十八年，初，宣公愛夫人夷姜，夷姜生子伋，以為太子，而令右公子傅之。 In the eighteenth year, initially Duke Xuan loved his wife Yi Jiang. Yi Jiang gave birth to a son named Ji, whom he made crown prince, and commanded the right prince to tutor him.

右公子為太子取齊女，未入室，而宣公見所欲為太子婦者好，說而自取之，更為太子取他女。 The right prince took a Qi woman for the crown prince. She had not yet entered the chamber, but Duke Xuan saw that the one desired to be the crown prince's wife was beautiful, was pleased and took her himself, and changed to take another woman for the crown prince.
