時妃年尚幼，有幽州偏將武從諫者，駐騑於家，見妃韶令，乃為其子聘之。 She was still young when a subordinate commander from Youzhou named Wu Congjian was billeted at her home; struck by her grace, he betrothed her to his son.

武氏家在太原。 The Wu family lived in Taiyuan.

熔死，鎮州亂，莊宗遣幽州符存審以兵討張文禮，裨將武從諫館於妃家，見妃尚幼，憐之，而從諫家在太原，遂以妃歸，為其子婦。 After Rong's death threw Zhen Prefecture into chaos, Zhuangzong sent Fu Cunjian from Youzhou against Zhang Wenli. The subordinate commander Wu Congjian was quartered at her family's house, took pity on the girl still in her youth, and—his own family being in Taiyuan—brought her home as a daughter-in-law.
