後誕皇子繼岌，寵待日隆。 Later she bore the prince Li Jiji, and her favor grew day by day.

莊宗好俳優，宮中暇日，自負蓍囊藥篋，令繼岌相隨，以後父劉叟以醫卜為業也。 Zhuangzong loved actors. On idle days in the palace he would carry a diviner's bag and medicine case on his back, with Jiji following along, impersonating the empress's father Liu Sou, who made his living as a physician and diviner.

後方晝眠，及造其臥內，自稱劉衙推訪女，後大恚，笞繼岌。 The empress was napping when he entered her bedchamber, calling himself Magistrate Liu come to visit his daughter. She was furious and had Jiji flogged.
