Miande was born on 11 August 1747 to lady Ilari, Yonghuang's princess consort. His father died in 1750 and was posthumously honoured as Prince Ding'an of the First Rank. Initially, Miande held a title of the first ranking prince.[1] In 1752, he was demoted to the Prince of the Second Rank. In 1775, Miande took part in the funeral of Empress Xiaoyichun.[2] In 1777, Miande arrived late at the funeral of Consort Shu and was forbidden from return to capital until the end of the mourning period. The prince was stripped of his title after it was revealed that he rewarded a fifth rank official Qin Xiong with a collection of precious calligraphy paintings. After the investigation led by Fuheng's son Fulong'an, Qin Xiong had been involved in hijacking Miande's horse.[3] The scandal didn't disturb the repromotion to the Duke of the First Rank in the following year.
