神宗十女 The Ten Daughters of Emperor Shenzong

年十二卒，帝后皆變服哀送。 She died at twelve; the emperor and empress both donned mourning dress and escorted her bier in grief.

初，帝念韓琦功德，欲與為婚姻，故哲宗緣先帝，以主降琦之子嘉彥。 The emperor, remembering Han Qi's service, wished to ally with him by marriage; Zhezong therefore followed his predecessor and had the princess marry Qi's son Jiayan.
