Many viewers of the "Magnificent Century" series are accustomed to calling the Sultan's mother Valide. However, Valide is not a name, but a title that rightfully passes to the mother of the son who ascended the throne. The real name of the sultan's mother is Aishe Hafs.

When Aishe Hafsa fell seriously ill, according to the rules of the harem, Mahidevran, the mother of the elder Shehzade Mustafa, who was to take the throne after Suleiman, should take her place.

Mahidevran thirsted for power in order to take revenge on all her offenders and the Sultan knew about this, for this very reason he did not want to give the harem to the rule of Mahidevran.

But Ibrahim managed to convince the sovereign, because no one canceled the rules of the harem and the decision was made - the next Valide is Mahidevran.

Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska understands that she will not have peace in the harem now and is trying with all her might to send Makhidevran to Manisa with Mustafa, because also according to the rules of the harem, the mother should be near overlord.

But Sultan Suleiman judged in his own way and Mustafa leaves for Manisa without his mother, and Mahidevran, eager for revenge, begins to establish her order in the harem.

At that time, the chief treasurer, Iskender elebi, came to Istanbul, who considers Ibrahim an enemy. Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska tries to take advantage of this opportunity and lures Iskander to his side.

Together they look for ways to destroy Ibrahim and get Mahidevran out of the way.
