"Please, Your Majesty and Empress Dowager, board the boat."
The cruise boat was quickly tidied up and docked steadily on the shore. Yang Yong bowed his body, respectfully inviting Nangong Yi and Cai Wei to board.
Nangong Yi led Cai Wei across the ferry dock and boarded the boat.
There was a pavilion at both the bow and stern of the boat, connected by a rectangular veranda in the middle. Only the pavilion at the bow was open-sided, serving as the area where eunuchs rowed the boat. The central veranda and the pavilion at the stern were enclosed. If one wished to view the scenery, they could open the lattice windows with intricate carvings on both sides. Near the windows were beauty couches; the beauty leans were used for viewing.
