蒲察氏
Lady Pucha
蒲察氏，字明秀，鄜州帥訥申之女，完顏長樂之妻也。
Lady Pucha, styled Mingxiu, was a daughter of Neshen, military commander of Fu Prefecture, and the wife of Wanyan Changle.
將行，屬蒲察氏曰：「無他言，夫人慎毋辱此身。」
Before he left, he told Lady Pucha, "I will say nothing more—only take care not to bring shame upon yourself."
明秀曰：「君第致身事上，無以妾為念。
Mingxiu replied, "Devote yourself to the sovereign; do not worry about me.
長樂一子在幼，出妻柴氏所生也，明秀撫育如己出。
Changle had a young son by his former wife, Lady Chai; Mingxiu raised him as her own.
蒲察氏聞，以幼子付婢僕，且與之金幣，親具衣棺祭物，與家人訣曰：「崔立不道，強人妻女，兵在城下，吾何所逃，惟一死不負吾夫耳。
When she heard, she entrusted her young son to the servants with gold and coins, prepared her own burial garments and offerings, and bade her household farewell: "Cui Li is a villain who seizes men's wives and daughters; with the enemy at the walls I have nowhere to flee. Only by dying can I keep faith with my husband.
