== Biography ==
In 1806, '''Prince Mianning''', the eldest of the [[Jiaqing Emperor]]'s three sons, was about twenty years old. He was known as the Crown Prince of China, and the heir apparent to the Imperial throne. He was companion to a male [[Celestial]] dragon, [[Lung Tien Chuan]], who was Temeraire's twin brother.

[[Temeraire]] and [[William Laurence]] exposed and blocked an attempted coup by the emperor's brother [[Prince Yongxing]], who hoped to place Mianning's younger brother [[Prince Miankai]] on the throne and take control as imperial regent.

==Deviations from history==
Historically, Mianning was the second-born and only surviving son of the [[Jiaqing Emperor]] and his first consort, Hitara (posthumously, the Empress Xiao Shu Rui); their first-born son, Prince Mianmu, died in infancy.

The Jiaqing Emperor died without naming a successor. His widow, Niuhuru (Empress Xiao He Rui), used her authority as dowager empress to name her stepson the next emperor, bypassing her own two sons Miankai and Mianxin.

-In 1812, Temeraire reunited with Prince Mianning during his visit to China with Laurence and the British envoy.
-After the death of [[Lung Tien Chuan]], Temeraire accepted the proposal of [[Lung Qin Mei]] to try and conceive a Celestial egg to be the prince's new companion. Despite several matings, however, Mei and Temeraire failed to produce an egg. Instead, the egg of Temeraire and [[Iskierka]] was left under Imperial care in China, with the hopes that it may hatch into a new Celestial to be the prince's companion, and thus, return Mianning his full royal status.
