Yongqi, Prince Rongchun of the First Rank
Yongqi, Prince Rongchun of the First Rank, was the fifth son of Gaozong. In the eleventh month of the thirtieth year of Qianlong he was made Prince Rong of the First Rank. In his youth Yongqi practised mounted archery and was fluent in the national language [Manchu], and the emperor loved him dearly. He died in the third month of the thirty-first year, and was given the posthumous name Chun. His son Mianyi was made Beile in the eleventh month of the forty-ninth year. In the first month of the fourth year of Jiaqing he inherited as Prince Rong of the Second Rank. Mianyi lost his father young and was frail and often ill, but he was exceptionally bright, skilled in calligraphy, and well read in the classics and histories. In the eighteenth year, when the rising of Lin Qing broke out, Mianyi was in attendance on the imperial train; on hearing the alarm he urged the emperor strongly to return to the capital at once, and the emperor set off back that same day. For this the emperor valued him highly, and his favour grew greater day by day. A year later he died, and was given the posthumous name Ke. His son Yihui inherited as Beile. When he died, his son Zaijun inherited as Beizi. When he died, his son Pumei inherited as Duke Who Guards the State. Edit
