She was also a full sister of Puyi (the Xuantong Emperor) the last Emperor of China. She had three other full siblings (one brother and two sisters) and six half siblings (two brothers and four sisters).

She was referred to as "Second Princess" in her childhood. In November 1924, the warlord Feng Yuxiang took control of Beijing and forced the former imperialy family out of the Forbidden City.

Yunying and her family were evacuated by train from Xinjing to Dalizigou (in present-day Linjiang, Jilin); there, Puyi left his wife, his concubine, his sister-in-law and his nieces, and selected his three full siblings (his broter Pujie and his sisters Yunhe and Yunying), his physician and a servant to accmpany him further. They took a plane to Mukden (present-day Shenyang, Liaoning), where Puyi and his brother was arrested and taken to a prison camp in Siberia. The sisters of Puyi was not arrested. They moved with their children with her to Tonghua and where both eventually able to return to Beijing.

Yunhe managed to return to Beijing in 1948. In 1949, Chinese Communist forces occupied Beijing. In 1951, after her father's death, she inherited part of his properties. Her husband worked as an engineer at the post office while she managed a day care and worked at a factory. She retired in 1970.
