Aladdin and the Magic Lamp
Princess Badrou'l-Budour
Source
No, there was not a third night similar to the two calamitous ones for the newlyweds.
And the goals that Aladdin set are all reached: the princess is no longer married to the vizier's son and she is still a virgin.
ON THE TWENTY-THIRD NIGHT
Sheherazade said:
Princess Badrou'l-Budour said: "Have pity on me, O my father, and make your hearing and your heart sympathize with my sorrows and my emotion!" And the sultan, whose heart was pitiful, and who no longer felt the arousing presence of his wife, leaned over to his daughter, and kissed and cuddled her, and soothed her dear soul. Then he said to her: "And now, my daughter, calm your mind and refresh your eyes! Tell your father in all confidence, in details, the incidents which put you, this night, in such a state of emotion and terror!" And the princess, her head in the care of her father, told, without forgetting anything, all the unfortunate things that had happened to her during the two nights she had just spent, and ended her story by adding: "And then, O my beloved father, it is even better that you question the son of the vizier, so that he can confirm my words to you!”
And the sultan, hearing the story of this strange adventure, was at the extreme limit of perplexity, shared the sorrow of his daughter, and felt his eyes wet with tears, so much he loved her. And he said to her: “Certainly! my daughter, it is I alone who am the cause of all the annoying things that happen to you since I married you to a stupid boy who does not know how to defend you and protect you from these singular adventures. Because, in truth, it is your happiness that I wanted, by this marriage, and not your misfortune and your decline! But, by Allah! I'm going to call the vizier and his son, the moron, right away and ask them to explain all these things! But, however that may be, you can be completely at ease, my daughter! because these facts will not be repeated any more, I swear it to you by the life of my head!" Then he left her in the care of his wives, and returned to his chambers, seething with anger.
And immediately he summoned his grand vizier; and as soon as the vizier presented himself in front of him, he shouted out to him: “Where is your son, the moron? And what did he tell you about the events of the past two nights? The grand-vizier, amazed, answered: “I do not know, O great king, what it is about! My son has said nothing to me that can explain to me the anger of our king! But, if you allow me, I will immediately go find him and interrogate him!" And the sultan said: “Go! And come back soon to bring me the answer!" And the grand-vizier, his nose very elongated, went out, bending his back, and went in search of his son, whom he found in the hammam washing from the filth which covered him. And he cried out to him, “O son of a bitch, why have you hidden the truth from me? If you don't let me know the facts of the last two nights right away, this day will be your last!" And the son lowered his head and answered: “Alas! O my father, only shame has prevented me until now from revealing to you the unfortunate adventures of these two nights, and the unspeakable treatment that I suffered, without having the possibility of defending myself, or even of knowing how and by the power of what enemy forces all this happened to us both, in our bed!" And he told his father the whole story, in detail, without forgetting anything. But there is no point in repeating it. And he added: “As for me, O my father, I prefer death to such a life! And, before you, I make the triple oath of final divorce from the sultan's daughter! So I beg you to go and find the sultan, and have him accept the declaration of nullity of my marriage with his daughter Badrou'l-Boudour! Because it is the only way to see this mistreatment stop and to have peace of mind! And then I can fall asleep in my bed, instead of spending my nights in the toilets!"
On hearing these words of his son, the grand-vizier was very saddened. His life's wish had been to see his son married to the sultan's daughter, and it cost him dearly to renounce this great honor. Although convinced of the necessity of divorce under such conditions, he said to his son: “Certainly, O my son! it is not possible to endure any more such treatment. But think of what you are going to leave by this divorce! Isn't it better to be patient for another night, during which we will all watch around the nuptial chamber, with the eunuchs armed with sabers and clubs? What do you say, my son?" He replied: “Do what you please, O my father the grand-vizier! As for me, I am determined not to enter this tar room again!"
So the vizier left his son and went to find the king. And he stood before him, bowing his head. And the king asked him, "What have you to say to me?" He replied: "By the life of our master, what Princess Badrou'l-Budour has said is very true! But it's not my son's fault! In any case, O great king, the princess must not remain exposed to new troubles because of my son. And, if you allow it, it is better if the two spouses now live separated by divorce!" And the king said: “By Allah! You're right. But if my daughter's husband were not your son, it would have been by death that I would have delivered my daughter from him! Let them be divorced!" And immediately the sultan gave the necessary orders to put an end to the public rejoicings, in the palace as in the city and throughout the whole kingdom of China; and he proclaimed the divorce of his daughter Badrou'l-Boudour from the son of the grand-vizier, making it clear that nothing had been consummated, and that the pearl remained virgin and imperforated.
— At this point in her narration, Scheherazade saw the morning appear and quietly fell silent.

It looks like Aladdin was able to get what he wishes for... the divorce of the newlywed's Princess Badrou'l-Budour and the Grand-Vizier's son. That seems too easy for Aladdin which I doubt because we are talking about the daughter and the son of the two most powerful men in the kingdom. I'm not really sure but something tells me that the Sultan and Grand-Vizier won't give up that easily.
Will they succumb to what Aladdin wants?
I don't think so; knowing how the Sultan and Grand-Vizier swindled Aladdin and his mother some time ago. When the Sultan promised Aladdin's mother the hand of the Princess to acquire the precious gems as dowry; but then broke his promise after receiving the gems. That I consider a red flag. At this point of the story, I don't trust the Sultan & the Grand-Vizier. I think they made the announcement about the divorce of the Princess & the Grand-Vizier's son to make Aladdin believe that he successfully get the newlyweds to divorce.
What I think is that the Sultan and the Grand-Vizier are putting up a show to make Aladdin show himself. They want to know how Aladdin has managed to bring the newlyweds into his house without the whole palace security noticing it. Of course, they fear Aladdin at this point because he could have done it to anyone. So, they want to understand how he's able to do it. They want to know Aladdin's secret and they want to have it for themselves. I know for sure that the Sultan and the Grand-Vizier are not good characters in the story so... they are probably plotting something against Aladdin.
Aladdin should be careful about his next move.
I'm looking forward to the next part of the story, soon!
They don't know that it is Aladdin that did it, because Aladdin never said his name to princess Badrou'l-Budour.
This chapter is very interesting and dramatic. It answers some of the questions readers may have from previous chapters. So it was Aladdin's goal all along to have grand-vizier's son divorce or nullify the marriage so he can marry the princess. I'm happy the grand-vizier sees his error and is saddened by it. I don't blame the groom like the Sultan does, calling the poor man a moron. The genie is more powerful than he is. How could he have defended himself and the princess against such a powerful being? Also, he wasn't aware of the promise that transpired between Aladdin and the Sultan.
This chapter further touches on the parent-child relationship. The relationship between the sultan and his daughter is touching, and it is clear that he loves her deeply. Also, the grand-vizier's reaction to his son's predicament is realistic. Torn between loyalty to his son and his duty to the sultan, he picked his son which makes him likeable. I initially thought he wanted the royal marriage to happen because of his ambition to rule.
I'm enjoying this story. Sheherazade is a masterful storyteller, she knows how to captivate her listeners with her words. 😊😊
After reading today's story, many things have come to clear. Aladdin used to pick up the princess and the minister's son every day because of which they were both very scared and I can't believe that the minister's son took the princess. Divorced so quickly. Allah Din used to wake them both up at night because he wanted no one else to spend time with the princess except him because he loved the princess immensely and when a person loves someone like that If he does, he wants that No other person was seen by the princess.
As far as I am concerned the princess will also start liking Aladdin because Aladdin raised her from there but did not do anything bad to her. When the news of divorce spread everywhere, this news was also known to Aladdin and his mother, then both of them would be very happy because his mother knew that Aladdin could not live without him.
What will happen in the coming days, how will Aladdin talk to sultan. The sultan was wondering how a boy who could not protect his daughter could live with her for the rest of his life because the minister's son was too timid and too afraid of the way he had been treated had gone. Tomorrow will be a lot of fun in the story, now let's see how Aladdin will make his place in the heart of the princess.
What a great turning point we have in today's episode, I have never thought of It, I'm really amazed and confused by the situation, How any one could divorce her wife ?
A Wife who is so much beautiful and a daughter for a Sultan, It shows that this marriage between Sultan Daughter and Vezier son was just a compromise, Vezier Son was never in love with the Sultan Daughter,
May be this is what Aladdin wanted to achieve from the last two meetings with the princess and his so called Husband, and he got successful in it. Now as the divorce has been announced and the news will reach to the Aladdin and his mother. they both will be very happy with the news
The best thing that the princess is still virgin, That's what Aladdin wanted all the time, that's why he remained Close to the princess both these nights.
But Here Vezier haven't shared his idea of looking at the night to the princess room by hiding themselves. It's really a hard thing to tell the sultan, that Sultan will never allow anyone to see in the room of her daughter.
Here my question is , Should Aladdin kidnapped the princess for the 3rd night ? What will happen ? I don't think so there will be a positive impact on the princess as princess is terrified and going to dead due to the fear and anxiety she is getting through these kidnaps.
The truth revealed itself even if it was shameful for the grand vizier's son as for princess Badrou'l-Budour. It was quite unexpected that they got divorced considering that I foresee the grand vizier being a shady character that would want power more than anything. But it seems that he saw no escape from this situation, and told also the truth to the king who proclaimed the act. Now the interesting part will take place to see if they will discover whether Aladdin was behind it all or not.
It seems that Aladdin obtained what he wanted, but the question is how he will manage to get Sultan's daughter hand in the end. As he was forbidden her hand in first place, what will it determine to get it now, even after the divorce of the princes from the vizier's son. The plot is still cooking and I don't know what and how will happen.
Happiness is the only measure of life and the ultimate goal of all goals.
Happiness is not about the amount of wealth, but the freedom of body and mind, the freedom of wealth, and the freedom of the mind. The premise of happiness is that the body must be healthy, the mind must have no shadows, and the mind must have no obstacles.
The king and prime minister finally understood their children. Since they were terrified of the marriage, they fulfilled both of them and agreed to their divorce. Parents love their children deeply, and they will give up interests for their children's happiness
At last it seems that Aladdin with his tricks has achieved his goal and has separated the daughter of the sultan from the son of the vizier.
What else will Aladdin have prepared for us this time to make the princess who doesn't even know him fall exhausted at her feet?
And the goals that Aladdin set are all reached: the princess is no longer married to the vizier's son and she is still a virgin
Yes. Aladdin's goal was achieved, and he was extremely happy. But how to restore the princess's fearful mood, the princess is pitiful. When will her fears be cured
"At last, Aladdin succeeded in what he wanted to do"
Until yesterday, we did not understand why Aladdin was doing all this but today when she got divorced from the minister's son, then we understood that Aladdin had a great trick behind it. An example is often told with us that even,
"The snake should die and the stick should not break."
Aladdin has done something similar with great cleverness and it has worked and no one has any doubts about it yet. But as far as the minister's son is concerned, what was his fault that all this happened to him?
I also give the answer myself. The answer is that the minister married his son to the princess with the intention that he would become the father-in-law of the princess and then this thing would benefit the minister a lot and the minister's son also knew this, unspoken.
But he was very mean to the princess, what is worse for any girl is that after her marriage she gets into so much trouble and gets divorced on the second day of her marriage.
But now it is hoped that going forward Aladdinn will make the princess so happy that she will forget everything that happened to her. But for this it is necessary that the Sultan first arranges the marriage of his daughter with Aladdinn.
Now let's see what happens next.......
