Even if she was rooting for Bayezid, sending Nurbanu to Selim was the assist of the century by Hürrem.

selim only being responsible for two pregnancies and both of those by the same woman..... would not typically be a high bar but he is a sehzade in magnificent century and as a sehzade in magnificent century that is a truly impressive feat

#like literally no other dynasty character (sans cihangir) keeps it in his pants as much as he does #suleiman mustafa bayezid CANNOT relate. mehmed to a lesser extent but there is the caveat that he died young #i mean we do see selim sleeping w other women but historically and in-show the implication seems to be that he and his other partners #besides nurbanu take some sort of measure to prevent pregnancy #anyway mc's cast of men is so shitty and chronically horknee that i'm over here legitimately applauding selim for only conceiving kids twic #selim #selim ii #sehzade selim #sultan selim #muhteşem yüzyıl #muhtesem yuzyil #magnificent century #mc tag

it appears that the tension and discord between Selim and Mihrimah reached their zenith when Selim sought to appropriate one of his sister Mihrimah’s palaces—an estate she had inherited from her husband, Rüstem Pasha—and to bestow it upon one of his own daughters married to the Kapudan Pasha, possibly Gevherhan, the wife of Piyale Pasha. This attempt seems to have been motivated solely by a desire to provoke and affront his sister. His father, Sultan Süleyman, however, warned him firmly against persisting in such conduct.

" Because the Sultan harbored suspicions regarding Selim’s intentions, he frequently questioned the illustrious pasha about Selim’s actions and state of mind. When His Majesty later suffered from an illness affecting his legs, he sent Selim lavish gifts—far more generous than customary—in order to keep him calm and compliant.The Sultan, moreover, repeatedly regretted having married his daughters to men of such towering authority and influence.As I recorded in my letter dated 12 October 1562, Selim requested—on behalf of his son-in-law, the Kapudan Pasha—that the former palace of Rüstem Pasha, which at that time, and indeed still, belonged to the Sultana, be granted to him, with the sole intention of offending her. This request was denied, and Selim was instructed to restrain himself and to proceed with caution.Fearing the potential consequences of this affair, the Sultan did not deem it sufficient merely to abandon his plans—already underway—to travel to Adrianople in 1562. Instead, in the following November, he ordered the execution of Duraq Çelebi, who was said to have incited Selim to such fantasies. Selim was informed that this execution had been carried out for legitimate and necessary reasons.Although Selim outwardly displayed no sign of distress, it was evident that his inner disposition was entirely to the contrary.By this course of action, the Sultan rid himself of a grave burden and instilled profound fear in others, to the point that every man came to dread for his own life."
