    初,明帝為王,始納河內虞氏為妃,帝即位,虞氏不得立為后,太皇后卞太后慰勉焉。虞氏曰:「曹氏自好立賤,未有能以義舉者也。然后職內事,君聽外政,其道相由而成,苟不能以善始,未有能令終者也。殆必由此亡國喪祀矣!」虞氏遂絀還鄴宮。進嘉為奉車都尉,曾騎都尉,寵賜隆渥。頃之,封嘉博平鄉侯,遷光祿大夫,曾駙馬都尉。嘉本典虞車工,卒暴富貴,明帝令朝臣會其家飲宴,其容止舉動甚蚩騃,語輒自謂「侯身」,時人以為笑。 〈孫盛曰:古之王者,必求令淑以對揚至德,恢王化於關雎,致淳風於麟趾。及臻三季,並亂茲緒,義以情溺,位由寵昏,貴賤無章,下陵上替,興衰隆廢,皆是物也。魏自武王,暨於烈祖,三后之升,起自幽賤,本既卑矣,何以長世?詩云:「絺兮绤兮,淒其以風。」其此之謂乎! 〉后又加嘉位特進,曾遷散騎侍郎。青龍三年,嘉薨,追贈光祿大夫,改封安國侯,增邑五百,並前千戶,諡曰節侯。四年,追封后母夏為野王君。
