‘Alam Panah, Prince Khuram and Mumtaz Mahal are blessed
with a 6th child, a baby boy named
Aurangzeb,’ a messenger from Agra
bowed against Nur Jahan and Jahangir, who sat at Huzoori Bagh with
Nur Jahan’s
young daughter Ladli Begum and were enjoying mangoes.
‘Oh, that’s wonderful. I’m eager to kiss my
grandson.
Unfortunately I’m at Lahore to handle the chaos at northern borders at Kandhar
so I’ll have to wait for it. Soon prince Sharyar will be on his way to thrash
Safvaid creating trouble. Only then I would be back to my capital Agra’ King
Jahangir got excited and almost swallowed a full Gulab Jaman. Ladli begum also
took one hurriedly.
‘Nur Jahan is a phupho (aunt) of Mumtaz and I’m phupo… oh
no…I think khala of Mumtaz’ hefty brood,’ Ladli begum grinned.
‘You’re not taking any, Nur Jahan. After all, your
relation of nur jahan and mumtaz mahal |
niece
Mumtaz Mahal, the daughter of your
beloved brother Asaf khan has blessed with a
baby boy.’ Jahangir himself presented tray towards her.
‘It’s only me who brought her in Agra fort and arranged
her marriage with prince khuram. Baby after baby, Mumtaz Mahal is clinching
more potency day by day. I don’t know what she has drunk to prince khuram that
he doesn’t see anywhere else in harem except Mumtaz. Even he has given her his
imperial seal Mehr Uzaz along with the immense allowance. How can she be
involved in Mughal court affairs?’ Nur Jahan pushed the tray of sweets back.

‘A fertile woman is more attractive and dominant than a beautiful one. At least In this case your niece has defeated you,’ Jahangir smirked and announced alms for needy in the city to celebrate the birth of new Mughal prince and a future emperor of Hindustan.
‘Alam Panah,’ Nur Jahan got furious,
‘You don’t take it at heart, after all she is your blood.
She knows to handle the men. Look at these coins embedded with your picture
instead of mine. A token of my love! No one can challenge your bonding and
power,’ Jahangir tossed the coins at one side and started to cough badly.
‘My brother, Asaf
khan was just an ordinary servant at Agra fort and now he is your prime
minister now. Even my father Gias Din is enjoying royal status just because of
me; but now these are challenging my writ and inciting Prince Khuram against
you. The victory at Ahmed Pur has exposed Khuram’s bad intentions to acquire
this realm. We should go back to Agra as soon as possible,’ Nur Jahan ordered
the servants to take Jahangir to his room and drowned in deep thoughts by
looking at her daughter ladli begum.
‘Where is Irravati?’ just than Nur Jahan noticed the
absence of Ladli begum’s personal kaneez Irravati.
‘She has gone to Shahi hamam,’ Ladli begum was still
enjoying the sweets.
‘Stop it, Ladli, just take care of your fattening body
and behave mature.’
‘I’ve heard that
you’re leaving for Kandhar soon to beat the Safvaid Empire there. How would
your kaneez live without you?’ Irravati’s voice was shivering with grief.
‘Where ever I’ll stay my dear, you would be always with
me. Your love and beauty hasn’t left any way of escape. If you wouldn’t be Nur
Jahan’s personal kaneez then I would definitely marry you. I’ll soon request Malika
Nur Jahan for your possession,’ Prince Shayar held Irravati in his arms.

‘You just pray for
my success. The victory at Kandhar would take me closer to throne. After the
end of Brother Prince Khusro; me and prince khuram are only contestants to win
the title of next Mughal king…,’ prince Sharyar paused after listening at the
knock at door.
Irravati got up and stood at one corner after watching
Murad entering the room. Murad peeped at her with murky eyes.
‘Ah, Murad, hope something important has dragged you
here,’ Prince Sharyar warmly welcomed his best friend. Irravati left the room.
‘I’ve heard that prince khuram and Mumtaz Mahal has
planned to kill you while expedition at kandhar. Their spies have entered out
rows. We better need to modify our plan, alter our routes and should transfer
our generals,’ Murad informed him.
‘Or we can change our party,’ Malika Nur Jahan entered
the room.
‘Would you marry my daughter, Ladli begum? My power and
vision will get a hold of throne for you. now we'll see who wins the throne mumtaz or nur jahan,’ she grinned.
It looked as prince Sharyar’s wish was on Nur Jahan’s Lips.
Mumtaz Mahal n Nur Jahan |
‘Why not, it would be my pleasure, Malika,’ Prince
Sharyar didn’t take time to miss this chance.
‘But soon I’m leaving for kandhar,’
‘not you but prince khuram will leave for northern borders.
I’ve called the meeting of generals and you can join us there. I want to
announce the engagement of you both at festivity of Jashn e Nauroz at Lahore fort.
I know this news will fall like thunder on Agra fort,’ Nur Jahan laughed and
left the room.
‘Mughal kings and prince don’t like to marry with mistress
or kaneez. They just match their mates with daughters of sultans, Rajas and warriors
for political reasons. This expedition to win Sharyar will only break your
heart,’ Murad came to Irravati.
‘Who cares of heart? I want to be Queen like Nur Jahan and
Mumtaz Mahal. No one can get into my way. Not even Ladli Begum. Sharyar is only mine,’ Irravati got
furious......
