After getting into the carriage, Pei Zhi chuckled to herself and shook her head.
Normally, with Pei Zhi ascending the throne, Qin Xiangyang would be the undisputed imperial consort.
Qin Xiangyang came from a merchant family, and since ancient times, the social order has been scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants.
If Pei Zhi were to appoint Qin Xiangyang as the imperial consort, the people below would probably cause a huge uproar.

"I had someone take it down, grind it into powder, and have His Majesty use it to apply to his face."
Pei Zhi replied lazily, "Thank you for your trouble."
Qin Xiangyang noticed that Pei Zhi was not in high spirits, so he ordered the servants to prepare dinner.
