Princess Kejing of the first rank (July 4, 1679 - April 4, 1735)^[1],also known as Gulun Princess Kejing, was a Qing dynasty princess, and was the only daughter of her father Kangxi Emperor (r. 1661–1722) through his concubine, Noble Lady Buyinzhu of the Gorolo clan^[2] and his 4th daughter to survive to adulthood. She is considered the last powerful princess of anicent china and earned the title "Gulun Princess"(translated as “Princess of the First Rank”) on her own merit.

Born on July 4, 1679 ^[1],in the Forbidden City, Beijing, Kejing was born as Kangxi's 6th biological daughter born through his, Noble Lady Buyinzhu of the Gorolo clan^[3] but was raised by her mothers sister, her aunt Consort Yi. She also had a full brother called Yinju (胤䄔; 13 September 1683 – 17 July 1684), 19th son of Kangxi Emperor^[4].

In 1684,When Kejing was 5 years old, she got smallpox but recovered in only 3 days.

In 1697,Kejing was promoted to The Princess Kejing of the second rank^[5].

In December 1697/January 1698,Kejing married to Dondob Dorji (敦多布多爾濟; ? – 1743) of the Mongol Khalkha Borjigin clan had issue (four sons and one girl) and became the first qing princess to marry a mobei Mongolia noble^[6][7][8].

Shortly after her marriage in 1697, Princess Kejing took up residence at the Qingshuihe Office on the east side of Yongan Street in Qingshuihe County. Over the next nine years, she not only fulfilled her official duties but also left an enduring mark on local infrastructure. Notably, she oversaw the construction of a ten‐kilometer-long stone canal—dubbed the Qinglong Canal—to divert water for irrigation. This impressive endeavor transformed over 180 acres of agricultural land, ensuring sustainable food production. The Qingshui River still commemorates her contributions; a “Virtue and Political Monument” was inscribed in the fifth year of Emperor Yongzheng (1727), lauding her commitment to addressing the needs of the people, promoting agriculture, ensuring fair governance, and establishing broad and effective legislation^[8].

In 1706, Princess Kejing shifted her residence from Qingshui River to a refined home on the north bank of the Zadahai River in Guihua City. That very year, renovations on the Princess Mansion were completed, allowing her to settle into the newly restored imperial habitat. In Guihua City, her behavior became the subject of local admiration; she was described as respectful, frugal, and unpretentious—attuned to formal etiquette without resting solely on the laurels of royal status. Locals affectionately nicknamed her the “Princess of the Sea Clam” (with “sea clam” being a Manchu metaphor for a trusted and steady staff member)^[8].

The princess’s influence extended well beyond her immediate courtly duties. Her estate encompassed approximately 17,000 mu of land, and she set in motion significant agricultural reforms. Water was diverted from the Heihe River (now known as the Nanda Heihe River in Hohhot City) to irrigate the fields, while repairs to the Yongfeng Canal marked the onset of systematic irrigation development in the region. Local historical texts—such as those preserved in compilations like the “Spirit of Magical Powers”—praise her gentle talent, courteous disposition, and virtuous character. Some accounts even reference her collaboration with notable local official Fan Yongzhao, highlighting the princess’s practical role in regional governance and agrarian reform^[8].

In 1724,In recognition of her exceptional accomplishments in Khalkha Mongolia, Emperor Yongzheng honored Princess Kejing by bestowing upon her the title of Princess Gulun Kejing^[1] .

In April 4, 1735, Princess Kejing died of illness at the age of fifty-seven and was buried in Khan Mountain, Mongolian People's Republic after her death^[1].

The Residence of Gurun Princess Kejing, located in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, is a well-preserved example of Qing dynasty architecture and a site of historical significance. Construction began in 1703, with the site carefully selected to reflect the princess’s status and the Qing’s authority. The complex, measuring 180 meters by 63 meters, featured a symmetrical layout with a central axis comprising a spirit screen, main entrance, ceremonial entrance, main hall (Jingyi Tang), bedchamber, and rear building, flanked by four internal courtyards^[9].

The residence served as both a home for Kejing and a political statement. Its design adhered to Qing imperial standards, blending Manchu and Chinese architectural elements, which underscored the dynasty’s cultural synthesis. After Kejing’s lifetime, the residence remained in use by her descendants until the early 20th century, when it was repurposed as the Hohhot Municipal Normal School in 1923. Since 1990, it has housed the Hohhot Municipal Museum and was designated a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in 2001^[10].
