安陵爰叔者，爰盎兄子也，與偃善，謂偃曰：「足下私侍漢主，挾不測之罪，將欲安處乎？」 Yuanshu of Anling was the nephew of Yuan Ang; he was on good terms with Yan and said to Yan: "You privately serve the Han ruler, bearing immeasurable crime—where do you intend to end up?"

爰叔曰：「顧城廟遠無宿宮，又有萩竹籍田，足下何不白主獻長門園？ Yuanshu said: "Consider that the suburban altars are far and have no lodging palace, and there is also reed bamboo and the ritual field—why do you not report to the princess to offer the Changmen garden?

主大喜，使偃以黃金百斤為爰叔壽。 Overjoyed, she sent Dong Yan with a hundred jin of gold to thank Yuanshu.

叔因是為董君畫求見上之策，令主稱疾不朝。 Yuanshu then arranged Dong Yan's introduction: the princess was to feign illness and skip court.
