| + | Even after marriage, Shinanomiya remained closely involved in socializing with the Imperial family, spending a great deal of time with her father, his consorts, or other prominent court ladies. Whether she spent so much time at the palace because her husband was frequently away, or whether he spent so much time away because she was so frequently at the palace is unclear. But she visited constantly with her mother and other close relations, and after the death of Go-Mizunoo in [[1680]], she became close with her half-brother, the Retired Emperor Go-Sai (r. 1654-1662). Meanwhile, relations between her brother Emperor Reigen (1663-1686) and just about everyone in the family were comparatively rather strained, and so after her father's death, Shinanomiya became more closely involved with the Konoe family. |
