Walking on the Su Causeway with a hundred blooming flowers at West Lake, gazing at the lake, where the surface sparkled and shimmered, with small boats gliding, and the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon embedded like jewels on the lake.
Gu You observed and asked, "Madam, should we set up the painting tools here?"
Yueyao shook her head and said, "No need, have someone call for a small boat; I want to wander the lake by boat." After seeing the scenery, she would choose a spot, as painting the first beautiful scene she saw would be a waste if she found an even better one later. Yueyao didn't want to waste time.
Gu Lan quickly acquired a boat, one capable of carrying more than ten people. The owners were a couple, and the woman leading them was quite surprised. Many people hired boats to tour the lake, but a married woman traveling alone was a first.
Yueyao boarded the boat, followed by Gu You, Gu Lan, and ten guards. However, these people were not allowed to disturb her.
