My Cousin Is a High-Risk Profession

[Blurb] In the first year of the Zhaohua era, Xue entered the palace. The emperor was delighted, made her a Noble Concubine, and summoned her to his chambers night after night. A month later, she was promoted to Consort and took up residence in the main hall of Qixiu Palace. For a time, everyone in the imperial harem kept out of her way. [Qixiu Palace] Consort Shu gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at the emperor. Night after night, my foot! He comes over for tea every evening. Must be nice to have nothing to do! Because of that, her pretty little one hadn't paid her any attention for ages! The emperor smiled innocently. Your pretty little one has no duties these next couple of days, so I'll have him come over. Look how good I am to you. That new one who just arrived can take care of me, right? Well, as the price of a lifetime of wealth and privilege, she had to bear every rotten reputation herself. Fortunately, she'd found a pretty little one in the palace to brighten her mood. Huh? Is my cousin's consort not much of a fighter lately? How long has it been since anything unexpected happened? The emperor silently chewed on a handkerchief in the corner. Where did Cousin find such a venomous beauty?! The male lead is the Director of the Eastern Depot. He can make money and support a family, and he's ruthless, cunning, and beautiful as a flower. Too bad the female lead is a scoundrel. [Also known as] The Scandalous Consort and the Treacherous Minister: Things They Simply Have to Say Did I Take the Blame for My Cousin Today?
