Aladdin and the Magic Lamp
Source
After having passed a very strange wedding night and being returned to the bridal room, the two newlyweds have to process what happened to them. And, obviously, they are unable to understand.
When the princess tells her parents what she saw happening, the sultan and his wife do not believe her, which is understandable.
ON THE TWENTY-FIRST NIGHT
Sheherazade said:
Be that as it may, the fate of the two spouses, for a first wedding night, was nothing but very distressing and very calamitous.
The next morning, without Aladdin needing to rub the lamp again, the genie, according to the order given to him, came of his own accord to await the awakening of the master of the lamp. And, as he was late in waking, he uttered several exclamations which terrified the princess, who could not see him. And Aladdin opened his eyes; and, as soon as he had recognized the genie, he rose from beside the princess, and went a little aside, to be heard only by the genie, and said to him: "You to fetch the vizier's son from the cabinets; and come back and put him in the bed, where he was. Then carry them both to the sultan's palace, to the very place where you took them. And, above all, watch them carefully to prevent them from caressing or even touching!" And the genie of the lamp answered by hearing and obedience and hastened to go first and take the languishing young man out of the water closet and lay him on the bed, beside the princess. Then, in less time than it takes to blink, he transported them both to the bridal chamber, in the sultan's palace, without their being able to see or understand what was happening to them, or by what means they moved so quickly. And besides, that was the best thing that could have happened to them, for the mere sight of the dreadful genie, servant of the lamp, would have, without a doubt, terrified them to death.
No sooner had the genie transported the two newlyweds to the palace room than the sultan and his wife, impatient to know how the princess, their daughter, had spent this first wedding night, and eager to congratulate her and to be the first to see her and wish her happiness and many future delights, made their morning entrance. And they approached, deeply moved, the bed of their daughter, and kissed her tenderly between the two eyes, saying to her: “Blessed be your union, O daughter of our hearts! And may you see germinate from your fecundity a long line of beautiful and illustrious descendants, who will perpetuate the glory and the nobility of your race! Ah! tell us how you spent that first night, and how your husband behaved towards you!" And, having thus spoken, they were silent, awaiting her answer! And suddenly they saw her, instead of showing a fresh and smiling face, burst into tears and looked at them with big sad eyes full of tears.
Then they wanted to question her husband, and looked at the side of the bed where they thought he was still lying; but he had just left the room, just as they came in, to go and wash himself of all the filth that smeared his face. And they thought he had gone to the palace hammam to take the customary bath after consumption. And they turned again towards their daughter and questioned her anxiously with gestures, look, and voice, the reason for her tears and her sadness. And, as she continued to be silent, they thought that only the modesty of the first wedding night prevented her from speaking and that her tears were tears of circumstance; and they stood still for a while, not wanting to insist too much. But as this situation threatened to last for a very long time, and as her tears only increased, the queen could no longer wait; and, in a humorous tone, ended by saying to the princess: “Come, my daughter, will you finally answer me and answer your father? And are you going to do these ways with us for a long time, which has already lasted too long? Me too, my daughter, I was a new bride like you and before you! but I knew how to have the tact not to make these offended chicken manners last too long. And you forget, moreover, that you are presently lacking in the respect you owe us, by continuing not to answer our questions!"
At these formal words from her mother, the poor princess, overwhelmed on all sides at the same time, saw herself obliged to break the silence which she was maintaining, and, heaving a great and very sad sigh, she replied: "Allah forgive me if I failed in the respect that I owe to my father and my mother! but my excuse is that I am extremely disturbed and very moved and very sad and very amazed at all that has happened to me this night! And she began to relate all that had happened to her the previous night, not as things had really happened, but as she had been able to judge of them only by her eyes. She tells how, barely lying in her bed, next to her husband the son of the vizier, she had felt the bed move under her, how she had seen herself transported in the twinkling of an eye from the bridal chamber in a house she had never known before, as her husband had been separated from her, without her being able to know how he had been removed and returned, how he had been replaced, throughout the night, by a handsome young man, very respectful, moreover, and extremely attentive who, so as not to see himself exposed to abusing her, had put his bare saber between them and had fallen asleep, his face turned towards the wall, and how finally, in the morning, once her husband had returned in bed, she had been transported with him again, to their nuptial chamber, in the palace, where he had then hastened to get up to run from there to the hammam to get rid of a heap of horrible things which covered his face! And she added: “And it was at this moment that I saw you both come in, to wish me good morning and to ask me how I was doing! Alas on me! All I have to do now is die!" And, having thus spoken, she hid her head in the pillows, crying with painful sobs.
When the sultan and his wife heard these words from their daughter Badrou'l-Budour, they were amazed, and looked at each other, with white eyes and long faces, not doubting that she had lost her mind because of that night when her virginity had been harmed for the first time. And they would not believe any of her words; and her mother said to her, in a whispering voice...
— At this point in her narration, Scheherazade saw the morning appear and quietly fell silent.

I could imagine the stress that the newlywed couple is feeling because of what the Genie did to them. So, it seems that Aladdin has prevented the couple from spending their first night together; ok that's obvious. He did it because he doesn't want the couple to form a bond which usually happens on the first night. However, what confuses me is that he instructed the Genie to return them back to the palace.
Now I'm wondering what Aladdin is planning to do next. Does he intend to do this every night? It doesn't sound like a good plan; sooner or later the Sultan will discover what's happening. Right now, the Sultan and his wife think that the Princess is hallucinating but I don't it will last that long.
At this point, I pity the Princess because she is so confused about what's happening between them and Aladdin. She may be is asking herself what did she do to make Aladdin do this to her. Although Aladin treats her well, I think there's a need for some explanation on the part of Aladdin. Should he tell the Princess his true intentions or will he keep playing things like he just did?
I actually don't know and I have no clue. But looking back to Aladdin's actions in the previous parts of the story... I think Aladin will surprise you with his plan. What I can right now is that Aladdin is a gentleman and he wants to do is to be with the Princess. He may be planning something amazing to achieve his goal.
I'm wondering what's gonna happen in the next part of this story. We'll find out tomorrow :)
During the previous night, he already told the princess: "I will be careful not to touch you, before the time has come and before you have become my lawful wife"
Oh, that was the hint. So he still wants to marry the Princess (of course!). I missed that important detail in the previous one. Thanks!
The princess's experience of her wedding night was distressing and calamitous, but it was not an accurate reflection of reality. She only saw the surface-level events that were happening around her, but did not have knowledge of the true nature of the situation, such as the involvement of the genie and Aladdin's plan to prevent any inappropriate behavior.
This raises the question of how much we can truly know about the world around us. Our perception is limited by our senses, which can be deceived or manipulated, and our interpretation of events is influenced by our personal biases and experiences. This can lead to a gap between what we believe to be true and what is actually true
Story has a turning point here, No one would have expected that Alladin would ordered the Ginie to take princess and his newly husband to the Sultan's Palace, He has the princess and he could do anything to her as he wants.
Hurting her was also easy for him, even he could have vanished him by just ordering the Ginie, But AS the Alladin has become a great and humble boy and he want to put positive and kind impression on the princess and he allow the princess to go to his father palace.
Though the Alladin behavior was kind and noble, but She was frighten from what had happened to her Last night, It Would had unbelievable and unacceptable for any normal human. Even it was hard for Sultan and his wife to believe on it when princess Told them.
Now What could be the purpose of Alladin to sent the Princess back to palace ? May be he want to get revenge from the Sultan, but how ? There are a lot of questions running in my mind.
Alladin Also ordered the Ginie to take care the princess and not allow the Vizeir son to touch the princess. Still it is unknown Why the Sultan backed from his Promise which he made to Alladin's MOther, May be in the next part it may be revealed.
The princess was the victim, and this night, the princess was frightened. If we truly love someone, in the end, we must hope that the other person can be happy, regardless of whether we ourselves are in this happiness or not. If the person I love is unhappy and unhappy, I myself must be eager to bear all the suffering on behalf of the other person. So, if the person I love can be happy, then I will still choose to give up
Magic and what's unknown are hard to believe in as the mind simply cannot explain and process them. So those not open-minded will think of everything as some hallucination. The Badrou'l-Budour princess can barely understand what happened, so how can their parent just from few words? Nevertheless, the magic surrounds the story and I only wonder where it will take the story next.
After Aladdin and Princess Badrou'l-Budour spend a sincere and silent night together, Aladdin tells the genie to take the princess and her vizier son husband back to the sultan palace. In the morning, the sultan and the princess's mother question her about what happened on the night and if she was happy.
The princess tries to express with her own words the wondering adventure letting their parents amazed by it and thinking that it was not real. Will be that a crucial point in the story where the princess will discover true love and a life full of magic and adventure near Aladdin? I think yes.
I found this phrase very funny.
After such a wedding night, I don't think the bride and groom have much desire to continue the marriage, but I'm afraid it doesn't depend on them but on their parents, who are the ones who have agreed to the union. A contract that will not be easy to break for Aladdin.
The way we see from the beginning Aladdin is a very simple and good person and still he did as the princess was crying so he thought that she should be sent back to her house. He could have done wrong with the princess if he wanted but he loved her and when a man loves someone he can never do wrong with her.
Aladdin could have done a lot of evil to the Wazir's son if He wanted to but he didn't do anything. Wasir's son don't know what happened that day. When the princess reached home, she was very worried and in tension and the sultan was also very worried that it was the first night of the princess's wedding and where the princess had spent and the dream that the princess had, she did not know where she was and since when.
Azadi was being asked, everyone is asking, but the princess is so depressed that she can't tell anyone anything. This story is getting more and more interesting day by day and we will find out what will happen tomorrow in the upcoming part why Aladdin has sent shezadi back and now what will Allah Deen say to Sultan. When a person loves someone and the other person does not like him, then the person should leave this decision to that person. Azadi was also sent home. As far as I am concerned, whatever decision the princess takes, Allah Din will accept it.
I think Aladdin has decided from the beginning to send the newlyweds back.
Yeah sir. Now let's see what the Sultan does with Aladdin as far as I am concerned the Sultan will try to do something bad to Aladdin.
At present, it seems that the love between Aladdin and the princess is not romantic at all
It is still unclear what will happen next in this story because every day a new twist is revealed, as was the twist yesterday when Aladdin moved the princess and her husband from their palace to a place of his own making and just like that today he moved them back from his place to his place.
No one understands what is going on in the mind of Aladdin, what will be the next move. But all the stories we have read so far suggest that Aladdin wants to make a good impression on the princess because he loves her, he doesn't want anyone to touch her.
Aladdin is truly in love with the princess, that's why he didn't even touch the princess despite spending the whole night with her. Even the princess's husband can't even touch her, whose duties will be imposed by Aladdin.
Now the next part of the story is that the Sultan's son will come back and tell everyone what happened to him, It would be hard to believe because no one has ever actually seen it happen. And this may also occur in their mind If Aladdin had done something wrong, he had a chance he did nothing wrong with the princess.
It will be known in the next part of the story what happens next and we all are waiting for it
