Prince Ke, Yinwu
On the 28th day of the 11th month of the 32nd year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Yinwu was born in Changchun Palace. His birth mother was Consort Wang, the Imperial Grandfather. At that time, Consort Wang was only a minor concubine and had not yet received a formal title.
Yinwu had two younger siblings from the same mother: Yinxi and Princess Ruxuan.
In the thirty-eighth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Consort Wang was promoted to the rank of Noble Lady Mi.
From then until Kangxi abdicated, Lady Wang remained a Noble Lady Mi. In March of the fiftieth year of Kangxi's reign, Yinwu was ordered to marry Lady Xu Muer as his primary wife. Lady Xu Muer was the niece of Xu Lejin.
She is the second legitimate daughter of Xu Huainian, the sixth brother of Xu Lejin, who was born out of wedlock.
This marriage was strongly promoted by Emperor Kangxi. Xu Lejin was the second legitimate daughter of his sixth brother, who was born out of wedlock. Marrying Yinwu as his wife was considered a step up for her.
The following year, Emperor Kangxi abdicated.
A few years later, Yinwu was promoted from Gushan Beizi to Doroke Beile. In the tenth year of Yonghe, Yinwu was ordered to take charge of the Imperial Household Department. In the eighteenth year of Yonghe, he took charge of the Imperial Clan Court. In the twenty-third year of Yonghe, he was appointed as the Commander of the Plain Red Banner Han Army.
In the first year of the Qian'an era, Yinwu was promoted to Prince Dorok.
In the sixth year of the Qian'an reign, Yinwu was appointed as the Deputy Commander of the Manchu Plain Yellow Banner. In the tenth year of the Qian'an reign, he served as the Acting Minister of the Court of Colonial Affairs and concurrently as the Chief Administrator of the Imperial Genealogy Office. In the eighteenth year of the Qian'an reign, Yinwu was promoted to Prince Ke of the First Rank.
In the twenty-third year of the Gan'an era, he became a Minister of State Affairs.
Yinwu had ten sons and nine daughters in his lifetime, of whom two sons and three daughters were born of his principal wife. In the twentieth year of the Yonghe reign, Yinwu's eldest daughter, at the age of eighteen, was granted the title of Princess Heshuo and married off to the Khorchin Mongols for a political marriage.
In addition, Yinwu had two other daughters who were married off to various Mongol tribes.

Prince Yinli
Yinli was the nineteenth son of Emperor Kangxi, ranking as the sixteenth prince. His birth mother was Consort Qin, who later became the Empress Dowager. He had a younger brother, the nineteenth prince Yinxi, who later became Prince Shen of the First Rank.
Yinli was born in Changchun Palace in the thirty-fourth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. His birth mother was Consort Chen.
In the thirty-eighth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Lady Chen was granted the title of Noble Lady Qin because she gave birth to two sons. She remained in this position until the Kangxi Emperor abdicated. In the tenth year of the Yonghe Emperor's reign, Noble Lady Qin was honored as Imperial Concubine Qin. In the tenth year of the Qian'an Emperor's reign, Lady Chen was again honored as Imperial Concubine Qin.
In the forty-ninth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Yinli was granted the title of Gushan Beizi, and in the same year, he was chosen as his consort, Niohuru.
Niohuru was the daughter of Guoyi Gong Aling'a and his wife Xu. According to seniority, Niohuru was Xu Lejin's granddaughter and maternal grandmother. She was once a palace maid named Yingchun who served Xu Lejin in the palace.
In the fifty-first year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Yinli married Niohuru.
Three years later, in the third year of the Yonghe reign, Lady Niohuru began to give birth, bearing two sons and four daughters for Yinli. Of Yinli's sixteen children, Lady Niohuru alone accounted for more than one-third.
This shows that Yinli and Niohuru were a loving couple.
In the tenth year of the Yonghe reign, Yinli was granted the title of Dorobele. In the twenty-second year of the Yonghe reign, because Yinli's third daughter was granted the title of Heshuo Princess and was ordered to marry into the Abahai tribe of Mongolia, Yinli was granted the title of Prince Guo.
In the tenth year of the Qian'an era, Yinli was once again granted the title of Prince Heshuo Guo.
Yinli's life was uneventful, but he died peacefully at a young age, becoming a Prince of the First Rank. He had six sons and ten daughters, and his descendants were numerous, ensuring that his lineage would not end without heirs, and he would not have to rely on adoption to continue the family line.

Prince Yinlu of the Doroiyu County
Yinlu was born in February of the thirty-fifth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. He was the twentieth son of the Kangxi Emperor and the seventeenth prince in terms of birth order.
Her birth mother, Lady Hesheli, was a daughter from a collateral branch of the Hesheli family who was sent to the palace with the aim of giving birth to a prince for the Hesheli family. When she first entered the palace, she was called Consort Tangrou.
After giving birth to Yinlu, Consort Tangrou did not have any more children. It was not until the thirty-eighth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign that she was granted the title of Noble Lady, but without any official rank.
Yinlu was not favored. In fact, it can be said that of the princes born after the thirtieth year of Kangxi's reign, apart from the twenty-second prince Yinhu born to Empress Xu Muer, the rest were not favored.
In the 49th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Yinlu was granted the title of Gushan Beizi by the emperor when he bestowed titles upon his sons.
In the fifty-first year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, he abdicated and his son, Crown Prince Yinchu, ascended the throne, adopting the reign title Yonghe.
The following year, the first year of the Yonghe reign, Emperor Yonghe, Yin Chu, and Empress Ulanara selected consorts, and arranged for Yin Lu to marry a daughter from a collateral branch of the Niohuru family. They married in February of the following year.
Yinlu and Niohuru's marital relationship was not harmonious.
After all, Niohuru entered the palace aiming to become a concubine, but was instead assigned to a lowly prince. The huge discrepancy naturally made her unhappy.
Five years passed after Yinlu and Niohuru got married before Niohuru gave birth to their third son.
A few years later, Niohuru gave birth to Yinlu's fourth daughter.
Yinlu was unsuccessful throughout his life, only receiving the title of Doroi Beile in the tenth year of the Yonghe reign.
In the tenth year of the reign of Emperor Qianlong, he was granted the title of Prince Duoluoyu.
Furthermore, Yinlu's offspring were few, with only five sons and five daughters. Two sons and one daughter died young, and of the three sons and four daughters who survived to adulthood, the second daughter was married off to a Mongol prince for political reasons.

Prince Yinxi of Doruoyao
Yinxi was the son of Consort Wang, who later became Noble Lady Mi, Imperial Concubine Mi, and Imperial Grandfather Consort Mi.
Yinxi had an older brother, Yinwu, who shared the same mother, and a younger sister, Princess Ruxuan, who later became Princess Heshuo Jingke.
Yinxi was born in the thirty-fifth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. He was initially the twenty-first son of the Kangxi Emperor, but later became the eighteenth prince according to the order of birth.
This Yinxi is not the same Yinxi recorded in the official history of the Qing Dynasty.
Although both were born into the Wang family and were sons of the Imperial Ancestral Consort, this was a parallel universe, so Yinxi did not die at the age of eight, but grew up safely.
In the 49th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Yinxi followed the trend of the Kangxi Emperor bestowing titles upon his sons and was granted the title of Gushan Beizi.
