皇帝詣太上皇后坐前北向立，太上皇后升坐，皇帝四拜起居，行奉上冊寶之禮，讀冊官陳子常讀冊，讀寶官梁康民讀寶，讀訖復位，皇帝再拜稱賀致詞曰：“皇帝臣某稽首言：伏惟壽聖太上皇后殿下德茂坤元，禮崇大號，寶書翕受，歡抃無疆。” The emperor proceeded before the Supreme Empress's seat and stood facing north. The Supreme Empress ascended and took her seat. The emperor bowed four times in reporting on her health and performed the rite of presenting the patent and seal. Patent Reader Chen Zichang read the patent and Seal Reader Liang Kangmin read the seal; when the reading was finished they returned to their places. The emperor bowed twice and offered congratulations with a formal address: "The emperor, your subject, kowtows and reports: Humbly considering that Your Highness the Shousheng Supreme Empress's virtue flourishes in the earth's origin and rites honor this great title, the precious document is graciously received and our joy knows no bounds."
