《明史·列传·卷二》
不久，廷臣请求在忌日祭祀，世宗仍对前议耿耿于怀，所以答复说： 孝烈皇后是后立的皇后，她所侍奉的又是外藩入继的皇帝，忌日不祭祀也是可以的。 
已而请忌日祭，帝犹衔前议，报曰： 孝烈继后，所奉者又入继之君，忌不祭亦可。 
Not long afterward, the court ministers requested to offer sacrifices on the anniversary of the empress's death, but Emperor Shizong still harboured resentment against the previous discussion, so he replied: The empress Xiaoli was appointed after the founding of the dynasty, and the emperor she attended to was an emperor related to the imperial clan through marriage, so it is not necessary to sacrifice to her on the anniversary of her death.
