Dressed in a yellow robe, the Emperor stood at the forefront, holding incense in both hands. Amidst the ceaseless beating of drums and playing of music, the ministers watched from below the platform. After three bows, the ceremony concluded, and the incense was inserted into the censer.
The Emperor descended from the platform. Surrounded by his subjects, he made his way to the fields, taking a pickaxe from an old farmer to till the soil.
Lin Zhi, Fang, and other titled female family members stood behind the Empress, while the ministers gathered around the Emperor. Chu Jing was also there, a mere three steps away from the Emperor. Just a moment ago, she had seen Chu Jing speaking with someone who looked like a general. Shortly after, the Imperial Army had entered the woods, but no sound came from within.
