孝宗二女：長嘉國公主，紹興二十四年，封碩人，進永嘉郡主，三十二年卒。 Xiaozong had two daughters: the elder became Princess of Jia; in 1154 she was made Shuren, then Princess of Yongjia, and died in 1162.

詔以醫官李師克等屬吏，孝宗時居東宮，奏：「臣女幼而多疾，不宜罪醫。」 An edict called for prosecuting the physician Li Shike and others; when Xiaozong was crown prince he wrote, "My daughter has been sickly since childhood—the physicians should not be punished."

乾道二年，贈嘉國公主。 In 1166 she was posthumously made Princess of Jia.
