十五年，禮部尚書夏言等奏：「悼靈皇后神主，先因祔於所親，暫祔奉慈殿孝惠太后之側。 In the fifteenth year, Minister of Rites Xia Yan and others memorialized: “The spirit tablet of Empress Daoling had first, because she was enshrined with her own kin, been placed temporarily beside Empress Xiaohui in the Hall of Maternal Kindness.

茲三後神主既擬遷於陵殿，則悼靈亦宜暫遷奉先殿旁室，享祀祭告，則一體設饌。」 Now that the spirit tablets of the three empresses are to be moved to the mausoleum hall, Daoling should likewise be moved temporarily to a side chamber of the Hall of Ancestors; for offerings, announcements, and sacrifices, one and the same set of viands should be prepared.”
