答己妃子 （弘吉列氏。大德十一年尊為皇太后，延祐二年上尊號曰儀天興聖慈仁（明）昭懿壽元（合）全德泰寧福慶皇太后，七年又尊曰太皇太后，加徽文崇祐尊號。至治三年崩，諡曰昭獻元聖皇后。后性聰慧，然不事檢飭，及正位東朝，淫恣益甚，內則黑驢母亦列失八用事，外則幸臣失列門、紐鄰等及時宰迭木帖兒怙寵作非，濁亂朝政。及英宗立，羣倖誅，而後勢燄少熄焉。） Consort Daji (Kongirat; honored as Empress Dowager in 1307; in 1315 given the lengthy honorific Empress Dowager Yitian Xingsheng Ciren Zhaoyi Shouyuan Quande Taining Fuqing; raised to Grand Empress Dowager in 1320 with the added epithet Weiwen Chongyou; died in 1322 and was posthumously titled Empress Zhaoxian Yuansheng). She was clever but unrestrained; once established in the Eastern Palace her excesses deepened. Within the palace the "Black Donkey Mother" Yilieshiba dominated affairs; outside, favorites such as Shiliemen and Niulin, together with chief minister Tiemudier, abused imperial favor and corrupted government. After Gegeen acceded, this whole clique was executed and her influence waned.
