追崇國珍妻皇甫氏為京兆郡君，置守冢十戶。 Guozhen's wife, Lady Huangfu, was posthumously honored as Lady of Jingzhao Commandery, and ten households were assigned to tend the tomb.

又追京兆郡君為秦太上君。 Lady of Jingzhao Commandery was further posthumously honored as Grand Supreme Lady of Qin.

[5]太上君景明三年薨於洛陽，於此十六年矣。 [5] The Grand Supreme Lady had died in Luoyang in the third year of Jingming—sixteen years had passed.

太后以太上君墳瘞卑局，更增廣，為起塋域門闕碑表。 The empress dowager found the Grand Supreme Lady's tomb too modest and had the burial mound enlarged, with gates, towers, and steles erected.

今秦太上君未有尊諡，陵寢孤立，即秦君名，宜上終稱，兼設掃衞，以慰情典。 The Grand Supreme Lady of Qin has no posthumous title and her tomb lacks proper maintenance. She should receive a final honorific title and tomb guardians, in keeping with ritual propriety.
