In "Kangxi Dynasty", Xiaozhuang said that when Meier blooms, there will be more flowers. Is this a hint that Kangxi will seize the throne from Jiulong?

Yes, Xiaozhuang had already seen the ambitions of Kangxi's sons at that time, and the prince Yinfeng and the eldest son Yinti were already at odds with each other in the court, to the point of being at odds with each other.

Both of them have cultivated their own power behind the scenes. Once they are not handled well, it will bring turmoil to the entire court. Xiaozhuang has experienced a lot, and she has already predicted that such a situation may occur in the future.

Many people may not understand why she didn’t just say it. To use this method to hint, what if Kangxi couldn't get what she meant?

After Kangxi took charge, Xiaozhuang rarely appeared in the court. He had complete trust in his grandson and let him do it, but she silently helped him behind the scenes.

If it were not a big deal, something that threatened the stability of the court, she would almost never come forward again. She is using practical actions to support her grandson and protect her grandson's prestige.

So from then on, Xiaozhuang would not say anything explicitly, but would use hints to remind Kangxi. She didn't want to directly interfere with Kangxi's decision, so she reminded Kangxi in this way from behind. Her wisdom and magnanimity are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Xiaozhuang also knew that in the future, the situation of "nine sons seizing the legitimate sons" would be different from the past. Every child was his own heart, and whoever was killed or crippled was a matter of concern. Heart-wrenching stuff.

So, she wanted to use this hint to make Kangxi understand that seeing the situation clearly in advance could prevent this incident from happening.

Later, she asked Concubine Rong to stop Kangxi from deposing Yinreng. Concubine Rong did so, but she still failed to stop Kangxi, and eventually she lost herself for interfering in politics in the harem.
