"Does not give me the expected result" is not very informative. Your
code makes sense to me. So I cannot tell you why the results don't
match your expectations.
Things are often more clear when using a real example with real data.
The example below reproduces your code but now for a dataset we all
have access to, so we can all see the results and see if they are as
expected. Can you tell us what in this example is not as you expected
or if this is as expectd, what in this example is different from your
data?

*------------- begin example ---------
sysuse auto, clear
mkspline mpg1 21 mpg2=mpg, marginal
reg price mpg1 mpg2
xi: reg price i.foreign*mpg1 i.foreign*mpg2
predict yhat
twoway line yhat mpg if foreign == 0, sort || /*
*/ line yhat mpg if foreign == 1, sort || /*
*/ scatter price mpg if foreign == 0 || /*
*/ scatter price mpg if foreign == 1, /*
*/ legend(label(1 "domestic") label(2 "foreign") /*
*/ label(3 "domestic") label(4 "foreign")) /*
*/ ytitle(price)
