宦者林延遇、宮人盧瓊仙，內外專恣為殺戮，晟不復省。 The eunuch Lin Yanyu and the palace woman Lu Qiongxian wielded unchecked power inside and out to kill at will; Sheng no longer attended to affairs.

晟性剛忌，不能任臣下，而獨任其嬖倖宦官、宮婢延遇、瓊仙等。 Sheng was harsh and jealous by nature, could not employ his ministers, and relied solely on his favorites — the eunuchs and palace women Yanyu, Qiongxian, and the rest.

鋹於內殿設帳幄，陳寶貝，胡子冠遠遊冠，衣紫霞裾，坐帳中宣禍福，呼鋹為太子皇帝，國事皆決於胡子，盧瓊仙、龔澄樞等爭附之。 Chang set up curtains in the inner hall and displayed treasures; Huzi wore the Far Roaming cap and purple cloud skirts, sat within the curtains proclaiming fortune and calamity, called Chang the Crown Prince Emperor, and all state affairs were decided by Huzi. Lu Qiongxian, Gong Chengsu, and the rest vied to attach themselves to her.
