Princess Hejia of the Second Rank was born on the 24th of December, 1745 (recorded as the second day of the twelfth month of the tenth year of Emperor Qianlong's reign) at the Palace of Great Benevolence (景仁宫; Jǐngréngōng) in the
Forbidden City to the then-Noble Consort Chun (純貴妃). The following year, two of the Noble Consort's midwives, Madam Wang and Madam Xu, would also deliver Empress Xiaoxianchun's last child, the short-lived Prince Yongcong. On March 25, 1760, Princess Hejia married Fulong'an (福隆安), son of
Fuheng. In addition to the standard dowry of 10,000 taels, the emperor awarded her another 10,000 more. In the 28th year of Qianlong (1763), on August 23, Princess Hejia gave birth to her first child, a son, named Fengshenjilun (丰神吉伦). The date of the birth of her second son, named Fengshenguolemin (丰神果勒敏) is not known, but it's likely to be from 1764 onwards. She became seriously ill and died on 29 October 1767 at the age of twenty-one, leaving Qianlong devasted. She was buried with all honors in an exquisitely made tomb. == References ==
