Princess Hejing of the First Rank (固倫和敬公主; 31 July 1731 – 30 September 1792), was a princess of the Qing dynasty as the third daughter of the Qianlong Emperor. Her mother was Empress Xiaoxianchun.[1]

Life

The third princess was born on 31 July 1731, when her mother was still a primary consort, and was raised by Dowager Consort Chunyuqin, a consort of the Kangxi Emperor. She was bestowed the title of "Princess Hejing of the First Rank" (固伦和敬公主; "hejing" meaning "harmonious and respectful"), after the enthronement of the Qianlong Emperor.[2]

In 1746, Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared a dowry worth of 2500 taels, and in April 1747, she married the Mongolian prince Sevdenbaljir of the Borjigin clan. Her wedding banquet was held in the Hall of Preserving Harmony in the Forbidden City.

She continued to collect her meals from the palace. This kind of treatment was equal to that of an Imperial Noble Consort, foreshadowing the indulgence later received by her younger half-sisters Princess Hejing and Princess Hexiao.[3]

The princess gave birth to 4 daughters and 1 son, Eleke Temur Babai (personally named by her father).[4] Her first daughter married Yonghuang's son, Miande, while her fourth daughter married Fengshenhulun, a son of Princess Hejia of the Second Rank. After the marriage, the princess continued lavish lifestyle—her annual expenses reached 15.000 taels, while her allowance was 80.000 taels.

In 1772, she was awarded together with her half-sister and Princess Shushen of the Second Rank, sixth daughter of deposed the crown prince, Yunreng.

Sevdenbaljir died in 1775, leaving her widowed. Princess Hejing didn't remarry and died on 30 September 1792. Her coffin was interred in a tomb in Chaoyang District, Beijing.
