Selim Rejected the Concubine Who Was Sent to Him | Magnificent Century Episode 129

"How can you prevent a concubine from the prince's bed?" I mean, the same way Hürrem prevented women from entering the sultan's bed (and, overall, Nurbanu's managing it a bit more successfully here too).

But Fahriye didn't want Dilshah to enter the room. She wanted her to feel more hatred towards Nurbanu

@@nielubieinceli Definitely get where you're coming from, but it doesn't really alter my stance. It's a clever move on Fahriye's part, but it also illustrates to both her and the viewer just how much of a hold Nurbanu's had on Selim and his princely harem (kind of the point, I think, since it seems Fahriye wanted to gather intel about Nurbanu from this too).

You know. Suleiman's old concubines in the harem probably trash talked Hurrem behind her back once she gained power and exclusive nights with Suleiman too. Considering she's all but blocked them from ever moving up in the harem.

I mean, that literally a thing that happens in the first season of the show 😅

​@@Redluna32 It does yeah. I'm mostly referring to when Hürrem was at the same position as Nurbanu is at this point. Having the power to actively prevent concubines being sent to Suleiman.
