海陵欲伐宋，珫因極言宋劉貴妃絕色傾國。 When Hailing planned to attack the Song, Chong lavished praise on Consort Liu of Song, declaring her beauty unmatched and enough to topple a kingdom.

海陵大喜，及南征將行，命縣君高師姑兒貯衾褥之新潔者俟得劉貴妃用之。 Hailing was delighted. As the southern campaign was about to begin, he ordered the county lady Gao Shigu'er to lay aside fresh, clean bedding for the day when Consort Liu would be his.
