幼聰警博學，明老、易，善談玄，風采清越，特為元帝所愛，母王氏又有寵。 As a boy he was clever, widely learned, versed in the Laozi and Changes, skilled at metaphysical discourse, of refined bearing, and especially beloved by Emperor Yuan; his mother Lady Wang was also favored.

母王氏，王琳之次姊，元帝即位，拜貴嬪，次妹又為良人，並蒙寵倖，方略益鍾愛。 His mother Lady Wang was Wang Lin's second elder sister; when Emperor Yuan took the throne she became Honored Consort, and her younger sister became Honored Lady; both were favored, and Fanglue was especially doted on.

貴嬪、良人並更誕子，未出合，無封失名。 The Honored Consort and Honored Lady each bore more sons; they had not yet left the inner quarters, received no titles, and their names are unrecorded.
