The next day, Jiangxi palace, the Imperial Palace.
Jianxi Palace and Xincheng like the Emperor and Empress were two halves as a pair. They were designed to embody the true aspects of the divine union between the Emperor and Empress. They were not just similar in design but were a walking distance away from each other.
Jianxi palace like Xincheng Palace was the Empress's official palace. Separated from Xincheng by a garden and pond, Jiangxi palace has housed many generations of Empresses starting from the founding dynasty. It was a self-sufficient palace with every modern amenities, due to the frequent reconstruction carried out before every new Empress moves in.
In the same courtyard, just behind the Palace was a smaller palace. Where the Empress children were housed at a younger age until they moved into their palace and a private residence.
