太后取其弟紀氏女為王后，王不愛。 She married him to a niece of her own Ji clan, but the king cared nothing for his Ji queen.

紀太后欲其家重寵，令其長女紀翁主入王宮正其後宮無令得近王，欲令愛紀氏女。 Empress Dowager Ji meant to keep power in her kin: she installed her eldest daughter, a princess by the Ji surname, inside the palace to police the harem and keep other women from the king's bed, hoping to force his affection onto the Ji girl.
