壬辰，供奉官李瑰自西川回，節度使孟知祥附表陳敘隔絕之由，並進物，先賜金器等。 On renchen Li Gui returned from western Sichuan; Meng Zhixiang attached a memorial on the estrangement and presented goods, and gold vessels were bestowed first.

瑰，知祥甥也，母在蜀，故今瑰往焉。 Gui was Zhixiang's nephew; his mother was in Shu, so Gui had been sent there.

瑰至蜀，具述朝廷厚待之意，知祥稱藩如初，奏福慶長公主以今年正月十二日薨。 At Shu Gui conveyed the court's generous treatment; Zhixiang declared vassalage as before and reported that Princess of Blessing and Celebration had died on the twelfth of the first month this year.

冬十月己酉朔，再遣供奉官李瑰使西川，兼押賜故福慶長公主祭贈絹三千匹，並賜知祥玉帶。 On the jiyou new moon in the tenth month Li Gui was again sent to western Sichuan with three thousand bolts of silk for the late Princess of Blessing and Celebration and a jade belt for Zhixiang.
