No wonder just going out for a stroll had attracted a playboy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, Tang Pei started to get angry as well: \"Where is this playboy? I’m going to settle the score with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just at that Taoran Inn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning took another sip of tea: \"The guy wasn’t bad-looking and seemed decent, but who knew he’d turn out to be such a scoundrel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taoran Inn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Pei ground his teeth and rose to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just at this moment, Xu De came searching for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He entered with an anxious expression and immediately asked Anning, \"Miss Sun, did you run into someone when you went out today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning did not hide it: \"I just ran into a scoundrel. He already has a wife and children at home, and he even dared to propose to marry me. I couldn’t stand it and gave him a kick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu De’s face became a colorful display of emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning rubbed her wrist and stood up: \"What? Has he come looking for trouble?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu De stiffly nodded his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning and Tang Pei asked together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu De pointed in the direction of the front hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could say anything further, the two of them had already run off without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu De held his forehead, a headache coming on: \"That’s, that’s the Emperor, my goodness...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly chased after them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning, filled with anger, entered the front hall ready to hit someone: \"Playboy, tricking me once is enough, but you dare to come looking for trouble?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Pei had already charged over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eunuch Wu was terrified and quickly stepped forward to block Tang Pei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Pei lifted him up with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop, stop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu De ran over with all his might, but was still a step behind. As soon as he entered, he saw the conflict unfolding, turning pale with fright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Pei glanced at Xu De.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu De hurriedly went over to rescue Eunuch Wu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Xu De knelt before the Emperor: \"Your servant greets the Emperor, long live the Emperor...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Pei stared, dumbfounded, at the man with anger on his face: \"You are the Emperor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor’s anger intensified, his face full of jealous suspicion glaring at Tang Pei: \"And who might you be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no wonder the Emperor was jealous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Tang Pei came in, he acted impulsively, appearing even more infuriated than Anning, a clear sign of their close relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, standing with Anning he looked handsome and she beautiful, their ages seeming well-matched. They truly appeared to be a perfect pair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor had already concluded that there was a romantic involvement between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu De hurriedly pulled Tang Pei down to kneel: \"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This is Tang Pei, the new top scorer... He, he did not intend any offense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tang Pei was fearless, countering indignantly: \"I intended to offend. Just because you’re the Emperor doesn’t mean you can harass respectable women in the streets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor looked sternly at Tang Pei, marking a note against him in his mental notebook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then turned to Anning: \"And who is this to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning fully understood what the Emperor was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afraid that Tang Pei would be at a disadvantage, she quickly protected Tang Pei: \"This is my grandson.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the Emperor and Xu De were the ones caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Pei stiffened his neck: \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor narrowed his eyes, his gaze growing even colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Pei continued: \"It’s the great-great-grandson. I can’t be of the same generation as my father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eunuch Wu stood by the side, now truly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu De plopped himself on the ground, looking at Tang Pei and asking: \"Nephew, what on earth is going on here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Pei truly didn’t know how to answer. He just pushed the responsibility onto Anning: \"Ask her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor, Xu De, and Eunuch Wu all turned their stares toward Anning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning pulled over a chair and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed to Tang Pei and said softly: \"Her great-great-grandmother is my older sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu De’s head ached terribly. He did the math for Tang Pei’s age, and also calculated the age of the Old Dowager of Marquis Zhongyong: \"If you say so... Your great-grandmother would be over seventy or eighty if she were alive, and she’s your sister. That math doesn’t add up at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning replied very calmly: \"I was born to my parents late in their life. My father had my sister when he was in his teens and had me when he was in his sixties. There’s a gap of over forty years. Moreover, I’m not young anymore, I’m already in my thirties.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calculated like that, it indeed made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu De looked toward Tang Pei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Pei regained his senses; he was truly convinced now. He hadn’t expected such a clever ploy. The games of a great-great-grandmother were really unexpected, leaving people unable to guard against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Tang Pei were in modern times, he would definitely say that the longest journey he’s ever taken was through the great-great-grandmother’s schemes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Pei nodded to Xu De, indicating that what Anning said was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu De quickly bowed to Anning: \"I greet my great-aunt grandmother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor, being left out, started to seek his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knocked on the table: \"We don’t care about your relationships. I have some things I want to discuss with Mrs. Sun. You two, leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu De looked at Anning with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning waved at Tang Pei and Xu De: \"Alright, you two go ahead and leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the pair get up to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this situation, Eunuch Wu quickly followed them out and carefully closed the door behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor got up and walked over to Anning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting closer, he looked at Anning again and felt more than ever that she was truly agreeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spring breeze blew through the window, causing a few strands of Anning’s hair to fall down. The Emperor wanted to help her put them up but didn’t dare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only lower his voice, almost pleadingly: \"I am not joking, nor am I mocking you. I truly wish to marry you. My legitimate wife passed away long ago, and since then I haven’t established any Empress. The current Supreme Empress in the palace was not conferred by me, but by my imperial son, and she’s merely a concubine. It was only out of consideration for my son that I agreed to her elevation. In my heart, I’ve never regarded her as my legitimate wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning sized up the Emperor, her expression contemplative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor began to swallow nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Anning finally spoke: \"Do you mean to say that you want to confer me as the Supreme Empress?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I would enter the Imperial Palace with the etiquette of the Supreme Empress, seated on the phoenix carriage, through the main gate of the Imperial Palace. After entering the palace... If I enter the palace, apart from me, you can no longer bestow favor upon any Imperial Concubine or concubine, not even the Supreme Empress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor smiled, his grin utterly jubilant: \"I promise you, from now on, I will only cherish you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning thought again: \"Do you own any gardens outside of the palace?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I own several gardens.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning’s eyes gleamed with a cunning look: \"Then I shall live in the garden, and you must live there with me as well. I have no desire to stay in the Imperial Palace to see you surrounded by a crowd of wives and concubines.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was indeed in line with the Emperor’s wishes, and he happily agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you need to write it down. Spoken words hold no proof; let written words be the evidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anning seized the opportunity to propose her conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>",1368,"2026-06-05T16:08:09.866Z",1,"novelbin.me","b9368eb92f775ec0521aa6309128b48d49c98995904452c27061069d7e2b8ddf","the-comeback-of-the-cannon-fodder-supporting-act-chapter-274","the-comeback-of-the-cannon-fodder-supporting-act-chapter-273",1243,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-comeback-of-the-cannon-fodder-supporting-act-cover.jpg"]
