Things that Tong shouldn’t think about

“It’s so noisy.” Li Shimin covered his ears.
“It’s so noisy!” Li Xuanba scratched his brother’s arm frantically.
The two wet nurses who followed Li Shimin and Li Xuanba were sewing the cloth pads with heartache: “Hold on it, it will be sewn soon.”
After Li Xuanba scratched his brother, he said weakly: “Don’t hurry, be careful, don’t tick your hands.”
The wet nurse smiled and said, “Don’t tick your hands, don’t worry.”
Li Xuanba nodded and continued to lower his head to scratch his brother’s arm.
Go crazy.
Li Xuanba thought he had made complete preparations, but he never expected that the group of people on the dragon boat were too energetic.
During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, seven special songs and dances were set up according to regional characteristics, namely, the national gui, the Qing Shang gui, the Goryeo, the Indian gui, the Anguo gui, the Kucha gui, and the Wenkang gui. Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, adding Kang Guoji and Shuleji to “Nine Tribes”.
On several large ships led by Li Shimin and Li Xuanba, the “Nine Arts” took turns performing, singing and dancing all night long.
Li Shimin: “Stop singing, help me!”
Li Xuanba: “Is it good to have some hypnosis-relieving music? Thank you!”
Are you tired of singing and dancing? It doesn’t matter, between the “nine crafts” of each round, there are still craftsmen who lead rare beasts to perform a hundred plays and juggle, called “Manyan Fish and Dragon”.
The most interesting thing in “Manyan Yulong” is the juggling of various flames. This type of juggling starts at night and stops until the early morning. The eunuchs and guards were on duty all night to prevent the flames from accidentally igniting the ship.
Li Shimin: “Can you stop jumping on the deck in the middle of the night! Is this drumming with your feet!”
Li Xuanba: “Sleepy… Don’t torture my eardrums.”
At night, a bonfire will be lit on the deck.
The bonfire is set up in a bronze ware, and the wood burned inside is the best agarwood. When the flames ignite, a strange fragrance fills the world, as if he is in a fairyland.
Li Shimin: “Ah Yeh.”
Li Xuanba: “Ah Yeh.”
In the first few days, Li Shimin and Li Xuanba would hold hands to watch the fun. Soon, let alone Li Xuanba was crazy, Li Shimin became depressed.
Don’t these adults sleep?
The two children will never go out again unless necessary.
They were lying in the room, squinting even if they couldn’t sleep, closing their eyes as much as possible to rest.
Li Xuanba was quick to think and asked the wet nurse to seal several layers of silk in the fine linen cloth to make thick sound-insulating ear cups.
He and Li Shimin first blocked their ears with paper stickers, put on thick soundproof ear cups, and finally got a good night’s sleep.
It hurts a little after the ears are stuffed for a long time.
The two children hid in the room and did not come out. Queen Xiao was very worried and ordered the imperial doctor to check Li Shimin and Li Xuanba every day and adjust the prescriptions from time to time.
In the aggrieved expression of the two children, the imperial doctor prescribed some medicine to calm the mind, and then said to the queen tactfully that the two children were young and weak, and could not withstand too much popularity. It is recommended to move the children to a quieter boat to recuperate.
Empress Xiao sighed: “Mrs. Dou said that the two children were congenitally deficient and it was very difficult to raise. I used to laugh at her for being too worried. I took her to raise her for a while before I realized the hard work of Mrs. Dou.”
It is impossible to let the two children on another boat. Empress Xiao was worried that others would take care of Li Shimin and Li Xuanba.
She asked Li Shimin and Li Xuanba to move from the main hall on the first floor to the room on the middle section of the second floor. The room was much smaller, but it was far from the deck, which made the two children’s ears much quieter.
Li Shimin and Li Xuanba were finally able to take off the note and went to bed with only soundproof earmuffs.
After sleeping for a few days, Li Shimin finally recovered.
He was less than seven years old and actually felt like he had a life after a disaster: “I announce that I will never watch the ‘Nine-Tian Ji’ and ‘Manyan Yulong’ again!”
