《五代史補》：世宗皇后符氏，即魏王彥卿之女。 The 《Supplement to the History of the Five Dynasties》 states that Empress Fu of Shizong was the daughter of Prince of Wei Yanqing.

時有相工視之大驚，密告魏王曰：「此女貴不可言。」 A physiognomist who examined her was greatly startled and told the Prince of Wei in secret, "This girl's destiny is beyond words."

後知高祖與其父有舊，城破之際，據堂門而坐，叱諸軍曰：「我符魏王女也，魏王與樞密太尉，兄弟之不若，汝等慎勿無禮。」 Knowing the High Ancestor and her father were old associates, when the city fell she sat in the hall doorway and shouted at the soldiers, "I am the daughter of Prince of Wei Fu; the Prince of Wei and the Grand Preceptor are as close as brothers—you must not treat me with disrespect."

乃歸之魏王。 He then returned her to the Prince of Wei.
