Mianqin (; 1768 – 1820) was Qing dynasty imperial prince and Qianlong Emperor's grandson.

Life

Mianqin was born as the eldest son of Yongxing and his primary consort, lady Fuca,[1] niece of Empress Xiaoxianchun (daughter of empress' youngest brother, Fuheng).[2]

Initially Mianqin held a title of lesser bulwark duke. In 1796, his second son Yilun, was adopted into Prince Lü peerage due to childlessness of Yongcheng's son, Mianhui. In 1802, he was promoted to beile. He became an only heir apparent of the Prince Cheng peerage, because his brothers Miansi and Mianyi were adopted by childless imperial princes, such as Yongzhang or Yongji.[3] His mother died in November 1813.[4]

Mianqin was posthumously granted a title of Prince Cheng of the Second Rank in 1820.[5]
