韓安國為梁使，見大長公主而泣曰：「何梁王為人子之孝，為人臣之忠，太后曾弗省也？ Han Anguo, as envoy of Liang, went to see the Grand Princess and wept, saying, "How can it be that the King of Liang's filial piety as a son and loyalty as a minister have never won the Empress Dowager's regard?

大長公主具以告太后，太后喜曰：「為言之帝。」 The Grand Princess told the Empress Dowager everything. The Empress Dowager was pleased and said, "Speak of this to the Emperor."

太后、長公主更賜安國可直千餘金。 The Empress Dowager and the Grand Princess in turn rewarded Anguo with gifts worth over a thousand pieces of gold.
