==Family== Ortai was originally wed to a woman of the Gūwalgiya clan, until she died. Then he married the daughter of Maizhu (邁柱), the Minister of the Board of Civil Offices. Ortai then refused to take on secondary spouses despite polygamous customs of aristocratic men of his generation. They had two daughters and six sons. His fourth son Oning (O-ning, ) also served as Viceroy of Yung-Gui for a short period in 1768.
