Princess Yong'an (永安公主, 20 July 1377 – 26 January 1417), born Zhu Yuying[2] (朱玉英), was a princess of the Ming dynasty. She was the oldest daughter of the Yongle Emperor and the elder sister of the Hongxi Emperor.
Zhu Yuying was born on 20 July 1377, to Zhu Di, who held at that time the title of Prince Yan (燕王), and his primary consort, Lady Xu.[3]
When her father ascended the throne, she was honoured as Princess Yong'an (永安公主) and her husband was awarded the title of Prince Consort (駙馬). Later, her husband was granted the title of Marquis of Guangping.[4]
Zhu Yuying had six siblings by the same mother: Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, Princess Yongping, Princess Ancheng and Princess Xianning.[3] Furthermore, she had two half-siblings from her father's concubines: Princess Changning and Zhu Gaoxi.
The princess was married to Yuan Rong, with whom she had four children: one son and three daughters.[4][5] Her son, Yuan Zhen, inherited his father title and became the second Marquis Guangping.
Princess Yong'an died on 26 January 1417 of unknown causes. She was buried in Fangshan, Beijing.[1]
