The only princess of the Qing Dynasty who could name the city accompanied Qianlong for 61 years and enjoyed the treatment of emperor after his death

In the central and western part of Jilin Province, on the right bank of the middle reaches of the Dongliao River, there is a beautiful city called Gongzhuling, and the origin of the name of this city is related to a Princess of the Qing Dynasty, who is the only concubine of the Qianlong Emperor, Princess Gulun and Jing.

On May 24, 1999, Princess Hejing was born in the Western Second House of the Forbidden City, the third daughter of Qianlong (Hongli), and her mother was Empress Xiaoxian of the Fucha clan. Fu Cha clan is the daughter-in-law designated by Yongzheng himself, who came from the yellow flag at the head of the three banners, the family has been a high-ranking official, and Hongli can be said to be a door-to-door pair, Hongli is also very satisfied with the Fu Jin designated by his father, after marriage, the two are very affectionate, and in just a few years they have three children, including the third daughter and Princess Jing.

However, because Qianlong's first two daughters died early, Hejing was in fact the eldest daughter of Qianlong, and at the same time she was born to the Fucha clan of Concubine Fufu, so she was also a veritable eldest daughter. It is precisely because of the special status that Hejing has been loved by his father Qianlong since he was a child, for example, Qing Dynasty princesses generally only get the title of princess when they are about to get married, but Qianlong just succeeded to the throne, and he Jing, who was only five years old, was a Princess of Gulun, and there was a Qing generation, only this one case.

Moreover, Qianlong was also very concerned about the marriage of his daughter Hejing, and early on selected a donkey for his daughter, who was a young prince from the Mongolian Horqin Department, named Sebuteng Balejul. What is the origin of this Sebten-Balejul? Being able to marry Qianlong's only concubine proved that the origin of this little prince was really unusual.

Sebuteng Balejul was the grandson of Prince Manzhu Xili of Horqin's left-wing Zhongqi Darhan, who was the brother of Empress Xiaozhuang. In addition, Sebuteng Balejul was also the grandson of Princess Gulun Duanmin, the adopted daughter of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, who was not from a simple origin, her father was Prince Jian (King of iron hats) Jidu, her mother was the sister of Empress Xiaohuizhang, and her adoptive mother was Empress Xiaohuizhang.

It can be said that the Horqin tribe and the Aisin Kyaw Lo family have been married for generations, and Princess Hejing and Sebuteng Balejul can be said to be close to each other.

It is said that when Sebuten Balejul was nine years old, Qianlong took him to the palace to raise him, studied with the princes, and treated him as half a son. In March of the twelfth year of Qianlong, the 16-year-old Princess Hejing married Sebuteng Balejul, and since Hejing was Qianlong's only concubine, Qianlong loved her daughter and could not bear to stay away from him, so he allowed her to stay in the Capital Division and built a princess mansion of the Gulun rank for her.

Unexpectedly, however, at the end of the year of Hejing's marriage, her newborn brother Qi'a Ge Yongqun died of smallpox, followed by her mother, Empress Xiaoxian, on the way to the East. The continuous loss of her brother and mother is a very heavy blow to Kazuyoshi, but she must be strong, because she knows that she is the only blood that her mother has left for her father.

Qianlong also loved this only surviving concubine, and it is said that when Princess Hejing was 24 years old, Qianlong built a treasure house, named "Liuhejing", and placed 5240 treasure amulets in it to bless her daughter with a long life. Moreover, Qianlong also personally named the son born to his daughter, orzheitmur Erkebabai. In addition, Qianlong also married his daughter and the daughter born to Jing to Miande, the eldest son of the emperor's eldest son Yong Huang (equivalent to marrying his granddaughter to his grandson).

However, this donkey made Qianlong a little uneasy. It is said that this Sebuteng Balejul was once appointed by his father-in-law Qianlong to supervise Amusana, but he did not expect that this Amusarna had raised the banner of rebellion, which made Qianlong Longyan furious and originally wanted to execute this son-in-law, but considering his daughter Hejing, he had to avoid his death, but he also stripped him of the title of Sebuteng Balejul, and from then on, the title of Prince of Darhan was transferred to the line of Sewang Norbu, the brother of Sebuten Balejul.

Later, Sebuteng Balejul was killed on the battlefield during the conquest of Jinchuan, so he was restored to the throne, and finally saved a little face for Princess Hejing.

In the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong, 17 years after the death of her husband Sebuteng Balejul, Princess Hejing, who accompanied her father Qianlong for 61 years, died of illness in Beijing at the age of 62 (imaginary age), and was subsequently buried in the eastern suburbs, and Qianlong personally inscribed an inscription for his daughter. Moreover, Qianlong also ordered people to build a crown tomb in the territory of his daughter Hejing, named the Princess Mausoleum, in ancient times, only the emperor's tomb could be called a mausoleum, and Qianlong actually called the tomb of his daughter a mausoleum, which shows the status of this daughter in Qianlong's heart, which is also the origin of the name of the city of Gongzhuling today.
