is shocked by her sudden dismissal, but she doesn’t object. She has witnessed Ah-Lin’s downfall, and that was surely her aim all along. Qíngfù Niáng waits until Pangfua has departed before she continues.
