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.

王因與其姊翁主姦。 Instead the king took his sister, that same princess, as his secret lover.

脩成君有女娥，太后欲嫁之於諸侯。 The princess had a daughter, E, whom her mother hoped to marry off to a feudal king.

偃至齊，急治王後宮宦者為王通於姊翁主所者，辭及王。 Zhufu Yan reached Linzi and turned the screws on the harem eunuchs who had facilitated the king's visits to the princess; their testimony pointed straight at the king.
