太宗即位，尊為皇太后。 When Taizong succeeded, she was styled Empress Dowager.

初，太祖嘗謂太宗必興我家，后欲令皇太子倍避之，太祖冊倍為東丹王。 Taizu had once said Taizong would raise their line; the empress wanted Crown Prince Bei to step aside, and Taizu made Bei king of Eastern Dan.

太祖崩，太宗立，東丹王避之唐。 After Taizu's death Taizong took the throne, and the Eastern Dan king fled to Tang.

太宗崩，世宗即位於鎮陽，太后怒，遣李胡以兵逆擊。 When Taizong died Shizong was enthroned at Zhenyang; the dowager, enraged, sent Lihu with an army against him.

太宗靖安皇后蕭氏，小字温，淳欽皇后弟室魯之女。 Empress Jing'an (Xiao), wife of Taizong, childhood name Wen, daughter of Shilu, younger brother of Empress Chunqin.

帝從太宗南征得之，寵遇甚厚，生寧王只沒。 The emperor took her on Taizong's southern campaign and favored her deeply; she bore Prince of Ning Zhimie.
