After Jiang Han stepped down, Rong Wanyun wrote, "Why must the chrysanthemum suffer so, to face two Double Ninth Festivals?"
Hua Yang looked at Lu Jingxing in surprise. "I never would have guessed my little imperial sister-in-law was such a woman of letters."
Lu Jingxing said, "She was born on the Double Ninth Festival, and most poems for the festival are about chrysanthemums. If the flower theme were different, she might not have lasted this long."
As the crowd looked at the verses Rong Wanyun had written, many among them began to grow suspicious of her identity.
'How could a woman raised in the countryside know so many poems?'
Whispering in twos and threes, many began to speculate that Rong Wanyun was, in fact, the "deceased" Mu Wanruo.
That Mu Wanruo had simply used the identity of her sister, born of a concubine, to return to Chang'an City.
