From the first days of her appearance in the harem, Nurbanu allowed herself a lot of unnecessary things. To recall at least how she threw herself at the feet of Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska with a request to make her a concubine of Shehzade Selim.
This girl knew exactly what she wanted and confidently walked towards her goal.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska - the sultan saw that the girl was cunning and smart and decided that it was she who could direct her son Selim on the right path.
And so it happened, Nurbanu did not disappoint her mistress. She was able to reason with Selim and discourage him from bad habits.
But as you know, appetite comes with eating.
When the sovereign first appointed Selim as regent of the state, Nurbanu realized that it was Selim who could become the future ruler, and after the execution of Shehzade Mustafa, Selim's chances for the throne increased significantly. But Bayezid constantly gets in the way and she methodically began to play off the brothers.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska understood that Nurbanu was not so simple, and would go to great lengths to achieve her goal. Then Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska threatened the insolent concubine that if she did not calm down, then in a bag she would go to conquer the waters of the Bosphorus.
But the concubine was not going to calm down, the future Nurbanu is about to, in which she sees herself as a new mistress.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska - the sultan is not young, and no longer so resourceful, it would be time to clear the way for the young, but first you need to get rid of Bayazid and Khurijihan. And she deftly deals with the latter.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska - the sultan, having learned that Nurbanu was involved in the death of Khurijikhan, decided that it was time to get rid of this girl and ordered the concubine to be thrown into prison.
But Nurbanu had “compromising evidence” on Khyurrem, the Sultan, and she threatened that if she threw her into prison, she would tell the sovereign who was actually guilty of the death of his favorite Nazenin.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska - the sultan had no choice but to concede. In this impudent girl she saw herself in her youth and understood that Nurbanu would do anything to achieve her goal.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska - the sultan orders Fakhriya to get rid of Selim's concubine, but she did not succeed in fulfilling the order. And Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska - the Sultan went to eternal rest.
Ultimately, Nurbanu achieved her goal - she became the new mistress of the harem.
