The fate of Mihrimah - the Sultan evokes sympathy for many. The mistress, who is the only daughter of the padishah, was forced to marry the unloved pasha.
It would seem that the young sultana took the blows of fate and all her dreams of love, hid it in a secluded corner of her soul, firmly locked it up.
But, beloved aunt Fatma - the sultan constantly fiddled with her soul, reminding that Mihrimakh had the right to decide for herself whom to love and with whom to live. After all, the sovereign cannot refuse his favorite.
Later Mihrimah with Rustem Pasha receives the Persian shehzade Elkar Merza in his palace. The lady's heart began to beat and tremble again, and later, having received a mysterious letter from him - Mihrimakh decides to take a desperate step - to divorce Rustem - Pasha and marry someone she chooses.
Only later it will become known that the letter was written not by the prince at all, but by Fatma - the sultan.
Mihrimah, crushed by the news, begins to think about how to take revenge on his aunt. And a suitable opportunity soon presented itself.
The faithful servant Mihrimah learned that Fatma - the Sultan and Elkar Merzu secretly meet. Here was the opportunity to take revenge on both of them.
Mihrimah waited until the couple in love would retire and sent the cadi's assistant and servants to meet them.
The cadia's assistant took the lovers by surprise and accused them of adultery. And if this news becomes known to the sovereign, then the fate of both is a foregone conclusion. Fatma - the Sultan will be sent into exile, and the Persian prince will lose his head.
But, oddly enough, Rustem Pasha saved the couple. Having learned about what had happened, he decided not to endure "quarrels in public" because the reputation of the dynasty is above all, and at the same time to get rid of the rival and sister of the sovereign.
Rustem Pasha told Fatma that he would leave this event a secret, but she must go to the sovereign and ask permission for nicknames with Elkar Merza.
Revenge of Mihrimah failed, it turned out that she did not poison the life of the aunt, but made her happy, because soon the sovereign would give his consent to this nickname.
