友文妻王氏有色，尤寵之。 Youwen’s wife, Lady Wang, was beautiful, and Taizu favored her above all.

太祖病久，王氏與友珪妻張氏，常專房侍疾。 During Taizu’s long illness, Lady Wang and Yougui’s wife Zhang attended him alone in his chambers.

太祖病少間，謂王氏曰：「吾知終不起，汝之東都，召友文來，吾與之決。」 When Taizu briefly rallied, he told Lady Wang: “I know I will not recover. Go to the eastern capital, summon Youwen, and I will settle matters with him.”
