大學士李賢言：「公恂，至聖後，贊善司馬恂，宋大賢溫國公光後，宜輔導太子。」 Grand Secretary Li Xian said: "Gongxun descends from the Supreme Sage; Instructor Sima Xun descends from the great Song worthy Sima Guang, Duke of Wen—they are fit to tutor the crown prince."

孝肅皇后者，憲宗生母，方以皇貴妃有寵，於是具冠服拜謝，宮中傳為盛事雲。 Empress Xiaosu was the Xianzong emperor's birth mother and then held favor as Imperial Noble Consort; she donned full court dress and bowed in thanks, and the palace hailed it as a signal honor.
