In 1759, he was adopted into the lineage of his granduncle Yunxi (允禧; 1711–1758) as Yunxi's grandson, because Yunxi had no son to inherit his Prince Shen peerage. Yongrong was made a beile in the same year. In 1772, he was promoted to junwang (second-rank prince) as "Prince Zhi of the Second Rank" (質郡王). In 1789, he was further promoted to qinwang (first-rank prince), as "Prince Zhi of the First Rank" (質親王). He died in 1790 and was posthumously honoured as "Prince Zhizhuang of the First Rank" (質莊親王).
He was succeeded by his fifth son, Mianqing.
Yongrong is best known for his work as a general editor of the Siku Quanshu, and for his calligraphy in the manuscript Twenty-One Hymns to the Rescuer Mother of Buddhas (二十一種救度佛母贊). He was also a poet and painter of Chinese paintings with landscape painting as his focus, with knowledge of astronomy and mathematics.[1]
