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.

帝曰：「奉先殿見有孝肅、孝穆、孝惠三後神位，俱皇祖所定，宜遵行祔安。」 The emperor said: “The Hall of Ancestors already holds the spirit tablets of Empresses Xiaosu, Xiaomu, and Xiaohui, all as fixed by our imperial grandfather; the enshrinement and installation should follow that precedent.”
