It was already close to evening when she returned to Swan Castle after the walk, and as soon as Alice stepped into the gate, she was taken away by Xu Lina, saying that she was putting on makeup and changing clothes for styling, while Liliana walked to the side hall and sat with the family members chatting.

"Mom, you're taking this again, it's really heavy."

Upstairs in the cloakroom, Alice sat in front of the dressing table and saw Xu Lina take out the so-called family heirloom, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"Yes, then it's good to change it" Xu Lina heard what her daughter said, she put the wooden box back very happily, took out a small box from the cabinet instead, opened it and took out the crown inside, and said, "How about this? birthday gift, pink crystal tiara, don't you like cherry blossoms very much, the cherry blossoms are carved on it, and the ring can be fixed on the hair, not very heavy, only more than two catties."

Alice squinted her eyes and watched the two-pound crown being tightly buckled by Xu Lina on the freshly made hair, and she clearly felt that her head sank a little, and said in a muffled voice, "Mom, if I get shorter, you will definitely be harmed."

"What, I'm harmful, hey, this eldest lady, I'm dressing you up beautifully, can't you see it, look at your image, how good-looking, the French princess is not as beautiful as you when she comes out, what's more, the French princess and his father will also come today, maybe you are more beautiful than his daughter, and I want me to style his daughter, so that I can still pit him" Xu Lina patted Alice's shoulder, and raised her eyebrows with bright eyes.

"You dare to cheat the president's money, you really deserve to be the world's beauty master, Ms. Xu" Alice listened to her mother's arrogant tone, and she had to accept it if she didn't want to be convinced, this lady didn't look at her as a beautician, in fact, ah..... The ability is very large, and it is ..... Even the administrative officials in the United States have been cheated of a lot of money, so now they are all thinking about this base camp, we still have to rely on the hotel to eat, Mom.... Don't get grudged then.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Christmas, at eight o'clock in the evening, the original very deserted Swan Castle has now become very lively, as if the guests of the hotel headquarters in front of them have come here, everyone is dressed appropriately, and there is a gift box in their hands, and the gift box is handed over to the hotel staff or servants after entering the door.

The host hasn't appeared yet, as parents, Xu Lina and Park Zhixian still have to say hello to the guests everywhere, politely, and then change to another person to continue to be polite, Xu Jianlin and Liliana just sat in the distance and watched calmly, even Pani was pulled by Xu Lina to entertain those guests who came from Asia and the United States to congratulate, such as ..... Some of the cooperative merchants who came to deliberately curry favor.

Alice stood in the cloakroom on the second floor, looked down at the long skirt on her body, even if it was red, why was it still half exposed, I don't know if it was very cold in winter, although the embroidery on the clothes looked better, the texture of the clothes was better, and it was very suitable for her skin tone, but.... Well, I really can't say anything other than cold.

Outside the door, Shaffer looked at the time on his watch, opened the door and said to Alice, who was still sulking in the mirror, "Miss, it's time, you can go down"

"Thank God..... I can finally go down to eat" The first thing Alice thought of when she heard that she could go downstairs was to get two pieces of food first, and then deal with the so-called guests who came to congratulate her.

On the first floor, whether it is the living room, or the corridor, or the side hall, there are many people wearing dresses or suits, and they are wearing winter coats directly, and when they are chatting with friends or people they have just met, they feel that a place in the castle suddenly quiets down, and they turn their heads curiously to look.

A woman, a very beautiful woman, a woman with talking eyes, was walking down the stairs in a long embroidered red dress, and with each step, the air around her became a little colder, her hair was coiled high behind her, the pink crown was stuck right on her head, and the ruby in the center was shining blindly.

The superficial phenomenon doesn't say anything, this woman looks very beautiful, but she feels very cold when she gets close, a pair of cold eyes calmly sweep over the bodies of the people around her, the lips with red lip gloss are tightly closed, I don't know what she sees, the corners of her mouth are curled, and the whole face becomes a kind of evil look, looking very bad and charming.

Alice was walking down the stairs, obeying her mother and grandparents, and showing the etiquette of an eldest lady clearly, even walking quietly and generously, but when she saw Pani coming out of the corner, she immediately broke down.

Pani still heard the news that Alice had gone downstairs, so he walked out of the side hall, looked at his sister's beautiful and beautiful appearance, and walked over with a smile, "Baby, come over quickly, I'll wait for you"

"Sister, my mother has an explanation, I must maintain etiquette, and I can't mess up" Alice ran over happily, but when she thought of her mother, she returned to her original smile and walked around with a steady pace.

"Roar, do you still care about this? don't run around when the time comes" Pani looked at his sister's well-behaved appearance, and suddenly had a feeling of inapplicability, so he took her and walked to the living room with a funny hand, "Oh, my mother still has an explanation, there will be two hundred guests who will come to you tonight to say hello, but don't run away."

"Two hundred...... God...."Alice looked at the drawing room that was getting closer and closer, turned her head to look at Shavre for help, and saw that he looked like he didn't care about himself, and narrowed her eyes resentfully, "Shaffer, you have to look at it, don't let those people come near me"

Shavre glanced at Alice calmly and nodded, "I will, Miss"

With Shaffer's assurance, Alice gradually relaxed, but ......

As soon as they came to the living room, they didn't have time to say hello to the elders, and a large number of people surrounded them, the enthusiasm, the eyes, and the kind words, as if it was their own child who celebrated their birthday, as kind as they were, made Alice, who was already resistant to strangers, stunned and uncomfortable.

Parney, who brought Alice, was also stunned, and as soon as he entered the door, more than 20 people came around, a happy birthday, a happy Christmas, and the speed of speech was so fast that even he couldn't interject, looking at the smiling guests around him, and he couldn't shirk it.... It's hard.

After Alice reacted, she reluctantly put out a smile, smiled politely at the guests on both sides and nodded, "Thank you for your congratulations, Alice will remember it, the banquet is about to start, please take a seat quickly, otherwise the seat will be snatched away by others."

A relaxed sentence can break this embarrassing situation, and it can also leave a good impression on others, Alice's relaxed performance made Parney and Shaffer a little surprised, and they couldn't help but look at her a few more times, in fact.... Think about it for a while, this girl still has an artificial intelligence behind her.

Getting rid of this group of people, Alice silently followed the direction given by Thea and walked towards the main seat, nodding and smiling with unknown people from time to time on the way, and not picking out the rules and regulations of the master's etiquette.

"Baby, you sit here, you can do your own business at the beginning, it's very simple" Pani stood next to him and whispered his words, waved his hand and walked away, he has been busy for so long, but he can be regarded as resting, and it is the right thing to retreat quickly.

Alice sat in her seat and looked at the more and more people in the living room, and they were all looking at herself, could it be that she was too outstanding, or was she sitting in too obvious position, could it be that they all knew me.

Unwilling to let Alice continue to wander in a daze, the caring Thea still took the initiative to speak, "Miss, according to the rules of the banquet, today's opening remarks are from you, basically to thank the guests for being there, and then to thank the family"

"I know, Xiaoya... I'm just, I'm not very used to this kind of scene" This sentence is also true, from childhood to adulthood, Alice rarely attends as a host, and in front of not fans, it is this group of respected or well-rounded chaebol celebrities, if you say a wrong word, it will be a shame.

"Ahem, everybody"

I had no choice but to pay attention to the hundreds of people in the living room, and the so-called relatives and VIPs were all looking at themselves, and they had to stand up and speak with a smile on their faces.

Most of the people in the living room looked at Alice, and when they looked at this beautiful girl, they also heard her voice, crisp, ear-to-ear, magnetic, very good, and at the same time as the voice came out, some other people in the room also looked at it, waiting for her to continue.

"Thank you very much for coming, and for attending my banquet on a holiday like Christmas, so that Alice will always remember your kindness," Alice said as she listened to Thea's prompt. Some people may still be very unfamiliar with me, I am Alice, the owner of this castle, the future master of the Miracle Forest, maybe this sentence is a little inappropriate to say in front of my grandfather, but in order to leave an impression, I can only say this, in this place, I am such an identity, please advise, and, thank you very much, everyone is the most honored guest for Swan Castle, Swan Castle, will also show the most noble treatment to guests"

"Today is my 21st birthday, specifically, after 12 o'clock, I am 21 years old, I don't live long, I don't see much insight, in the days to come, join there is cooperation or entanglement, please all guests, bear with me, the previous words have been said, the chef has prepared a lot of exquisite dishes and wine, please enjoy it with peace of mind"

After speaking, Alice nodded slightly to the guests in front of her, and sat back in her seat with a standard perfect smile amid applause.

On the right seat of the living room, Xu Jianlin looked at the situation lightly, when his granddaughter spoke, there may be many doubts in the eyes around him, as well as some eyes with other purposes, but just these two paragraphs won his own heart and impressed others.

"Lina, you go and greet the others, I'll go talk to Ellie" Seeing that Alice's expression became cold, Xu Jianlin still got up and walked over.

"Okay, father" Xu Lina sat next to her, looked at Xu Jianlin with a little doubt, and happened to see Alice in the afterglow, not knowing what she was thinking, and gradually became distracted.
