Aisin Gioro Yihe (奕詥; 14 March 1844 – 17 December 1868) was Daoguang Emperor's eighth son and the first holder of Prince Zhong peerage. As the peerage was not granted perpetual inheritability, Yihe's potential successors would hold diminished ranks.[1]

Yihe was born on 14 March 1844 to Imperial Noble Consort Zhuangshun, lady Uya in the Garden of Elegant Spring in Yuanmingyuan. Yihe had also one elder brother, Yixuan, and one younger brother, Yihui. [2] In 1850, Yihe started studying in the Imperial Study. His tutors were editor in the Hanlin academy Zhong Fucheng (重福承), future regent under the minority of the Tongzhi Emperor Kuang Yuan (匡源) and Weng Xincun (翁心存).[3] That same year, Yihe was granted a title of Prince Zhong of the Second Rank (钟郡王) at the age of barely 6 years.[4] Due to his prematurity, Yihe did not have sufficient rights to compete for succession.[5]
Yihe's ultimate career started during the minority of Tongzhi Emperor. Yihe was appointed to make sacrifices at the Imperial Ancestral Temple in 1864. [6] From that year on, he presided at the sacrificial rites in the Imperial ancestral temple on behalf of the teenage emperor and two empresses dowagers[7] and Shamanic rites in the autumn 1866.[8] In 1865, he was entrusted with the affairs of the Hall of Uprightness and Objectivity (中正殿). [9]
Yihe died in 1868[10] and was posthumously honoured as Prince Zhongduan of the Second Rank.[11]
