My Love Comes to See the Grass on my Grave - Chapter 32

Gu Lang found a pen and paper for Cansi, and removed the tea set on the table to make room for him to paint. The dog was gearing up, telling Gu Lang not to look at it, saying that he would be amazed when he finished the painting.

So Gu Lang went to boil the medicine. When the medicine was ready, Inumi also accepted the pen with satisfaction.

“Prince Concubine,” Inunsi stood at the table and called Gu Lang as if asking for credit, “I’m done drawing.”

Gu Lang came over, inexplicably nervous. He looked at the painting on the table, and saw a large circle on the paper, with eyes, nose, mouth, etc., drawn crookedly, with a scribbled black line on top, probably… hair?

Gu Lang: “…”

Inu Mi was proud, “Does it look like His Highness?”

Gu Lang: “…with all the five senses.”

“If I’m not a secret guard in the future,” Inumi said, “I’ll set up a stall to sell paintings.”

Gu Lang: “…” Why can’t you think about it?

“Prince Princess,” Inunami asked, “Where do you think there are more people?”

Seeing his smugness, Gu Lang couldn’t bear to hit him, and only asked, “You are… self-taught?”

“No, it was taught by His Highness.” Inunmi said proudly, “But after only one month of teaching, he sighed and said that I can become a teacher.”

At that time, when he saw that the paintings of the scholars next door were selling well, and he married his wife and had children, he also wanted to learn painting. But as soon as he went out, he met the prince and said that if he wanted to be a dark guard for five years, he would teach him to paint, and then he could go to a stall to sell paintings if he stopped being a dark guard in the future.

“I asked Your Highness, what does the dark guard do? He said, he sleeps when he has nothing to do, goes out for a walk, and takes care of eating and drinking. But the result,” Inumi said angrily, “fighting, running errands, looking for news, almost You have to do everything! You can only sleep for half a day!”

Gu Lang remained silent.

Inunmi looked at him pitifully, “Can I ask His Highness to give me less tasks in the future?”

Gu Lang turned around neatly, “Uncle Zhao should drink the medicine.”

Inumi: “…”

Inumi turned his head back to the tree, closed his eyes and squinted for a while, then suddenly opened them again. He heard footsteps in the forest, and was approaching the bamboo building step by step.

He concealed his figure, followed the footsteps to find it, but saw Wu Qi in the forest.

“Brother Wu Qi?” Inunsi came out and said, “Why are you here too?”

The crown prince shook his head and said, “Sun Fang is a weakling. I didn’t tell you clearly when I asked you to come.” He raised his hand and tore off the human skin mask on his face, “It’s me.”

“His Royal Highness?” Inunami said in surprise, “Why, how is it you?”

“In front of Gu Lang in the future, I will be Wu Qi’s appearance,” the prince said, “Remember, don’t say anything, or you will sell me one day.”

Inunmi looked horrified, “But, but I just painted your portrait for the Crown Princess…”

The prince’s heart jumped, but he quickly calmed down. He knows Inumi’s painting skills, it’s good to be able to draw a person, as for whether it looks like it… This is not a consideration.

“It’s alright,” the prince took his shoulders and walked towards the bamboo building together. “The princess has a bad eye and can’t recognize it. By the way, why did you paint him a portrait of me?”

Inunami: “The Crown Princess misses you, and wants to see the painting and think of people.”

Then, he heard the prince burst into laughter.

Inumi: “…What, what’s wrong?”

“It’s alright,” the prince said, “I’m happy, you can sleep an extra hour tomorrow.”

“Really?” Inunsi thought excitedly. After that, he would draw a picture for the Crown Princess every day. Would he be able to sleep for an extra hour?

Gu Lang came down from the bamboo building with the medicine bowl in his hand, and saw the prince sitting at the table, propping his chin at the painting of Inunsi.

“This mouth is still drawn a bit like,” the prince nodded and said, “Well, there is progress.”

Gu Langmu didn’t look sideways, and was about to leave with the medicine bowl in his hand.

“I heard that you miss me,” the prince suddenly raised his head and said, “Want to meet Hua Siren?”

Gu Lang paused, “…No, I want to offer it up and burn incense every day to express my gratitude.”

Prince: “…”
