《明史·列传·卷一》
太祖在前殿决断政事，时常大发雷霆，马皇后总是等他退朝回宫后，根据不同情况巧妙地规劝太祖。
帝前殿决事，或震怒，后伺帝还宫，辄随事微谏。
The First Emperor settled state affairs in the front hall and was often furious, so Empress Ma always waited until he returned to the palace after retiring from the court and used wisdom to persuade the First Emperor based on the circumstances.
