內史士曰：「太后獨有帝與魯元公主，今王有七十餘城，而公主乃食數城。 Shi, the clerk of the inner administration, said, "The empress dowager values only the emperor and the Princess Yuan of Lu. You hold more than seventy cities, while the princess has barely a handful.

王誠以一郡上太后為公主湯沐邑，太后必喜，王無患矣。」 If you present one commandery to the empress dowager as a bath-town fief for the princess, she will be pleased and you will be safe."

於是齊王獻城陽郡以尊公主為王太后。 The king of Qi then offered Chengyang commandery to have the princess honored as queen dowager.
