Princess Heshuo Yuxian Niyang Qiqi
Niyang Qiqi was the daughter of Consort Zhi Nara. Like Princess Minjing Shadali, she experienced the death of her birth mother in her childhood and grew up in the Prince's Residence.
Kangxi's sixteenth daughter, whose birth order was fifteenth princess.
Because Consort Zhi was pregnant and experiencing many anxieties, Ni Yang Qiqi was born weak. The imperial physicians all said she needed careful nurturing to grow up healthy.
Later, when Ni Yang Qiqi was six years old, she fell into the lake again, injuring her body and affecting her ability to have children in the future.
However, Ni Yang Qiqi is quite lucky. Despite all the hardships, she still managed to grow up safely. Although she was a bit weak, with careful care, she was able to live to a ripe old age.
In the thirty-sixth year, Ni Yang Qiqi was granted the title of Princess Heshuo Yuxian and married into the Tong family.
Because of Ni Yang Qiqi's health condition, she has only been able to give birth to one daughter over the years. This daughter has also inherited Ni Yang Qiqi's frail health and needs to be carefully raised to grow up safely.
In the fifth year of the Yonghe reign, Ni Yang Qiqi passed away.

Princess Guren Kejing, Ailanzhu
Ai Lanzhu was the daughter of Consort Chun, later Consort Xiang, and Consort Xiang of the Chun clan. Because her birth mother, Consort Chun, was only a consort at the time, she and Consort Chun lived a cautious and timid life from childhood.
In the thirty-sixth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, the nineteen-year-old Ailanzhu, as the seventeenth daughter of the Kangxi Emperor and the sixteenth princess, was bestowed the title of Princess Heshuo Kejing and married into the Khalkha Mongol tribe. Her husband was Dunbudo Burji, the heir apparent of the Khalkha princes.
Perhaps because Ailanzhu had lived a cautious and timid life with Chunshi since childhood, she developed a strong personality. After marrying into the Khalkha tribe, she became the Khalkha Prince in Dunbudoburji.
Ailanzhu quickly deposed Dunbudoburji and became the regent queen of the Khalkha tribe, freeing herself from domestic affairs and truly joining the political decision-making process.
His residence was an independent kingdom within Guihua City, not under the jurisdiction of the Guihua General or the Governor's Office.
In addition, Ailanzhu also had a title, "Princess of the Sea Clam". "Sea Clam (Bo)" is a Manchu word, and "Yi" in Han language means "advisor" or "deliberative".
At that time, Ailanzhu held immense power in southern Mongolia. After Yinchu ascended the throne, he bestowed upon Ailanzhu the title of Princess Gulun Kejing.
As for Ailanzhu's private life, as a woman who once held immense power in southern Mongolia, she naturally didn't just stay with one man. Some unofficial historical records indicate that Ailanzhu had many men throughout her life.
Some of them were even princes and nobles from various tribes in southern Mongolia, who were willing to become Ailanzhu's devoted followers.
According to the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty: Records of Princesses' Residences", Princess Gulun Kejing Ailanzhu was the most significant among the many Qing princesses who were sent to marry foreign rulers. She not only used her lifelong happiness as a link between the Manchu and Mongol peoples, but also truly exercised the imperial court's right to oversee the country in Mongolia.

Princess Ningchuge of Heshuo Kexian
Ning Chuge was the daughter of Consort Yi, of the Guo Luoluo clan. She was born in December of the eighteenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. She was the eighteenth daughter of the Kangxi Emperor and was ranked as the seventeenth princess. Consort Yi died after giving birth, and Ning Chuge was raised by her aunt, Noble Lady Guo.
Later, after Consort Guo gave birth to Yin Yu, Yin Yu was given to Consort Duan to raise. Consort Guo was then promoted to Consort Mu, but was later demoted to commoner status and moved to the Cold Palace.
In that year, Ning Chuge was sent to the palace of Consort Que to be raised.
Therefore, Ning Chuge had a total of three mothers: one biological mother and two adoptive mothers.
In September of the thirty-sixth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Ningchuge was bestowed the title of Princess Heshuo Kexian and married into the Abahai tribe of Mongolia. Ningchuge's marriage to Mongolia was something she herself had requested, her purpose being to prove herself...
It was also to escape the Qing Dynasty, the place where she lost her mother twice.
However, while her idea was beautiful, reality was cruel. After Ning Chuge married into the Abahai tribe, she did not achieve the political success she had imagined. Instead, she was trapped in tedious household chores.
Ning Chuge's husband, Abahai Borjigit Tsering, was not a man of lasting affection or devotion. He was arrogant and fearless of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, even after marrying Ning Chuge, he continued to take concubines and secondary wives.
After struggling for several years, Ningchuge finally faced reality and accepted his fate.
In the third year of the Yonghe reign, Ningchuge died of illness in the Abahai tribe at the age of thirty-six. He had no children. After Ningchuge's death, the Abahai tribe arranged for his son-in-law, Tsering, to marry a woman from the Qing imperial family.

Princess Heshuo Wenxian Buyinzhu
Bu Yinzhu's birth mother was Xiu Guiren at the time, and later Shun Guiren and Shun Pin.
The surname of Consort Xiu is unknown. After all, Consort Xiu was originally Xiuhe, a maidservant of Consort Tongjia. When Consort Tongjia passed away, she was made a concubine and later became Consort Xiu.
In the nineteenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Consort Xiu, who was nearly thirty years old, became pregnant and gave birth to Buyinzhu. She was then promoted to the rank of Noble Lady.
In the thirty-eighth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Consort Xiu had already received a title and was now Consort Shun. That same year, Buyinzhu was granted the title of Princess Heshuo Wenxian and married into the Tatara family. Also in the same year, Consort Shun was promoted to the rank of Imperial Concubine.
Buyinzhu's consort, Tatara, and the later consort of Prince Jing, Tatara, were cousins from the same clan and branch. Although they were not from a prominent Manchu Eight Banners family, they were from an old Manchu family.
Later, Buyinzhu and her husband had four daughters and four sons, and their relationship was harmonious.
In the ninth year of the Yonghe reign (1720), Buyinzhu gave birth to eight children in quick succession, which damaged her health. Ultimately, she did not survive the winter of that year and her life came to an end.

Princess Heshuo Youjing
Princess Youjing's name is unknown because she was born with a leg ailment and was not favored by Emperor Kangxi, so she did not even have a name. She was only listed as the eighteenth princess in terms of age and was later granted the title of Princess Heshuo Youjing before getting married.
Princess Youjing's birth mother was Consort Cheng, of the Daijia clan. Princess Youjing was born in the nineteenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. At that time, Consort Cheng was only a low-ranking concubine. Although she gave birth to Princess Youjing, the princess had a leg ailment, so she did not receive any reward.
After that, Lady Daijia completely lost the emperor's favor and moved to Chunxi Palace with Princess Youjing. She served as a concubine for more than 30 years, eventually being granted a title and becoming a concubine.
In May of the thirty-eighth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, Princess Youjing was ordered to marry a woman from the Han Banner, surnamed Li.
Because she was a princess, even though she was not favored and was married in the capital, the Ministry of Revenue still had to build a princess's residence and allocated funds for it. Princess Youjing probably developed an inferiority complex because she had a leg ailment since childhood.
After getting married, she rarely went out in the capital, living her quiet life in the princess's mansion and rarely leaving her home.
Years later, Princess Youjing gave birth to one son and two daughters.
In the nineteenth year of the Yonghe reign, Princess Youjing passed away in her palace. Later records indicate that Princess Youjing's eldest daughter married a member of the imperial family, while her second daughter married into the palace and became the primary consort of Emperor Yonghe's son.
According to the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty: Records of the Princess's Residence", Princess Youjing had a leg ailment, but she had a harmonious relationship with her husband. When Princess Youjing gave birth to her third child, her husband waited outside the delivery room, listened to the pained cries inside, and vowed that he would never have another child.
