臣等又覽國史，竊見宗皇帝母曰昭成皇后竇氏，代宗皇帝母曰章敬太后吳氏，始嬪朱邸，俄幽宮，鴻圖既屬於明君，尊號鹹追於聖母。 We have also reviewed the national histories and observe that the mother of Emperor Xuanzong was Empress Zhaocheng Dou, and the mother of Emperor Daizong was Empress Dowager Zhangjing Wu. They first entered the princely household as consorts and soon passed away in the palace. Once enlightened rulers succeeded to the throne, honored titles were posthumously conferred upon them.
