approach him, and while he offers him a dagger adorned with gemstones, as a wedding present ,sultan warns Rustem ,He says him that if he serves the dynasty without
arrogance and pride, then this dagger will protect him. But if the opposite happens,
then this dagger will mark his end.

and tells Bali Bey that time has come for him to marry. Suleyman gives to his
daughter a nacklace created by himself as a gift and dedicates her a poem ........
Rustem sees Bali bey full of thoughts on the
balcony and tells him that, if his marriage troubles him now that he has become
Vizier e aval he can take care of him and send him home. Bali bey replies that
he is in this position by the order of Sultan and only he can dismiss him, no one else ..

Mihrimah looks at her without speaking and thinks how she ended up there .. At night Mihrimah with sad face,is getting ready for the wedding night. Rustem takes off her veil and says that he has been
waiting too long for this moment, although, she herself had told him not to have big dreams. He tells her that he doesn’t care about offices and shows her a bottle of poison, kneeling in front of her. He tells her that he can die right now if
she wants, and approaches the bottle in his mouth. Mihrimah prevents him from
drinking it with her hand and he gets her hand and kisses it.

Lutfu pasha decides to implement the laws of Islam, closing haunts with bad reputation. At
the Council pashas inform Sultan that Queen Isabella, is being threatened by
Ferdinand, after the death of her husband, King Zapolia.They are concerned
about the future of the alliance because her son is still too young to become king.
Rustem recommends to send their own envoy to inform them what is happening there and Sultan agrees...
Mihrimah doesn’t have enough milk, so they call a
nurse to feed the baby. Her name is Emine.
At night ,Suleyman, Rustem and Hurrem are eating together. Hurrem praises Rustem that he is a very good husband,
something that pleases Suleyman. After Hurrem and Rustem have exchanged
meaningful looks, Rustem tells Sultan that Shehzade Mustafa gave money to
janissaries, for celebrating the birth of the child.. Hurrem notes that something like
that isn’t permitted to a prince.. She goes on saying that his one and only purpose
is to please the janissaries, something which isn’t right. Suleyman hears the
conversation silent. When Rustem leaves ,Hurrem full of hypocrisy, tells Suleiman,
that he shouldn’t feel sad about what Shehzade Mustafa did ,since he did out of love for
his niece. Suleyman continues to remain silent, but leaves the table, resenting for
the discussion. Hurrem smiles satisfied.
Lutfu and Shah are talking about Mehmet
and why he hasn’t gone yet to rule a province. Shah tells Lutfu to talk to Sultan
about this matter, so they would be able to get rid of Hurrem as she will have to
follow Mehmet.
