《宋史·列传·卷五十》
当时太后仍代行皇帝的职权，每五日来一次承明殿，垂帘听政，裁决大事，而宋仁宗却未曾单独接见臣下。
时太后犹称制，五日一御承明殿，垂帘决事，而仁宗未尝独对群臣也。
At that time, the empress dowager was still acting as regent. Every five days, she came to the Chengming Hall, held court behind a curtain, and made decisions on major issues, while Emperor Renzong of Song did not meet with his ministers in person.
