"This is a knife?" Gustav carefully examined it, then exclaimed repeatedly, "Excellent, was this designed by Soren?" His tone was full of surprise and admiration, clearly surprised and appreciative of Soren's design.

Empress Maria smiled and nodded, her eyes revealing pride and satisfaction with Soren: "This is Soren's original drawing."

Gustav hurriedly took the drawing and looked at it, then completely lost his composure and burst out laughing. His laughter was full of joy and ease, clearly finding Soren's design very amusing.

"I thought that kid was omnipotent, but his drawing skills are actually so poor." Gustav's words revealed teasing and jesting towards Soren, he was clearly surprised and amused by Soren's design.

Empress Maria chatted with Gustav in this way, their conversation filled with a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

For Soren, who was hiding under the desk, this moment was undoubtedly a bit awkward and embarrassing. Soren hid under the desk, his heart filled with complex emotions.

To prevent the Emperor from sitting in the desk chair, Empress Maria sat down first, allowing Gustav to sit opposite her. The bottom of the desk was separated by wooden boards, and the inside was not visible from the outside at all.

Soren suddenly felt a fragrant breeze coming towards him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Empress Maria's beautiful legs appearing in front of him. A trace of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes, he didn't know why this was happening.

Gustav said, "The reason I came to see you, my dear consort, is to ask Master Alonso to go to the Northwest to oversee things for a while, and bring Master Rhine Hallen back."

Soren suddenly felt a chill. As he had expected, the Orcs and the Bloodtear Organization had not taken action again because there was a Saint-level powerhouse in the Northwest. However, Soren was very puzzled. He remembered that in the game, there was also a local Saint-level powerhouse in the Northwest, so why hadn't that person appeared from beginning to end when the Saint-level battle broke out in the Northwest? This time when he returns to the Northwest, he must invite that person to come out of seclusion.

Empress Maria naturally agreed, but just as she was about to speak, she felt her calf being grabbed.

Her expression stiffened slightly, but fortunately, Gustav didn't notice it.

It turned out that Soren, under the desk, lightly kissed Empress Maria's calf, startling her greatly.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, my dear consort." After receiving the reply, Gustav got up and left. This shows how much Gustav disliked Empress Maria. When Gustav went to other imperial consorts, he would definitely stay there overnight, but only at Empress Maria's place did he just chat for a few words and then leave.

Empress Maria's eyes flickered, a hint of annoyance flashing in them. Her emotions were clearly affected by Gustav's attitude, and she felt ignored and slighted.

After Eileen confirmed that the Emperor had returned to the Holy Emblem Palace, Empress Maria pulled Soren out from under the desk.

Seeing Soren's fearful appearance, Empress Maria's heart softened, and she pulled him into the bedroom.

Tonight, she wanted Soren to stay here overnight. Soren looked at Empress Maria, whose aura had suddenly changed.

For some reason, he felt particularly guilty.

That night, Soren and Empress Maria played a game of electric shock all night, because they were both wearing clothes,

They didn't cross the final line.

Early the next morning, Soren quietly returned to his bedroom to catch up on sleep. Empress Maria returned to the magic room to meditate as if nothing had happened. She had lost control a bit last night and didn't know if she had scared Soren.

Her heart was filled with complex emotions, including concern for Soren and reflection on herself.

In the Northwest provinces, the first batch of planted Purple Gourds ushered in a bumper harvest, with a yield of more than 3,000 catties per mu. Although it was less than the 4,000 catties in the Imperial Capital, such a yield was already a great harvest in the relatively barren land of the Northwest.

Those nobles who were fortunate enough to catch up with the first wave of Purple Gourd seedlings planting breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that the high-yielding crop of Purple Gourd could be planted in the Northwest was undoubtedly good news for them.

The bumper harvest of Purple Gourds meant that they could develop their territories and improve their economic strength more quickly. These new nobles decided to keep half of the Purple Gourds for seed and half for food. In this way, they could not only guarantee future planting, but also meet the initial needs of the territory.

The high yield and drought resistance of Purple Gourds made it highly adaptable and economically valuable in the Northwest region.

This harvest filled these new nobles with confidence in the future development.

The bumper harvest of Purple Gourds by the new nobles made the eyes of many old nobles turn red. The yield of rye they planted was only about 300 catties per mu, which was nearly ten times less than the yield of Purple Gourds.

A few old nobles who planted Purple Gourds kept all their Purple Gourds for seed at the first time, preparing to plant the second batch.

Countess Fiana looked at the carts of Purple Gourds being pulled into the warehouse, her mouth almost unable to close.

"I heard that Purple Gourds have high yields a long time ago, but I didn't expect them to be so high," Countess Fiana said with joy.

The adjutant and the City Administrator of Stamm City next to her also showed smiles at the same time.

The yield of these more than 1,000 mu of Purple Gourd fields alone was the yield of 10,000 mu of rye in the past. It should be known that the total area of farmland in Stamm City is only 50,000 mu, which is still limited by the population and cannot expand the scale of farmland.

At this moment, the nobles of Stamm City were cheering for the bumper harvest of Purple Gourds.

"Not only Purple Gourd planting, but also fertilizer bricks," Adjutant Peter added, "The yield of rye in the past was around 250 catties, but the yield of many rye fields fertilized with fertilizer bricks has reached 300 catties, or even 320

catties, and there is no need to leave the land fallow. It can be planted twice a year. Even without Purple Gourds, this yield is enough to ensure that the people of the Stamm area will not go hungry in the future."

Countess Fiana nodded repeatedly, her eyes flashing brightly,

With this bumper harvest, the new nobles will definitely plant Purple Gourds comprehensively, and their seeds should be enough.

The Purple Gourd seedlings brought by His Highness the Crown Prince next time should be acquired by the old nobles, and the fertilizer bricks have proven the importance to agricultural development. I believe that the competition for fertilizer bricks will be more intense next.

"We must increase the collection of raw materials for fertilizer bricks, only in this way can we ensure that there are enough fertilizer bricks to use for the next batch of grain planting."
