至元二十四年，乃顏叛，帝親征，勝直武帳中，雖親王不得輒至。 In 1287, when Nayan rebelled, the emperor led the campaign in person. Sheng stayed in the military headquarters throughout, and even princes were not allowed to approach without permission.

乃顏既敗，帝還都，乘輿夜行，足苦寒，勝解衣，以身溫之。 After Nayan's defeat, as the emperor made the night journey back to the capital, his feet grew bitterly cold. Sheng took off his own clothes and warmed them against his body.
