Princess Hejing of the First Rank (固倫和靜公主; 10 August 1756 – 9 February 1775), was a royal of the Qing dynasty.




Biography


Princess Hejin was the Qianlong Emperor's 7th daughter. Her mother was Consort Ling, posthumously Empress Xiaoyichun. She was born in the Hall of Five Fortunes, inside the Old Summer Palace. She temporarily resided in the Xichun Garden because her manor had not been completely finished. Her residence used to be the mansion of the minister Gao Heng, a brother of the Imperial Noble Consort Huixian.
In 1761, when the Eight Banners army captured the Mongolian Dzungars, Lhawang Dorji was chosen as Princess Hejing's prince consort (额驸; pinyin: efu) and sent to Beijing. He was the 7th grandson of Princess Chunque of the First Rank, the Kangxi Emperor's 10th daughter, and her husband Celing. His father, Chenggunzhabu, participated in military campaigns of Qing and held the title of jasagh. On August 1770, at the age of 14, Princess Heijing was bestowed the title "Princess Hejing of the First Rank" and married Lhawang Dorji. Their wedding ceremony took place at the Palace of Brightness and Justice inside the Old Summer Palace.
According to the imperial tradition, only the daughters of the empress could be given a title of 1st-ranking princess (gurun), but an exception was made for two reasons. At that time, her mother was an imperial noble consort who served as the de facto empress because she held the highest rank among the emperor's consorts. Moreover, Princess Hejing was Imperial Noble Consort Ling's 1st daughter, and Qialong wanted to show his friendship with Lhawang Dorji.
Princess Hejing and Lhawang Dorji travelled to Mongolia after their wedding ceremony. In November 1771, she went to Tamir together with a consort of Chenggunzhab, possibly her mother-in-law. They planned to return to Beijing in spring due to Khalkha's weather conditions. Tragically, she died at the age of 18.
