In 1669, an envoy from Beijing (Qing Dynasty) returned with silver and silk. When her father King Hyeonjong gave it to her, he was ashamed after Song Jun-gil (송준길) told him not to use what he obtained publicly.[1]
In 1673, the 14th year of her father's reign, she was arranged to marry Maeng Man-taek (맹만택), son of Maeng Ju-seo (맹주서),[2] but before the formal marriage ceremony were to happen, the Princess showed symptoms of smallpox and was moved to Gyeongdeok Palace (경덕궁).[3] She died on August 2, 1673, when she was 14 years old. Her tomb is located in Taepyeong-dong, Sujeong District, Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.
