'''Princess Hejing of the First Rank''' (固倫和敬公主; 31 July 1731 – 30 September 1792), was a princess of the [[Qing dynasty]] as the third daughter of the [[Qianlong Emperor]]. Her mother was [[Empress Xiaoxianchun]].<ref>Wan, Yi; Shuqing, Wang; Yanzhen, Lu; Scott, Rosemary E. (1988). Daily Life in the Forbidden City: The Qing Dynasty, 1644-2013 (Illustrated ed.).

== Life ==
The third princess was born on 31 July 1731, when her mother was still a primary consort, and was raised by Dowager Consort Chunyuqin, a consort of the [[Kangxi Emperor]]. She was bestowed the title of "Princess Hejing of the First Rank" (固伦和敬公主; ''hejing'' meaning "harmonious and respectful"), after the enthronement of the [[Qianlong Emperor]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=《清宮內務府奏銷檔》}}</ref>
In 1746, Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared a dowry worth of 2500 [[tael]]s, and in April 1747, she married the Mongolian prince Septeng Baljur of the [[Borjigin]] clan. Her wedding banquet was held in the [[Hall of Preserving Harmony]] in the Forbidden City.
She continued to collect her meals from the palace. This kind of treatment was equal to that of an Imperial Noble Consort, foreshadowing the indulgence later received by her younger half-sisters [[Princess Hejing (born 1756)|Princess Hejing]] and [[Princess Hexiao (Qianlong)|Princess Hexiao]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=《固倫和敬公主吃食份例照依和碩公主例得給事》}}</ref>
The Princess gave birth to 4 daughters and 1 son, Eleke Temur Babai (personally named by her father).<ref>{{Cite book|title=《竹叶亭杂记》/"Records of Pavillion of Bamboo Leaves"}}</ref> Her first daughter married [[Yonghuang]]'s son, [[Miande]], while her fourth daughter married Fengshenhulun, a son of [[Princess Hejia]]. After the marriage, the Princess continued lavish lifestyle—her annual expenses reached 15.000 taels, while her allowance was 80.000 taels.
Septeng Baljur died in 1775, leaving her widowed. Princess Hejing didn't remarry and died on 30 September 1792. Her coffin was interred in a tomb in [[Chaoyang District, Beijing|Chaoyang District]], Beijing.
