Chapter 1048: Daily Life, Impressive

The finale of "The Imperial Empire" broke viewership records on multiple video platforms on the night of its finale.

Especially in the last episode, when Emperor Chen died, the number of comments surged so much that the platform almost crashed. Many netizens exclaimed that they now have a show to watch while eating!

Whether it's battlefield strategies or court intrigues, "The Imperial Empire" is always fresh and new, with many details that you only get the hang of on a second viewing.

This led to the creation of many bloggers' analytical videos surrounding "The Imperial Empire," which remained popular for many years to come.

However, these are all long-tail effects brought about by the completion of "The Imperial Empire".

For Xiao He, "The Imperial Cause" is also officially coming to an end.

After the live stream ended, Xiao He immediately posted a farewell video for his character in "The Imperial Empire" on Weibo and recorded a short calligraphy video.

However, in this video, Xiao He did not use a calligraphy brush, but rather his usual signature pen.

In the video, a young man in a simple white suit stands in front of a table and writes the four characters "安定天下" (meaning "Peace and stability under heaven") in his most familiar handwriting with a graceful and neat style.

This time, there was no need to imitate the Emperor's handwriting; instead, it was Xiao He's own handwriting, the brushstrokes and style that Xiao He was most familiar with in the past twenty years of his life.

It was as if, at that moment, he had truly stepped out of the role.

—He is no longer the Emperor Chen, nor is he an actor who needs to imitate the handwriting of ancient people.

The story of Emperor Chen in "The Imperial Empire" has come to an end. After leaving his role in the drama, Xiao He also responded to Emperor Chen across the long years with his unique handwriting of "Peace and Stability of the World". This may be the last surprise that Xiao He can give to everyone after the finale of "The Imperial Empire".

The emperor of that time wanted to bring peace to the world and build a great empire. His descendants responded with the promise of a peaceful and prosperous world, a strong and prosperous nation, and an eternally stable land!

This may also explain why "The Empire" was initially supported.

That's why so many people like Emperor Chen.

Throughout his life, all the regrets have come to a perfect conclusion at this moment.

How could one not be filled with emotion?

【I was a little dazed at that moment. I never expected Brother Xiao to say goodbye to the character in this way. I was inexplicably moved.】

【I didn't expect it either, but the moment I saw Brother Xiao's own handwriting, I really felt a chill run down my spine. I truly understood that an actor had completely stepped out of the role.】

【I don't know why, but I feel even sadder. Emperor Chen has passed away, and it's time for the characters in the play to say goodbye.】

【So this is what Xiao Ge's handwriting is like! I almost thought Xiao He's handwriting was like Emperor Chen's. It seems Xiao Ge really put in a lot of effort. During the promotion of "The Imperial Concubine," he seemed to be using Emperor Chen's handwriting throughout. I remember it was the same during "Happy Everyday." Xiao Ge even explained that it was to fit the character, and he specifically studied and learned it.】

【That's right. Anyone who went to the promotional events and got their autographs knew that Xiao He's autographs during that period were all limited edition Emperor Chen style, completely different from the ones he initially signed for everyone. I was really touched when I found out about this; I didn't expect Xiao He to be so thoughtful and genuinely working so hard to promote the show.】

【What?! So, during the promotional period for "The Imperial Empire," Xiao Ge's autograph was a limited edition? Holy crap, I feel like I missed out on a fortune! Now that Xiao He has officially said goodbye to the role and ended the promotional period for "The Imperial Empire," doesn't that mean that the autographs from this period will become unavailable?】

【I was grinning like an idiot when I saw Xiao Ge's Weibo posts, but now that I've seen this news, I'm instantly unhappy.】

【However, farewell, Emperor Chen. I wish Brother Xiao all the best in the future.】

【Thank you, Brother Xiao, and thank you to the "Imperial Ambition" crew for once again taking us to witness the past of Emperor Chen and the magnificent ambitions of a generation of emperors in building their empires. Finally, I wish everyone in the crew all the best in their future endeavors.】

...

Jinhe Prince's Garden in Beijing.

In the early morning, the sprinklers inside the garden begin their daily routine, diligently watering the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees.

The mist, mixed with the morning dew, slowly condensed into water droplets of varying sizes, eventually dripping down the branches and leaves onto the soil, leaving only fresh air and a faint dampness.

The sound of the flowing water beside the path gradually grew louder, startling the koi in the water, which unconsciously swayed their tails.

At the end of this path, a small ball flew out of nowhere—

"Woof!"

A large black dog leaped out of the bushes like a black lightning bolt, biting the small ball flying in mid-air.

The next moment, it landed steadily and silently, without even disturbing the fish in the nearby lake.

"Well done, Weifeng! Come back!"

A deep voice called from afar.

In the blink of an eye, Weifeng wagged its tail and trotted back, placing the toy it was holding in its mouth at the young man's feet.

The young man was dressed in a simple tracksuit, wearing a sports headband that made it easy to pull back his bangs, and neckband headphones that he had worn during his morning run. He was now taking off the towel tied around his waist, wiping his sweat, and bending down to pick up a small ball from the ground.

"Woof!"

Wei Feng immediately gripped the ground with his forepaws, lowered his upper body to the ground, and assumed a ready-to-go stance.

Xiao He then followed suit and made a standard throwing motion.

"three--"

"two--"

"one--"

With a sharp whooshing sound, the small ball flew out of Xiao He's hand at an extremely fast speed, so fast that it almost left a blur in the air!

Almost the instant Xiao He released his hand, the dark figure beside him darted away like the wind!

Although the ball flew across most of the lake in the garden and straight to the other side, the clever Weifeng chose to go around it instead of rushing into the water. Instead, it kept its eyes fixed on the spot where the ball was thrown and started running around the lake at high speed!

Soon, the ball fell into the grass and disappeared.

But this was no challenge for Weifeng.

Once it reached the other side, it didn't take long to find the ball in the grass with a clear purpose.

Xiao He raised his hand to look at his watch, put his other hand on his hip, and stood on the shore waiting for Wei Feng to come over.

The next moment, Weifeng, with the ball in its mouth, jumped into the lake without hesitation!

The splashing water eventually startled the fish in the water. The bright red koi swung their big tails and scattered in another direction, while the majestic fish in the water, holding the small ball in its mouth, nimbly splashed its limbs and swam towards Xiao He at the same extremely fast speed.

Before long, it climbed ashore, lowered its head and placed the ball back at Xiao He's feet, then sat down and looked up at Xiao He.

Xiao He promptly pressed the timer on his wrist: "One minute and three seconds! A new record broken! Impressive! Great job!"

He immediately raised his hand and rubbed the majestic, wet dog's head.

Weifeng panted with its tongue lolling out, its wagging tail becoming even more excited, and it subconsciously began to shake off the water stains on its body.

The dog's fur swayed wildly in the air, and the water droplets it flung out hit Xiao He like bullets, banging all over him!

His sportswear was instantly soaked with water.

"Okay, okay."

Xiao He turned his head and squinted, raising his hand to block the wide-range attack aimed at his face. He then smiled helplessly, not angry at all.

—Anyway, I'm used to it.

This was a rare and unspoken understanding between him and Weifeng.
