元豐六年六月，孝惠、孝章、淑德、章懷四後升祔，準章獻明肅、章懿二後，升祔禮畢，遞享太廟，止行升祔享禮及祭七祀，權罷孟冬薦享，仍以配繼先後為序。 In the sixth month of 1083, Empresses Xiaohui, Xiaozhang, Shude, and Zhanghuai were elevated and enshrined; following Empresses Zhangxian Mingsu and Zhangyi, after the rites they proceeded through the ancestral temple, performing only the elevation-enshrinement honoring rite and sacrifice to the seven household spirits, provisionally suspending the first-month-of-winter offering, ordered by consort succession.
