太后自未為嬰齊姬時，嘗與霸陵人安國少季通。 Even before the Queen Dowager had become Yingqi's consort, she had carried on an affair with a man named An Guoshaoji from Baling.

及嬰齊薨後，元鼎四年，漢使安國少季往諭王、王太后以入朝，比內諸侯； After Yingqi's death, in the fourth year of the Yuanding era, the Han court dispatched An Guoshaoji to persuade the king and the Queen Dowager to present themselves at court and accept the status of inner feudal lords.

王年少，太後中國人也，嘗與安國少季通，其使復私焉。 The king was young, and the Queen Dowager, who was originally from the Central Plains, had previously been An Guoshaoji's lover. When he arrived as envoy, the two resumed their affair.
