遇休日，使者至第召之，而皇后亦使尚宮勞琚母，賜賚接足，群臣不能無望。 On holidays messengers fetched him from home, and the empress sent ladies to honor his mother with endless gifts, to the envy of the court.

始，琚為中書侍郎，母居洛陽，來京師，讓琚曰：「爾家上世皆州縣職，今汝無攻城野戰勞，以謅佞取容，海內切齒，吾恐汝家墳墓無人復掃除也。」 When Ju was vice director, his mother came from Luoyang and rebuked him: "Our forebears held only local office; you won favor by flattery without battlefield merit—the realm despises you, and I fear no one will tend our graves."
