皇太妃出入儀衛。
Ceremonial Guards for the Imperial Consort Dowager.
哲宗紹聖元年，三省、樞密院言：“增崇皇太妃出入儀衛：龍鳳扇二十，侍從官入內省都知或押班一員，內侍省都知或押班一員，皇城司、禦藥院、內東門司各一員，帶禦器械內侍八員，引喝內侍一員。
In Shaosheng 1 under Emperor Zhezong, the Three Departments and Bureau of Military Affairs proposed: "To augment the imperial consort dowager's processional guards: twenty dragon-and-phoenix fans; one chief steward or ushership leader from the Escort Officials Inner Palace Service; one chief steward or ushership leader from the Inner Service Bureau; one official each from the Imperial City Command, Imperial Pharmacy, and Inner East Gate Command; eight armed inner attendants; and one herald.
禮部太常寺又言：“元祐三年，詔皇太妃傘用紅黃羅。
The Ministry of Rites and Court of Imperial Sacrifices added: "In Yuanyou 3 an edict held that the imperial consort dowager's parasols should use red and yellow silk.
參議得皇太后出入兼用紅黃，今皇太妃若亦用黃，則非差降之意。
Review found that the empress dowager used both red and yellow on processions; if the imperial consort dowager also used yellow, that would violate the intended gradation.
於是約聖瑞皇太妃之製，出入由宣德正門，增龍鳳扇二十，禦龍直十二人，禦龍骨朵子直十七人，禦龍弓箭直十二人，禦龍弩直二十二人，殿前指揮十三人，皇城司禁衛二十人，快行親從官四人，執燭、皇城司親從官、金銅車並棕車，隨時定數供須。
The court then followed Sacred Auspice Imperial Consort regulations: entry and exit through the Xuande main gate, with 20 additional dragon-and-phoenix fans, 12 Imperial Dragon Direct, 17 Imperial Dragon geku Direct, 12 Imperial Dragon bow Direct, 22 Imperial Dragon crossbow Direct, 13 Palatial Guard commanders, 20 Imperial City inner guards, 4 fast-march personal followers, plus candle bearers, Imperial City personal followers, and golden-bronze and palm-fiber carts supplied as needed.
禮部太常寺奏：“典禮，準聖瑞皇太妃例，侍從官入內內侍省都知或押班一員，皇城、禦藥、內東門司官各一員，禦輦院輪官隨從，諸司禦燎子、茶床、帶禦器械內侍十人，引喝內侍一人。
The Ministry of Rites and Court of Imperial Sacrifices replied: "Following the precedent of Sacred Auspice Imperial Consort, escort officials should include one chief steward or ushership leader of the Inner Service, one official each from the Imperial City, Imperial Pharmacy, and Inner East Gate Commands, a rotating official from the Imperial Palanquin Office, ten inner attendants with imperial braziers, tea tables, and weapons, and one herald.
