詔曰：「士處家必以孝敬為本，在朝則以忠節為先，不然，何以立身於當世，揚名於後代也。 An edict declared: "A man at home must root himself in filial piety and respect, and at court must put loyalty and integrity first; without these, how could he establish himself in his own age or leave a name to posterity?

太宗亦敬納之，寵待隆厚，賞賜無數，當時功臣親幸莫及。 Emperor Taizong likewise respected and heeded him; his favor was lavish and his gifts beyond counting, and among the meritorious ministers of the day none enjoyed such intimacy.

及即位，以為中書侍郎，拾遺左右，寵待彌深，而魯元益加謹肅，世祖逾親信之，內外大臣莫不敬憚焉。 When Shizu took the throne, Luyuan was made Vice Director of the Secretariat with the duty of remonstrance at the emperor's side; his favor deepened, yet Luyuan grew only more grave and careful, and the emperor trusted him all the more, so that ministers within and without the court all regarded him with respect and awe.

岱宗隔望秩之敬，青徐限見德之風。 Mount Tai stood cut off from the rites of ranked sacrifice, and Qing and Xu were barred from the transforming breeze of imperial virtue.

拔尚華陰公主，生子敬。 Ba married the Princess of Huayin and fathered Jing.

元紹之逆也，主有功，超授敬大司馬、大將軍，封長樂王。 During Yuan Shao's revolt the princess rendered distinguished service, and Jing was abruptly promoted to Grand Marshal and Grand General and enfeoffed as Prince of Changle.

按卷三太宗紀永興三年十二月甲午見「任城公嵇拔」，泰常四年甲戌，記「獻懷長公主子嵇敬封長樂王」，與此傳合。 Juan 3 of the Taizong Annals, twelfth month of Yongxing year 3 (day jiawu), records "Duke of Rencheng Ji Ba," and Taichang year 4 (day jiaxu) records "Ji Jing, son of the Elder Princess of Xianhuai, enfeoffed as Prince of Changle," which agrees with this biography.
