The Prince Chun peerage was not awarded "iron-cap" status. This meant that each successive bearer of the title would normally start off with a title downgraded by one rank. Hongjing, Yunyou's sixth son, held the title of Prince Chun of the Second Rank from 1730 to 1777.[citation needed]

Yunyou was born in the 19th year of Kangxi reign, with a disability in his right leg. His birth mother was Consort Cheng of Daigiya clan, but he was raised by Consort Hui of Yehe Nara clan.[citation needed]
