The Third Princess of Qianlong: Empress Xiaoxian's only blood, but became Qianlong's longest-lived daughter

Qianlong has a total of ten biological daughters, but only five adults, and the longest-lived and only daughter over 60 years old is the third daughter of the emperor, Gu Lun and Princess Jing. Princess Hejing, as the only bone and blood of Empress Xiaoxian, was deeply favored by Qianlong and carried many records.

Princess Hejing's mother was Qianlong's original empress Xiaoxian, who had given birth to two sons and two daughters for Qianlong, the emperor's second son Yonglian, the emperor's seventh son Yong zhen and the emperor's eldest daughter all died early, and the only adult was the third daughter of the emperor and princess Jing. Although the successor empress Nala also gave birth to the fifth daughter of the emperor for Qianlong, the fifth daughter of the emperor only lived for 7 years, so Princess Hejing became the only adult concubine of Qianlong.

In the twelfth year of Qianlong, the 17-year-old Princess Hejing married Sebuteng Balejul, who came from the Mongolian Horqin Province, and her grandmother was Princess Gulun Duanmin, the adopted daughter of the Shunzhi Emperor, who was also considered a relative of the emperor. It is said that this Sebuteng Balejul was raised in the palace at the age of 9, studied with the princes, and at the age of 12, he was named the Duke of Fuguo, becoming the youngest Fuguo Duke in the history of the Qing Dynasty.

Although Princess Hejing's husband Sebuteng Balejul was a Mongol prince, Qianlong could not bear to love his daughter away from him, and made an exception to let the princess stay in the Beijing Division, thus setting a precedent for the distantly married princess to stay in the Beijing Division. According to the regulations, princesses who stay in the Beijing Division can only receive 400 taels of silver a year, and princesses who marry far away can receive 1,000 taels. However, Princess Hejing, who stayed in the Capital Division for an exception, still enjoyed the treatment of a distant princess and received 1,000 taels of silver. Moreover, the mansion where Princess Hejing lived became the only princess mansion of the Qing Dynasty of Gulun rank.

In the war to quell the rebellion of the Dzungars, Erbuten Balejul had connived at Amir Sana and was punished according to the law, but Qianlong took care of Princess Hejing, after all, she was the only blood of Xiaoxian, how could she bear to let her be widowed, so she was spared the death penalty of Sebuteng Balejul.

In the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong (1792), Princess Hejing died in the city of Beijing at the age of 62, becoming Qianlong's longest-lived daughter.
