I've already made a note about succession on the page for the Jiaqing Emperor, but I thought it should be noted that Mianning had an elder brother, Mianmu. Wikipedia doesn't have information on him, but if Mianning is said to be the eldest (Is he? I can't remember, but it sounds right), then Mianmu must have died by the time of Throne Of Jade. This also means that the emperor's third son (only mentioned) must be Mianxin. Almaron 14:48, 8 September 2010 (PDT)

Wikipedia has a bit more info via the articles on the Jiaqing Emperor's consorts. Hitara, Empress Shu Rui, married him in 1774 and was the mother of Miannu (who died in infancy) and Mianning, as well as at least one daughter; Hitara died in 1797. Niuhuru, Empress He Rui, became a court lady in 1795 and was the mother of Miankai (1795-1838?), Mianxin (1805-1828?), and one or two daughters-- interestingly, Niuhuru's article says that the Jiaqing Emperor died without leaving a succession decree, and *she* was the one who named her stepson as the next emperor. --Wombat1138 18:59, 8 September 2010 (PDT)
