Yongzhang was born in the Manor of Prince Bao on 15 July 1735 as the third son of Prince Bao of the First Rank, Hongli. His mother, Lady Su, held a title of mistress (庶福晋).[1]
Yongzhang was not particularly excellent in horse riding because of lung disease, typical for his sister and mother. Some sources claim that his mother suffered from hemoptysis.[2] When Yongzhang was critically ill at the age of 15, Qianlong Emperor ordered lamas to pray for him.[3] In 1748, he was tasked with overseeing the mourning of Empress Xiaoxianchun.[4] Yongzhang was removed from the succession list together with his brother Yonghuang for his behavior during the funeral.[5]
In 1759, the Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui fell sick in the Chengde Mountain Resort. Yongzhang brought his mother back to Beijing.[6] He died a year later and was posthumously honoured with the title "Prince Xun of the Second Rank".
Although Yongzhang was married to lady Borjigin, daughter of Heshuo Princess Shushen and Guanyinbao,[7] he was unable to have male heirs because his sole son died prematurely and his daughter had no rights to inherit the peerage because of her marriage.[8] His lineage was continued by Yongxing's son Mianyi.[9]
