《宋史·列传·卷一》
太后说： 大长公主，是太宗皇帝之女，先帝的妹妹啊；你只不过是一个赵家老妇，难道能跟她们相比吗？ 旧制赐给大臣茶，有龙凤纹饰，太后说： 这难道是做人臣的人能得到的吗？ 命令有关部门另外制作入香京挺赐给大臣。
太后曰： 大长公主，太宗皇帝女，先帝诸妹也；若赵家老妇，宁可比耶？ 旧赐大臣茶，有龙凤饰，太后曰： 此岂人臣可得？ 命有司别制入香京挺以赐之。
The Empress Dowager said: "The Grand Princess is the daughter of Emperor Taizong, and the younger sister of the late emperor; you are just an old woman of the Zhao family, how can you compare with them?" The old system was to give tea to the ministers, with dragon and phoenix decorations. The Empress Dowager said: "Is this something that a subject can have?" She ordered the relevant departments to make other scented Beijing Ding to give to the ministers.
