  During the first part of the Yongzheng reign, Hongli and his wife lived in one of the residences to the west of the Qianqing palace (the Xiersuo). After he became emperor, he converted these residences to other purposes and replaced them with the Nansansuo (southern three residences), located outside the inner court.44 The Yuqing palace, situated to the southeast of the emperor's Qianqing palace, was the residence of crown prince Yinreng. Kangxi's grandsons Hongli and Hongzhou lived here before Hongli's marriage. Home for many of Hongli's brothers and nephews after they entered the Palace School, the Yuqing palace was also where his successor lived from the age of five to fifteen. Yongyan later reminisced about his life there with his brothers Yongxing and Yonglin: "every day wc would hasten to the Shangshufang [palace school] and study together/'50 After he ascended the throne, however, Yongyan decided to discontinue its use as a residence for princes, fearing that residence there implied selection as heir apparent. The Nansansuo was also known as the Xiefangdian or as the Agesuo (prince's residence) or as the Sansuo (three residences). It stood on the site of a former Ming structure within its own walled enclosure to the east of the main public halls. The young Hongli lived here for a time. Yongyan, the [iaqing emperor, moved here in 1775, when he was fifteen and apparently remained until he was declared crown prince in 1795. His successor, Minning, was born in the Sansuo and continued to live here after his marriage, along with his elder brother; other cousins also lived within the compound. Abandoned temporarily in 1831 when Yiwei, the Daoguang emperor's eldest son, died there, the Nansansuo was used again by Yizhu, the future Xianfeng emperor. Наньсаньсо (Nansansuo) - место жительства принцев династии Цин имело зеленую черепицу, так как в соответствии с правилами жилища принцев должны были иметь зеленую крышу.
