孛要合幼從攻西域，還封北平王，尚阿剌海別吉公主。 Xueyaohe campaigned in the Western Regions as a youth and, on his return, was enfeoffed as King of Beiping and married Princess Alahaibieji.

公主明睿有智略，車駕征伐四出，嘗使留守，軍國大政，諮禀而後行，師出無內顧之憂，公主之力居多。 The princess was intelligent and resourceful. When the emperor campaigned abroad she often remained as regent; on major military and state affairs he consulted her before acting, and marched without fear for affairs at home—largely through her strength.

孛要合未有子，公主為進姬妾，以廣嗣續，生三子：曰君不花，曰愛不花，曰拙里不花。 Because Xueyaohe had no sons, the princess presented concubines to secure the succession, and three sons were born: Junbuhua, Aibuhua, and Zhuolibuhua.

公主視之，皆如己出。 The princess treated them all as her own children.

公主阿剌海別吉追封皇祖姑齊國大長公主，加封趙國。 Princess Alahaibieji was posthumously made Imperial Grand-Aunt and Grand Princess of Qi, and further enfeoffed in the Zhao princedom.
