長興二年，東丹王突欲在闕下，其母繼發使申報，朝廷亦優容之。 In Changxing 2 the King of Eastern Dan, Tuyu, was at the Tang court. His mother kept sending envoys with reports, and the court treated him leniently.

德光白其母曰：「兒昨夢太原石郎發使到國，今果至矣，事符天意，必須赴之。」 Deguang told his mother, "I dreamed last night that Lord Stone of Taiyuan was sending envoys to us. They have come. Heaven wills this. I must go."

天福三年，又遣宰臣馮道、左僕射劉句等持節冊德光及其母氏徽號，賫鹵簿、儀伏、法服、車輅於本國行禮。 In Tianfu 3 he sent Chancellor Feng Dao and Left Vice Director Liu Gou with credentials to invest Deguang and his mother with honorific titles, bearing full imperial regalia to conduct the ceremony in the Khitan homeland.
