Life

His mother Imperial Noble Consort Zhemin died when he was very young. In 1748, while the Qianlong Emperor was on an inspection tour in southern China, his first empress consort, Empress Xiaoxianchun, died. Yonghuang, as the emperor's eldest son, was tasked with overseeing the empress's funeral. Yonghuang and his third brother, Yongzhang (永璋; 1735–1760), did not mourn the empress as deeply as expected. When the Qianlong Emperor found out later, he was extremely displeased, so he reprimanded Yonghuang and Yongzhang and removed them from his list of potential successors.

Yonghuang died in 1750. The Qianlong Emperor deeply regretted his earlier decision but it was too late. He gave Yonghuang the posthumous title " Prince Ding'an of the First Rank ".
