At Toungoo (Taungoo), she became a minor queen, living off the palace in a house located in the Laygyun Garden. She came to be known as Laygyun Mibaya (lit. "Queen of Laygyun").[1] In 1545, Tabinshwehti married his minor queen off to Zeya Nanda, who would later be known as Minkhaung II.[2]
She had five children all by Minkhaung II. Her eldest son Minye Thihathu II married his first cousin Min Khin Saw, daughter of King Bayinnaung and Queen Sanda Dewi.[3] All three of her daughters were married to their first cousin King Nanda in 1582.[4]
