太子性剛，知賈謐恃後之貴，不能假借之。 The crown prince's temper was stiff; knowing Jia Mi relied on the empress's power, he would not indulge him.

謐至東宮，或舍之而於後庭遊戲。 When Mi came to the Eastern Palace he sometimes left him waiting while he played in the inner courts.

詹事裴權諫曰：「賈謐甚有寵于中宮，而有不順之色，若一旦交構，大事去矣。 Household Superintendent Pei Quan remonstrated: "Jia Mi is deeply favored in the inner palace yet shows disrespectful looks—if they ever turn on you, the great enterprise is lost.

太子聞衍長女美，而賈后為謐聘之，心不能平，頗以為言。 The crown prince heard Wang's elder daughter was beautiful while the empress betrothed her to Jia Mi; his heart could not rest easy and he spoke of it often.

謐嘗與太子圍棋，爭道，成都王穎見而訶謐，謐意愈不平，因此譖太子于後曰：「太子廣買田業，多畜私財以結小人者，為賈氏故也。 Once while playing go with the crown prince Mi quarreled over a move; Ying, Prince of Chengdu, saw and rebuked Mi; Mi grew more resentful and slandered the crown prince to the empress: "The crown prince buys fields wholesale, hoards private wealth, and courts petty men—all because of the Jia clan.
