後定州弟升為侍御中散，有寵於顯祖，以祖父洛兒著勳先朝，詔復定州爵為公。 Later Dingzhou's younger brother Sheng became an attendant in the imperial escort and won favor with Emperor Xianzu; because their grandfather Luoer had earned distinction under the previous reign, an edict restored Dingzhou's rank to duke.

子陵，襲升爵。 His son Ling inherited the title that Sheng had held.

子陵襲升爵按上不言升封何爵，疑傳有脫文。 "Son Ling inherited Sheng's title": the text above does not say what title Sheng held; the biography appears to have lost wording here.
