Son of a Concubine

Jian Guozhi was reading the scrolls of the petitions which had come from the three villages near the capital. "Your highness, the Fourth Prince wants to see you," a maidservant informed Jian Guozhi who told her to send the Prince in. He put the seal aside on the table and waited for Nianzu to come in.

Nianzu greeted the First Prince as he entered his study room. "Please take a seat, Fourth Brother," stated Jian Guozhi. Nianzu pulled the chair out for him and sat on it.

"What happened that you suddenly wanted to see me?" Jian Guozhi queried.

"Elder First Brother, I went to the village nearest to the market. I found that the condition is not good there, and the finances given to the village are not sufficient," asserted Nianzu.

"Who is the Village Headman?" Jian Guozhi questioned.
