Aisin Gioro Yunbi (允秘; 5 July 1716 – 3 December 1773), born Yinbi , formally known by his title as Prince Xian, was an imperial prince of the Qing Dynasty and the 24th surviving son of the Kangxi Emperor.

Life

[edit]

Yinbi was born on 5 July 1716 to Concubine Mu, Lady Chen (陳氏), a Han Chinese native. Lady Chen died in 1727 and was buried in Jingling tombs.[1][2] Yinbi was forced to change the first character of his name to "yun".

In the 11th year of Yongzheng, Yunbi was granted the title of Prince Xian of the First Rank by Yongzheng Emperor because of his loyal and studious nature.[3]

朕幼弟允祕,秉心忠厚,賦性和平,素為皇考所鍾愛。數年以來,在宮中讀書,學識亦漸增長,朕心嘉悅,封為諴親王. Our youngest brother Yunbi, cordial and loyal, harmoneous, therefore favoured by the Predecessor. After several years of studying books in palace he presented diligence. We are rejoiced, therefore grant him a title of Prince Xian of the First Rank.

Yunbi successively held official position during Yongzheng era. During his lifetime, Yinbi served as first rank military official (都統) of the Bordered White Banner, Plain White Banner and Plain Yellow Banner.

He died on 3 December 1773 and posthumously named Prince Xianke of the First Rank (諴恪親王).[4][5]
