Mansi, vey well written post.
There is no need for them to secretly meet, she will somehow ensure that she will have enough time for him during night out at Angoor Bagh. They will share & discuss their days diary during that hour and that will be more interesting than some fleeting visits during her pooja to take Aarti or to praise her about her singing. Moreover since she is handling the harem she can meet him when ever it calls for and she has easy access now than earlier. She can even ask for his time or send words for him to meet withour any hesitation even when he is busy with politics or with his other wife. So they can meet whenever they feel like and either for harem issue or personal. And with regard to her learning process of herem politics, Salima Begum is there for her and even Jiji Anga to uprise on the Mughal rules. Further there is no need to learn Mughal law to run the harem, one needs to learn to understand the other person's needs. If Jodha can fulfill that, then no one will question her back asking she did not plan her night with Jalal. She can encourage them to collectively do some recreation activities or some work which they are familiar and like to do. It could be embroidery, painting, doll making pottery, portrait making, anything and everything. She can organize more events like Meena Bazar but they need not have to sell only to Shehensha but also to others who appreciate. That way they will have some work to their idle mind and will have a better life than just thinking about Jalal's visit to their hojra or about their makeup and dresses. This will go very well with every one with some exceptions like Ruqu & MA & BB.
However with regard to BB's vote, Jalal was shocked and has mentally noted that. So sometime later, she will have to explain this to Jalal and may be even to HB & SB. SO let us not worry about this insecure creature.
Looks like Shareef will plan to attack Jalal and Sujamal might come to know about that and will rush back to Agra to safeguard Jalal. However Jodha on seeing him might scream at him for why he returned back despite her warning him to get last. That might give ample opportunity for Shareef to turn the table on Sujamal as the attacker and he tried saving Jalal and Maham other might support him. Jalal will be angry at Jodha for talking to Sujamal and also for allowing him to escape despite knowing he is an enemy of Jalal. he might call her that action as gaddary and may flare up at her in momentary rage and others (Ru & MA) might add gee to that fire to make blow it out proportion.
