時勞乃宣充議員，與同院內閣學士陳寶琛等，於無夫奸及違犯教令二條尤力持不少怠，而分則遂未議決。 At the time Lao Naixuan served as a councilor; together with fellow councilor Grand Secretary Chen Baochen and others, he especially held firm without yielding on the two articles concerning adultery without a husband and violation of parental commands, but the Specific Provisions were never decided.

七年，庶子陳寶琛以星變陳言，專劾寶鋆，請仿漢災異策免三公故事，立予罷斥。 In 1881 Sub-Reader Chen Baochen, citing a celestial omen, impeached Bao Yun alone and asked that he be dismissed at once, following the Han precedent of removing the three highest ministers after calamitous signs.

陳寶琛謂其畏難巧卸，瞻徇情面，亦不能確有所指。 Chen Baochen accuses him of shirking hard tasks and showing favoritism, yet cannot point to anything specific.

往者詞臣率雍容養望，自之洞喜言事，同時寶廷、陳寶琛、張佩綸輩崛起，糾彈時政，號為清流。 Court literati had long cultivated reputation in comfortable ease; once Zhidong took to remonstrance, Bao Ting, Chen Baochen, Zhang Peilun, and others rose with him to criticize policy and were known as the Pure Stream faction.

侍讀學士陳寶琛糾彈之，上命允升往按，廉得實，承審官皆懲辦如律。 Reader-in-waiting Chen Baochen impeached him; the emperor sent Yunsheng to investigate, established the facts, and all trial officials were punished as the law required.

江西學政陳寶琛疏請以先儒黃宗羲、顧炎武從祀文廟，議者多以爲未可，家鼐與潘祖蔭、翁同龢、孫詒經等再請，始議准。 When the Jiangxi educational commissioner Chen Baochen memorialized that the earlier Confucians Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu be admitted to sacrifices in the Confucian temple, many officials argued against it. Jianai joined Pan Zuyin, Weng Tonghe, Sun Yijing, and others in petitioning again, and only then was the proposal approved.

宣統三年，伊克坦與大學士陸潤庠及侍郎陳寶琛，同奉命直毓慶宮，朝夕入講，遇事進言，憂勤彌甚。 In the third year of Xuantong, Yi Ketan, Grand Secretary Lu Runxiang, and Vice Minister Chen Baochen were alike ordered to serve at the Yuqing Palace; they lectured morning and evening, spoke up when matters arose, and their worry and diligence only grew.

丁巳復辟，潤庠已前卒，寶琛為議政大臣，伊克坦一不爭權位，日進講如故。 At the 1917 restoration Runxiang had already died; Baochen served as a deliberative minister, and Yi Ketan alone did not contend for power or position, lecturing daily as before.
