太后乃與帝俱燔死，而妃與許王從益及其妹匿於鞠院以免。 The dowager burned with the emperor, while the consort hid with Congyi, Xu Wang, and his sister in the hospital ward and survived.

契丹犯京師，趙延壽所尚明宗公主已死，耶律德光乃為延壽娶從益妹，是為永安公主。 When the Khitan took the capital, Mingzong’s princess, Zhao Yanshou’s wife, was already dead; Yelü Deguang gave Yanshou Congyi’s sister as bride—she became Princess Yong’an.

公主不知其母為誰，素亦養於妃，妃至京師主婚禮。 The princess never knew her mother; the consort had raised her from childhood, and when the consort reached the capital she oversaw the wedding.
