Eagle Flag of Epirus

At this time, outside the city of Tripolis, there was a thriving scene, and there were bustling farmers everywhere, working in the fields and reaping the fruits of the year. The fastest update. Although affected by the war, the farmland has not been abandoned, especially after Justinian regained it, he also cut a part of the corvee tax and greatly reduced the burden on farmers. Therefore, even if there is no strict order, the rural areas around Tripolis have not seen the phenomenon of tenants fleeing.

In addition to joy, after the harvested grains and vegetables were sealed in the warehouse in this late autumn, Greek farmers also ushered in the annual festival of the goddess Sirius, which celebrates the harvest. Cyris is also the Greek goddess of harvest, Demeter, who taught humans to cultivate and give life to the earth in mythology. Although the Roman Empire had completed Christification hundreds of years ago, both commoners and nobles regarded the old gods in the Pantheon as heretics and abandoned them, but they seemed to be in the countryside around the Peloponnese. However, this ancient custom is still preserved and has become a tradition. This festival of the goddess of gratitude for the harvest is not fixed every year, but as long as the harvest of the year is acceptable, the simple farmers will take out the produce in their own land to entertain Past guests held a festival grand enough to thank the gods for their blessings.

This year’s celebration was very different from the past. As the Governor of the Moria Military District, Justinian actually participated as an ordinary guest, which naturally aroused a warm welcome from the local farmers. Although he was a little apprehensive at first, after seeing the polite young man in front of him with his own eyes, the originally timid villagers also loved Justinian from the bottom of their hearts. Not only because of the simple tax exemption, but also because it saved them from the oppression of the Latins. In the eyes of these simple people, Justinian is more like they worship the angels of the gods.

In front of the bonfire in the village, Justinian tasted the freshly brewed wine presented by the villagers, and watched the young guy and girl dancing for a while and found it interesting. In fact, before being invited by these honest people, he never thought that life in Greek villages would be much more comfortable than in cities. Even though the cities in the Middle Ages may sound tall and tall, they actually developed gradually as a transit point for the exchange of goods between villages at the beginning. Although in comparison, towns have more opportunities to earn a living and are safer to avoid the harassment of thieves, but the dense population and small space also result in a living environment far inferior to ordinary villages. At least here, Justinian can finally get rid of the stench on the muddy streets of the city and enjoy the light fragrance of garden fruits, vegetables and fruits.

"It would be nice to live a comfortable life like this for the rest of my life!" Justinian stretched his waist and complained. The young man at this moment has never relaxed like this before, even if he has a pile of straw behind him. Better than those soft and comfortable quilts. Even eating bread mixed with fine sand and rough bread but with fresh onion cream soup is far more flavorful than aristocratic delicacies in the city. The reason for all this is not because there is really a material transcendence in the countryside, but because of the warmth and coldness of the people. Justinian, who has returned to the city these days, has long been unwilling to deal with many troublesome things. It was not until I was here that I was far away from the hustle and bustle, and I was able to relax my mood. At this moment, I just feel that the so-called aristocratic status is worthless compared to this.

But at this moment, a woman's soft voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"It's not your style at all to be so lazy, Justinian!"

I saw Odosia also appeared in the rural festival, and the emperor wore a white dress, although she was simple, but it was different against the background of the campfire in the wild, plus after drinking a few glasses of wine A hint of blush on the snow-white face is even more glamorous and indispensable, which really made Justinian unexpectedly stunned.

"His Royal Highness, why are you here?" Justinian, who had only reacted for a while, looked at the woman in front of him in amazement and became cramped for a while.

Seeing Justinian’s reaction, Odosia chuckled and explained: “Of course it’s the same as you, invited by them!” During Justinian’s absence, she acted as a princess. The mediation prevented the nobles from taking the opportunity to take advantage of the annexation, and the imperial empress was also greatly loved among the bottom of the Greeks. Precisely because of this, Odosia, who walked into the people with an image of closeness to the people, also received this invitation, and she also accepted it happily, without any hesitation because of the difference in identity. So I happened to meet Justinian sitting on the straw at the villagers' bonfire dance.

"But your identity, Your Royal Highness," Justinian said with some worry when he saw Odosia who had already woken up most of the wine here.

"However, as Governor of Moria, you are not convincing at all to say these words~www.ltnovel.com~Do you think I still care about other people's eyes?" The empress in front of me interrupted After Justinian's words, she showed a look like a girl, and sat beside Justinian with her knees hugged, while Odosia was drunk and leaned on the boy's shoulder. Although she is the mother of a child, Odosia is actually only a little bit better than Justinian. In addition, the royal family's pampered skin care Bai Shengxue, coupled with a white dress is still like an unmarried girl, Ling Cha Stinney was also moved by it.

But this kind of thought was quickly suppressed by Justinian. Even though he had no special hobbies for married women, he had to admit that the emperor of the empire was really attractive to him. But her status is now not just that of the imperial empress and also the wife of Emperor Muzfius, even though she has not been crowned, she is also the empress of the empire in a sense. Unless it is a crazy person or someone who has his own ambitions like Leosgros, he will have a bad idea.

But Odosia on the side didn't think so much like Justinian, but was simply infected by the simple atmosphere of the village, enjoying the tranquility and peace in order to relieve the troubles in her heart for many days. And when her eyes fell on a pair of immature and nervous Justinian, she felt even more that the older boy in front of her was like her own brother after taking off the disguise of the little fox. It's so cute, I can't help but want to make fun of it. At this time, the finale of this year's harvest festival finally began. The melodious orchestral playing and the cheerful melody attracted everyone's attention, including Justinian and Odosia.
