Yongzhang
Yongzhang was the Qianlong Emperor's third son by Consort Chun.
Life
Yongzhang was born in the Manor of Prince Bao on 15 July 1735 as the third son of Prince Bao of the First Rank, Hongli. His mother, Lady Su, held a title of mistress.Yongzhang was not particularly excellent in horse riding because of lung disease, typical for his sister and mother. Some sources claim that his mother suffered from hemoptysis. When Yongzhang was seriously ill at the age of 15, Qianlong Emperor ordered lamas to pray for him. In 1748, he was tasked with overseeing the mourning of Empress Xiaoxianchun. Yongzhang was removed from the succession list together with his brother Yonghuang for his behavior during the funeral.
In 1759, the Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui fell sick in the Chengde Mountain Resort. Yongzhang brought his mother back to Beijing, where she died on 2 June 1760. He soon became ill and died less than three months after his mother on 26 August 1760, at the age of 25. He was posthumously honoured with the title "Prince Xun of the Second Rank".
Family
Although Yongzhang was married to lady Borjigin, daughter of Heshuo Princess Shushen and Guanyinbao, he was unable to have male heirs because his sole son died prematurely and his daughter had no rights to inherit the peerage because of her marriage. His lineage was continued by Yongxing's son Mianyi.----
