后姊為周明帝后，長女為周宣帝后，貴戚之盛，莫與為比，而后每謙卑自守，世以為賢。 Her elder sister was empress to Emperor Ming of Northern Zhou, and her eldest daughter became empress to Emperor Xuan; no consort kin in the realm was more exalted. Yet the empress always kept herself humble and restrained, and the world regarded her as worthy.
