Princess Daiyu of Heshuo Wenke

Daiyu was the twenty-eighth daughter of Emperor Kangxi, and her birth order was the twenty-sixth princess. Her birth mother was Consort Jin, née Yu.

Yu's background was quite impressive; she was the daughter of Yu Chenglong, the Governor-General of Liangjiang. Yu Chenglong was later awarded the title of First-Class Yunqiwei for his meritorious service in exposing Nalan Mingzhu and Yu Guozhu for selling official positions and titles.

In the twenty-sixth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, four years after entering the palace, Lady Yu gave birth to Daiyu.

After that, Lady Yu was Noble Lady Jin, Consort Jin, and Imperial Concubine Jin.

However, even though Yu Chenglong held a high official position, being a First-Class Yunqiwei and the Governor-General of Liangjiang, it couldn't change Daiyu's fate of being married off to Mongolia for a political alliance.

In the 45th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Daiyu was granted the title of Princess Heshuo Wenke and married off to the Ongniud tribe of Mongolia. Her husband was Cangjin of the Ongniud tribe, a Taiji of the Ongniud tribe.

Emperor Kangxi prepared a lavish dowry for Princess Wenke, and Consort Jin and Yu Chenglong also prepared generous additional dowries. However, this could not change Princess Wenke's fate of being unfavored after marrying into the Ongniud tribe.

However, Princess Wenke married into the Ongniud tribe and soon became pregnant, giving birth to a son.

So although he fell out of favor later, it didn't matter.

In the seventeenth year of the Gan'an era, Princess Wenke died of illness in the Ongniud tribe. Compared to the historical Princess Wenke who died young, this Princess Wenke in a parallel universe was happy.

Princess Rouyi of the Heshuo Quejing

Rouyi was the daughter of Consort Yuan, born in the 28th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign.

In the 46th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Princess Rouyi was bestowed the title of Princess Heshuo Quejing and married Sun Chengyun, a Han Chinese official. Sun Chengyun later rose to the rank of Minister of the Imperial Household.

Princess Quejing and Sun Chengyun had no real feelings for each other; their interactions were mostly just routine.

In the sixth year of the Qian'an era, Princess Quejing died of illness in her palace, having no children of her own.

Princess Quejing is not extensively documented in the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty: Records of the Princess's Residence," which only records that she married the Han official Sun Chengyun.

Princess Heshuo Dunke Qingrong

Qingrong was the daughter of Qijia. Qijia entered the palace in the 22nd year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, and eight years later, in the 30th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, she gave birth to Princess Qingrong. However, Qijia did not gain status because of her daughter.

Qi Jia struggled between the positions of Noble Lady, Attendant Lady, and Noble Lady Shen, but ultimately died young.

In the 48th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Qingrong was granted the title of Princess Heshuo Dunke and married into the Khorchin Mongol tribe. Her husband was Dorji, a Taiji of the Khorchin.

The relationship between Princess Dunke and her husband was also rather bland.

Apart from the time Princess Dunke fell seriously ill due to acclimatization issues upon her arrival in Khorchin in the 49th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, her life in Khorchin was simple and monotonous.

Throughout Princess Dunke's life, she did not have any children.

When Princess Dunke was thirty, her husband passed away. With the support of Emperor Yonghe, she did not remarry but returned to the capital. Emperor Yonghe bestowed upon her an estate and a princess's residence.

After that, Princess Dunke lived a secluded life, passing away at the age of eighty-six, without children, and died alone.

Princess Heshuo Heke of Pingyao

Pingyao was the daughter of Consort Xiang, of the Hesheli clan, who later became the emperor's ancestor. She had a younger brother, Prince Mu, Yinqi, who was born of the same mother.

Pingyao was born in Changchun Palace in the thirty-fourth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. She was the thirty-first princess of the Kangxi Emperor. At that time, the imperial ancestor, Consort Xiang of the Hesheli clan, was still a minor concubine.

In the first year of the Yonghe reign, Pingyao, at the age of nineteen, was bestowed the title of Princess Heshuo Heke by the Yonghe Emperor.

In the same year, she married into the Jarud tribe of Mongolia, becoming the first princess of the Yonghe reign to be sent as a bride in a political marriage.

After marrying into the Jarud tribe, Princess Heke did not achieve much, nor did she maintain the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the Jarud tribe of Mongolia. Like most princesses in history who were sent to marry foreign rulers, Princess Heke remained unknown.

The only recorded instance in the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty" is that she was granted the title of Princess Heshuo Heke, making her the first princess of her own blood to be married off to Mongolia during the reign of Emperor Yonghe.

Princess Heshuo Jingke Ruxuan

Ru Xuan was born in June of the 37th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. She was the third to last daughter of the Kangxi Emperor. Later, in the 38th year of his reign, she was named the 32nd Princess.

Her birth mother was Consort Wang, who later became Noble Lady Mi, Imperial Concubine Mi (the late Emperor), and Imperial Concubine Mi (the grandfather).

In the fifth year of the Yonghe reign, Ru Xuan, who was already twenty years old and had not yet been chosen as a consort, and Princess Changting, who was the same age as Ru Xuan, were put on the agenda by the Yonghe Emperor and Empress Ulanara. The Yonghe Emperor sent an urgent memorial to the Yuanmingyuan Palace.

After discussing the matter, Emperor Kangxi and Xu Lejin decided to entrust the marriage arrangements for Princesses Ruxuan and Princess Changting to their elder brother, Emperor Yonghe.

May of the same year

Emperor Yonghe and his empress carefully selected several talented young men from the court.

Among them were prominent Manchu clans such as the Nara, Fuca, and Tongjia, as well as the Yellow-Belt Gioro, Shushu Gioro, Irgen Gioro, and Aha Gioro clans.

As for the various Mongol tribes?

Because Emperor Yonghe had married Princess Heke to the Jarud tribe in the second year of his reign, he did not intend to marry his two younger sisters, Xuan and Pingyao, to Mongolia for political reasons.

After several deliberations, Emperor Yonghe chose Ahajueluo as Ruxuan's consort.

In the same year, Ruxuan was granted the title of Princess Heshuo Jingke and married into the Aha Gioro clan.

The Aha Gioro clan, along with the Aisin Gioro and Irgen Gioro clans, became the three major Gioro clans. Previously, no royal princess had ever married into the Aha Gioro clan.

Princess Jingke's marriage was a first.

After Princess Jingke married her husband, the couple reportedly had a harmonious relationship and had three sons and two daughters.

In the twenty-first year of the Qian'an era, Princess Jingke peacefully closed her eyes in her princess residence.
