Although he could learn the most comprehensive knowledge in the world in the Forbidden City, the place was too small. Considering the suffering of all people, everything Yin Yi learned was just theoretical.
Anning plans to wait a few years before sending Yinyi out to see the world.
Even if we don't want him to go abroad, at the very least we should let him live in anonymity and see what life is like for all kinds of people.
Just as the mother and son were talking, Chunlan came in, and she didn't look well.
Chunlan: "Your Majesty, the Sixteenth Prince, the Emperor has decreed that the Crown Prince has been deposed!"
Upon hearing this, Yin Yi immediately stood up: "What did you say?!"
Although the Crown Prince's deposition was foreseeable, the fact that it had actually come to this still left Yin Yi feeling dazed.
As for the Crown Prince, Yin Yi's impression of him was neither good nor bad. In fact, Yin Ren had done enough as Crown Prince; it was just that Kangxi was too good at living.
As an outsider, I witnessed Kangxi's various "trials" for the crown prince. As Kangxi's son, Yin Yi felt a sense of sympathy for him, but I didn't feel any pity, just a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including regret, sadness, and a touch of melancholy).

After Chunlan left, Anning said to Yinyi, "The Emperor raised the Crown Prince with his own hands. Now that the Crown Prince has been deposed, your father must be heartbroken. As his son, you should comfort your father and not make him sad."
As for the deposed crown prince, your mother remembers that he treated you quite well before, showing great concern for your studies. As his younger brother, you should repay him in kind. Secretly arrange things to prevent those snobbish servants in the Imperial Household Department from bullying the deposed crown prince. Be discreet in your actions.”
Yin Yi still had deep feelings for Kangxi, because Kangxi doted on him! Knowing that Kangxi would be saddened by this, Yin Yi naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his fate.
Yin Yi: "Son understands."
