After I transmigrated, the cold king clung to me every day.

Chapter 219 The Seventh Princess Gives Birth to a Son

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Qianqian is already seven months pregnant. These seven months have been agonizing for her, every single moment.

From the early stages of pregnancy, morning sickness is a constant companion. No matter what I eat, I vomit it all up shortly after swallowing it.

For her, delicacies were no different from simple meals; in fact, the mere sight of food would send her stomach churning. Even so, for the sake of her unborn baby's healthy growth, she forced herself to endure the discomfort and try to eat a little.

Now, her figure has become noticeably bloated, her once slender legs are now swollen, and every step is extremely difficult. Her abdomen is high and protruding, like a heavy little mountain, causing her back and waist to ache.

She often needs to support her lower back and move her body slowly, her face full of fatigue and haggardness.

On this day, the sun shone brightly, the sky was as blue as a jewel, and there wasn't a single cloud in sight; it was a rare and beautiful day.

In the backyard of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, flowers bloomed in profusion, their fragrance filling the air, and birds sang merrily in the branches.

Lin Qianqian sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, looking weak and exhausted. She leaned back slightly, her hands gently supporting her protruding belly, her face pale and bloodless.

Her bangs were soaked with sweat, clinging to her cheeks in strands. She would sigh deeply from time to time, her breath filled with helplessness and despair.

Xiaodie stood to the side, her eyes filled with heartache and worry, and said cautiously, "Miss, would you like... me to help you back to your room to lie down..."

Lin Qianqian raised her head, her eyes filled with deep weariness. She waved her hand with a wry smile and said, "Oh—no need, I finally managed to sit down, let me rest for a bit! You have no idea how much I've been doing all day. Lying down, my back aches; sitting, I feel uncomfortable all over; and when I stand up, my belly feels so heavy, like it's going to pull me down. Not a single moment has been comfortable." As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh again, her eyes filled with helplessness about this long pregnancy.

Seeing Lin Qianqian in such distress, Xiaodie's eyes reddened, and she said in a tearful voice, "Miss, it really hurts to see you like this... Ahhh, pregnancy is so painful, I would rather die than get married or have children."

Hearing this, Lin Qianqian gently took Xiaodie's hand, her expression gentle, yet her eyes held the unwavering determination of someone who had been through it all. "Silly girl, don't say that. Pregnancy and childbirth are indeed hard work, but when you feel the little life inside you growing little by little, when you hear his heartbeat for the first time, when you feel him kicking for the first time, that wonderful and blissful feeling is incomparable to anything in this world. When the baby is born, and you see his rosy little face, and he gives you his first smile, you'll feel that all the hardship was worth it."

As she spoke, Lin Qianqian unconsciously stroked her belly, a gentle smile appearing on her face, as if she could already see her child's adorable appearance. Xiao Die listened to Lin Qianqian's words, nodding as if she understood, but the heartache for Lin Qianqian in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Upon hearing Lin Qianqian's words, Xiaodie's eyes reddened with heartache, her lips involuntarily pouting, her eyes filled with pity for her mistress.

She reached out and gently stroked Lin Qianqian's high, protruding belly, her movements so gentle as if afraid of hurting the little baby inside. She said helplessly, "Miss, you've suffered so much. Why do you have to suffer like this?"

Lin Qianqian keenly sensed Xiao Die's delicate care, and her heart warmed. She shook her head helplessly, forced a smile on her pale face, reached out and took Xiao Die's hand, patting it gently, as if to comfort the little girl who was worried about her.

But in an instant, Lin Qianqian's eyes dimmed. She lowered her head slightly, stroking her belly again. Thinking about the long days until her due date, the countless hardships that awaited her, and the unimaginable pain that she might face later, an undisguised fear and anxiety appeared on her face.

His brows furrowed unconsciously, his eyes filled with exhaustion and helplessness, and he muttered to himself, "There's still so much time to go, I really don't know how I'm going to get through this."

Despite her inner turmoil, she quickly rallied, her eyes revealing a mother's unique resolve, as if encouraging herself to bravely face everything for the sake of the child in her womb.

Just then, a maidservant hurried over to Lin Qianqian, her expression filled with excitement. She bowed and said urgently, "Your Highness, a messenger from the Princess's residence just reported that the Seventh Princess has given birth to a son, and both mother and child are safe! The Princess's residence specially sent someone to inform you of this good news."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian's previously weary face instantly lit up, her eyes shone like stars, and the corners of her mouth turned up high, a smile spreading from the bottom of her heart to her entire face.

She exclaimed with delight, turned to look at Xiaodie, and then said excitedly, "So fast?! That's wonderful! Hahaha~ The Seventh Princess has finally gotten her wish and successfully gave birth to a son. I must go and see her and the child."

Seeing Lin Qianqian's impatient look, Xiaodie's face was full of worry. She quickly reached out to support her, her brows furrowed, and said anxiously, "Oh, Miss, slow down! Your body can't take any more stress. The Seventh Princess is probably busy, so it won't make a difference if we wait a little longer. Let's wait for the Prince to return and have him accompany you. That would be safer."

Lin Qianqian agreed with Xiaodie's suggestion, nodding and smiling, "Alright, let's wait a bit longer! I don't want to move right now anyway, hehe—"

Even so, the smile on her face did not fade, and she must have been imagining the Seventh Princess's happiness as a new mother and the adorable little life in her arms.

Seeing her like this, Xiaodie shook her head helplessly, but couldn't help but smile. Her eyes were full of doting affection, her gaze gentle.
