Princess Quejing

Princess Heshuo Kuijing, born in 1690 and died in 1736, was the fourteenth daughter of Emperor Kangxi. She was the ninth princess in the order of precedence, with her mother being Consort Yuan. Her life, career, and marriage are documented mainly through official records. She was born on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi’s reign (1690). In the forty-fifth year of Kangxi (1706), she was conferred the title of Princess Heshuo Kuijing and married Sun Chengyun, a ranked envoy and first-class man, who was the son of Sun Siké, an official of the imperial court. In May of the fifty-eighth year of Kangxi (1719), Sun Chengyun passed away. In the first month of the sixty-first year of Kangxi (1722), her elder brother Yunsi’s eldest daughter, Princess Imperial Consort, was betrothed as a wife to her grandson Wu Fu. Princess Heshuo Kuijing died in November of the first year of Qianlong (1736), at the age of 48. The main source of her biography is the "Draft History of Qing" (Qing Shi Gao).

In terms of family and marriage relations, her husband was Sun Chengyun, her father’s son from Consort Yuan, who held the rank of envoy and was a first-class male official. Her mother was Consort Yuan, a member of the imperial consort system. During the late Kangxi era and early Qianlong period, the princess's marriage arrangements played a role in family alliances within the court. There was also intermarriage within related clans, reflecting familial ties. During Kangxi’s reign, the princess and her family members were central to royal power and clan connections. Historical records focus on marriages and official appointments; there is no documentation of her or her family's independent achievements in arts, culture, or education.
