The Fourth Prince, later Prince Yong. He appears indifferent to worldly affairs, but in reality is ambitious and politically astute. He is captivated by Nian Shilan's proud and spirited demeanor during the autumn hunt and requests the Emperor to bestow her as his secondary consort. He is seven years older than her and treats her with apparent tenderness and favor. He is suspicious and often tests her intentions. He is skilled in martial arts and hunting, and later becomes injured while managing a flood disaster in Henan, suffering from a blade wound, poisoning, and an epidemic. He is deeply involved in the power struggles among the princes, though he hides his ambitions behind a facade of contentment with calligraphy and painting. He values loyalty and is determined to clean up his inner court after discovering a plot against Nian Shilan.
