Life

edit

Mianhui was born on 20 October 1764 as the eldest son of Yongcheng and lady Wanyan, later promoted to secondary princess consort.[1] Mianhui was the only surviving son, hence sole heir to the Prince Lü peerage. In 1775, he was present on the funeral of Empress Xiaoyichun.[2] He inherited in 1777 as the prince of the third rank.[3] In 1779, he was rewarded together with Mian'en with a yellow saddle for excelling in mount archery and horse riding, breaking the tradition of using purple and red saddles usually reserved for imperial clansmen. He died on 6 September 1796 and was posthumously honoured as Prince Lü of the Second Rank.[4]

Family

edit

Mianhui's primary consort was lady Borjigit, niece of Deleke and Princess Hewan of the First Rank, a daughter of Hongzhou, Prince He of the First Rank.[5] Mianhui did not have a male heir because his only son died in infancy. He adopted Mianqin's son Yilun into a peerage.[6]

  • Primary consort, of the Barin Borjigin clan, daughter of Batu.[7]
    • Yiwen, first son
  • Mistress, of the Zhao clan, daughter of Zhao Sheng[8]
