至乾隆三年，皇次子永璉薨。 In Qianlong 3, the second imperial son Yonglian died.

高宗諭曰：「永璉為朕嫡子，雖未冊立，已定建儲大計，其典禮應視皇太子行。」 The Qianlong Emperor decreed: "Yonglian was my son by the empress. Though he had not yet been installed as heir, the plan to make him successor was already settled; his funeral observances should follow those of a crown prince."

將冊諡，先期遣告太廟後殿、奉先殿，諡曰端慧。 Before investiture with a posthumous title, envoys were dispatched to announce at the rear hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple and at the Hall for Veneration of Ancestors; his posthumous title was Duanhui.

乾隆十三年，皇子永琮甫二周薨，帝言：「建儲之意，朕雖默定，然未若端慧太子旨已封貯，喪儀應視皇子為優。」 In Qianlong 13 the imperial son Yongcong died at barely two; the emperor said: "Though I had silently fixed my intent to establish an heir, it was not like the Duanhui Crown Prince, whose edict was already sealed away; his mourning rites should exceed those for an ordinary imperial son."
