后少寡，攜其三子傭食蕭縣人劉崇家。 Widowed young, she hired out her three sons as laborers in the household of Liu Chong of Xiao County.

崇患太祖慵墮不作業，數加笞責，獨崇母憐之，時時自為櫛沐，戒家人曰：「朱三非常人也，宜善遇之！」 Chong hated Taizu’s idleness and beat him often; only Chong’s mother pitied him, bathing and combing his hair herself, and told the family: “Zhu the Third is no ordinary man—treat him kindly!”

乃遣人以車馬之蕭縣，迎后於崇家。 He then sent carriages and escorts to Xiao County to fetch the empress from the Chong household.
