《论衡·卷二·幸偶篇》
靠花言巧语长得漂亮得宠的人，象闳孺、籍孺之类，无德少才，专靠容貌美丽取悦君主，看来不该受庞的却被宠，不当亲近的却受到亲信，这是不合道理的，所以太史公为他们作传记。
佞幸之徒，闳孺、籍孺之辈，无德薄才，以色称媚，不宜爱而受宠，不当亲而得附，非道理之宜。
People who rely on flowery words to get beautiful favors, like Hong Ru and Ji Ru, have no virtue and little talent, and rely on their beautiful appearance to please the monarch. It seems that they should not be favored by Pang but are favored, and should not be intimate but are trusted, which is unreasonable, so Taishigong wrote a biography for them.
