In the magnificent palace, the sun shines through the colorful glazed tiles and falls on the carved beams and painted buildings, making them sparkle. On this day, the whole palace was immersed in an indescribable joy because Princess Lin Xiao was pregnant.

When the news spread to every corner of the palace, everyone's face was filled with bright smiles. The palace maids rushed to tell each other, and the eunuchs were also overjoyed, as if this was the most grand happy event in the palace.

Princess Lin Xiao sat in her gorgeous bedroom, her hands gently placed on her belly, her face full of happiness. Her eyes sparkled with tenderness, her heart filled with anticipation and longing for her future child. She imagined what the child would look like, imagined the cute scene of him babbling in her arms, and the joy in her heart was like a gurgling spring, nourishing her heart.

When the emperor heard the news, he was extremely pleased. He immediately put down his official duties and hurried to Princess Lin Xiao's bedroom.

"My dear daughter, I heard that you are pregnant. That's great!" the emperor said excitedly, his eyes full of joy.

Princess Lin Xiao smiled and stood up to salute, "Father, I am very happy too."

The emperor quickly helped her up and asked her to sit down. "Hurry up and sit down. Don't get tired. You are my baby now. You must take good care of yourself and the baby in your belly."

Princess Lin Xiao nodded obediently, "I know, I will be careful."

The emperor sat beside her and gently held her hand. "My grandson must be very intelligent and will definitely accomplish great things for our dynasty in the future."

Princess Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing, "Father, we don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet."

The emperor laughed, "I like them both, male and female. They are the future and hope of our dynasty."

For a moment, the palace was filled with laughter. The emperor and Princess Lin Xiao discussed the name of their future child and imagined the child's future together.

The imperial doctors in the palace were particularly attentive, coming to check Princess Lin Xiao's pulse every day and carefully asking about her physical condition. Various nourishing herbs and delicacies were continuously delivered to the palace to ensure that Princess Lin Xiao and her unborn child could receive the best care.

Princess Lin Xiao's personal maids were also extremely cautious and stayed by her side at all times, fearing that she would make the slightest mistake. They carefully prepared every meal for the princess and selected the most comfortable clothes and accessories.

Princess Lin Xiao also cherishes this child very much. She walks in the courtyard every day, feeling the warmth of the sun and the caress of the breeze. She gently touches her belly, talks to the baby in her belly, and shares her joy and happiness.

As the days passed, Princess Lin Xiao's belly gradually swelled, and her maternal glow became stronger and stronger. Everyone in the palace could feel her joy and expectation, and they all silently blessed her and her child.

During this special period, the palace was filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Everyone was looking forward to the birth of this new life and working hard for this upcoming little life. Princess Lin Xiao also spent her happy pregnancy period in this full of joy and love.

However, just as Princess Lin Xiao was happily looking forward to the birth of her child, danger was quietly approaching.

It was a seemingly ordinary morning, and Princess Lin Xiao was walking in the courtyard as usual. The sun shone softly on her, and everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful. However, when she walked to a rockery, she suddenly felt her feet slip, as if something was tripping her. Fortunately, the maid beside her was quick to support her and prevent her from falling.

Princess Lin Xiao felt a little confused, but she didn't take it too seriously, thinking it was just a small accident.

However, such "accidents" happened one after another. Once, when she was eating, she actually found a thin silver needle in the food. If she hadn't been careful, she would have eaten it by mistake. Another time, when she was resting in the palace, she suddenly smelled a pungent smell. After careful search, she found that someone had put some strange spices in the incense burner.

Princess Lin Xiao began to realize that this was not an ordinary accident, but someone was deliberately plotting against her. Her heart was filled with fear and worry. She didn't know who was behind it, nor did she know how to deal with it.

When the emperor learned of these things, he was furious. He immediately summoned the ministers and guards in the palace and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

"I will never allow anyone to harm my beloved daughter and grandson!" the emperor said angrily, "The mastermind behind this must be found out and severely punished!"

The palace was immediately plunged into a tense atmosphere. The guards patrolled everywhere, investigating every suspicious clue. The ministers also made plans to try to find the mastermind behind the scenes.

Princess Lin Xiao was filled with anxiety, she didn't know whether she and her child could survive this difficult time. She was worried every day, afraid of encountering danger again.

One night, Princess Lin Xiao was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly awakened by a slight noise. She opened her eyes and was horrified to find a dark figure standing in front of her bed.

"Who are you?" Princess Lin Xiao asked in horror.

The shadow didn't say anything, but rushed towards her. Princess Lin Xiao screamed and fought back desperately. At this critical moment, the guards outside the door heard the noise and rushed in to subdue the shadow.

After interrogation, it turned out that the shadow was sent by a concubine in the palace who was jealous of Princess Lin Xiao. She was dissatisfied with the emperor's favor for Princess Lin Xiao, so she was jealous and wanted to get rid of Princess Lin Xiao and her unborn child.

After the emperor learned the truth, he did not hesitate to banish the concubine to the cold palace and punished her severely.

However, the story did not end there. In the days that followed, Princess Lin Xiao continued to encounter various plots. Sometimes she was deliberately hit on the road, and sometimes her food was poisoned. Every time, Princess Lin Xiao was terrified.

Princess Lin Xiao suffered greatly both physically and mentally, and she began to become haggard and weak. The emperor saw this and felt pain in his heart. He increased the protection of Princess Lin Xiao and sent more guards and doctors.

During these difficult days, Princess Lin Xiao never gave up. She held her belly tightly, her heart full of love and expectation for the child. She believed that as long as she persisted, she would be able to give birth to the child safely.

Everyone in the palace was praying for her silently, hoping that she could escape danger as soon as possible and welcome the birth of a new life.

Finally, after going through countless hardships and dangers, Princess Lin Xiao welcomed the day of delivery. On that day, the whole palace was waiting nervously, and everyone's heart was full of expectations and hope.

After a long and painful struggle, Princess Lin Xiao finally gave birth to a healthy baby boy. When the baby's first cry sounded, cheers suddenly rang out in the palace. The emperor shed tears of excitement, hugged his grandson tightly, and his heart was filled with joy and emotion.

Princess Lin Xiao looked at her child with a happy smile on her face. She knew that all the pain and suffering she had experienced were worth it. In the days to come, she would use all her love to care for this child and let him grow up healthily and happily.
