Aladdin and the Magic Lamp
Source
Now that Aladdin has built a new palace for his bride, it is time for Princess Badrou'l-Boudour to move to the new palace and meet her new husband. And this is done with a magnificent procession, admired by the people of the city.
The princess, Aladdin, and his mother spend a very enjoyable day in the new palace.
It is not specified in the story where Aladdin's mother will live now, but I think she will have some quarters in the new palace.
ON THE TWENTY-NINTH NIGHT
Sheherazade said:
As for Aladdin, once transported to his old house by the genie of the lamp, he told one of the twelve teenage slave girls to go and wake up his mother and ordered them all to dress her in one of the beautiful dresses they had brought, and to adorn her as best they could. And when his mother was dressed as he wished, he told her that the time had come to go to the sultan's palace to take the new bride and lead her to the palace he had built for her. And Aladdin's mother, having received all the necessary instructions on the subject, left her house, accompanied by her twelve slaves, and was soon followed by Aladdin on horseback in the midst of his own slaves. But, having arrived at a certain distance from the palace, they separated to go, Aladdin to his new palace, and his mother to the sultan's one.
Now, as soon as the sultan's guards had seen Aladdin's mother, in the midst of the twelve young girls who accompanied him, they ran to warn the sultan, who hastened to meet her. And he received her with the marks of respect and consideration due to her new rank. And he gave the order to the chief of the eunuchs to introduce her into the harem, near Sett Badrou'l-Boudour. And as soon as the princess saw her and learned that she was the mother of her husband Aladdin, she got up in his honor and went to kiss her. Then she made her sit beside her, and regaled her with various jams and delicacies, and finished being dressed by her servants and adorned with the most precious jewels which her husband Aladdin had given her. And shortly afterward the Sultan entered, and for the first time he was able, thanks to the new relationship, to see the face of Aladdin's mother uncovered. And he noticed, by the delicacy of her features, that she must have been very comely in her youth, and that now, dressed as she was in a beautiful dress and arranged to her advantage, she looked grander than many princesses and wives of viziers and emirs. And he paid her many compliments on this subject, which deeply touched and moved the heart of the poor wife of the late tailor Mustapha, so long unhappy, and filled her eyes with tears.
After which, the three of them began to talk cordially, thus getting to know each other better, until the arrival of the sultana, the mother of Badrou'l-Boudour. Now, the old sultana was far from looking favorably upon this marriage of her daughter to the son of strangers; and she was on the side of the grand-vizier, who continued, in secret, to be very mortified at the good turn the whole affair was taking to his detriment. However, she dared not, in spite of her wish, put on too bad a face for Aladdin's mother; and, after the salams on both sides, she sat down with the others, without, however, taking an interest in the conversation.
However, when the moment came to say goodbye for the departure to the new palace, Princess Badrou'l-Boudour got up and kissed her father and mother with great tenderness, mingling her kisses with many tears, for the occasion. Then, supported by Aladdin's mother, who stood on her left, preceded by ten eunuchs dressed in their ceremonial robes, and followed by a hundred young slave girls dressed with the magnificence of dragonflies, she started walking towards the new palace, in the middle of two rows of four hundred young slaves, white and black alternately, ranged between the two palaces, and each holding a golden torch in which burned a large candle of amber and white camphor. And, slowly, the princess advanced in the middle of this procession, crossing the velvet carpet, while, on her way, an admirable concert of instruments was heard, as well in the paths of the garden as on the top from the terraces of Aladdin's palace. And, in the distance, the acclamations resounded, pushed by all the people running around the two palaces, and mingling their rumor of joy with all this glory. And the princess finally arrives at the entrance of the new palace, where Aladdin was waiting for her. And he came smiling to meet her, and she was charmed to see him so handsome and brilliant. And she went with him into the hall of the feast, under the great dome with its jeweled windows. And the three of them sat down before the golden trays served by the care of the genie of the lamp; and Aladdin sat in the middle, between his wife on the right and his mother on the left. And they began their meal, to the sound of music which could not be seen, and which was played by a choir of genies of both sexes. And Badrou'l-Boudour, enchanted by everything she saw and heard, said to herself: "In my life, I have never imagined such marvelous things!" And she even stopped eating, the better to listen to the songs and the concert of the genies. And Aladdin and his mother kept serving her and pouring her drinks, which she could do without, she was already drunk with wonder. And it was for them a splendid day, which had not had its equal in the times of Alexander the Great and Solomon...
— At this point in her narration, Scheherazade saw the morning appear and quietly fell silent.

Aladdin's mother kept serving the princess and pouring her wine. Will this harmonious scene continue to appear in the future?
In traditional Chinese culture, the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is often very complex and sensitive. The mother-in-law is the elder in the family with a higher status and authority, while the daughter-in-law is a new member who needs to follow the mother-in-law's opinions and rules. Due to the different growth environments and values of the two generations, conflicts, disagreements, and arguments often occur between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
A good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is built on mutual respect, understanding, and trust. The mother-in-law should respect the daughter-in-law's personal rights and lifestyle and not interfere in her personal affairs. The daughter-in-law should also respect the opinions and habits of the mother-in-law and not make her feel neglected or unimportant.
At the same time, a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship also requires good communication and mutual understanding between the two parties. The mother-in-law can learn more about the daughter-in-law's life and preferences and communicate more with her. The daughter-in-law can also learn more about the mother-in-law's life and habits and care more about her physical and emotional well-being.
Overall, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is a relationship that requires both parties to work together to maintain and manage. Through mutual respect, understanding, and trust, a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship can be established, promoting family harmony and stability.
Reading today's story, it felt like there was happiness everywhere, from the slaves to the king, from the concubines to the eunuchs, everyone was happy, everyone was swaying with joy. There is nothing bad in today's story, everything is good, because marriage is a happy occasion, in the house where marriage takes place, there is only happiness in the house.
The princess is very lucky to have married in such a good people, to have such a loving husband, and her mother-in-law is also very caring, because every girl wants to get married in a rich and good family and the princess got it all. No doubt the way Aladdin welcomed the princess was very wonderful.
And the best part of today's story was where Aladdin's mother had tears of joy in her eyes. What could be a happier occasion for any mother than when her son gets married at a young age? And he would have become so lucky that he would be marrying the Sultan's daughter and his palace would also be right in front of the king's palace and he would do whatever he wanted.
Now let me apologize a little for what I see going on in this story and you may disagree with this, this is my personal opinion, It seems to me that as it is said that the Sultan's wife was unhappy with the marriage and wanted her daughter to be married to the minister's son, now there can be two groups, in one group, Sultan and his daughter, Aladdin and mother of Aladdin, and in second group, Sultan's wife and minister.
I wish I'm wrong because if it happens like I'm saying it will increase the chances of the marriage breaking up again.
Isn't she lovely? No wonder Aladdin is totally in love with her. (Once again, many thanks for featuring my ai artwork on your blog, it means a lot to me).
About this part of the story; I found out an important detail... the Sultana is not in favor of the marriage of the Princess with Aladdin. I don't know if it was mentioned in other parts of the story, but for me, I only found out about it in the 29th part. It seems that she was persuaded by the Grand Vizier to side with him against Aladdin, maybe it will be more clear in the next parts of the story.
For now, let's cherish the moment when the Princess is on her way to the new palace. The custom in the old days was really amazing, their tradition was really grand when it comes to marriage. It is different from the process of marriage in modern times. It seems that marriage was very solemn in the old days and very detailed. It's not like in modern times where people seem to be in a hurry and marriage is done in a few hours. The essence of marriage is being lost in these modern times. Although this happened to Aladdin, it seems to have been rushed, but he still made a way to make his new wife's procession look grand.
I remembered that the Sultan offered him that he could visit the Princess in the nuptial chamber after he signed the marriage document but Aladdin refused and said that he would first build a beautiful palace worthy of the Princess. Aladdin was really a gentleman in this situation.
When I was reading the description of the procession, I couldn't stop myself from being amazed at what I was reading. There are also many slaves of the Princess that's why I can imagine how grand this procession will be. Apparently, the scale of the procession is worthy for the whole kingdom to witness.
When the Princess entered the palace, she was amazed. Who wouldn't be amazed at the appearance of the palace built by Aladdin... and there's even a golden tree! The interior of the palace is truly amazing. The fun part is that it has a choir of genies, so the experience is like being inside a cathedral eating delicious food. OMG, it sounds like Aladdin gave the Princess an experience of a lifetime.
Oh there, is it a happy ending already? I don't think so, I think Aladdin will have more magical adventures for the Princess. They have many more happy moments to come. And that is what we will look forward to in the next chapters of this story.
Can't wait!
That is the first time it is mentioned.
I see, thanks for the feedback :)
The princess in this picture is smiling happily, like a brilliant flower.
When she saw the handsome Aladdin, she was captivated. It can be seen from this that women are also members of the looks association. During the meal, the princess heard music that she found beautiful. Perhaps women like a sense of ceremony. Things that have a sense of ceremony often give people a special feeling, making them feel unique and important. For example, women may like to wear beautiful clothes on special occasions, which can make them feel more confident and beautiful. Women may also enjoy food and drinks in romantic settings, as it can enhance the romantic atmosphere and feeling.
Thank you for sharing another chapter that transports me to a world of wonder and magic. It's the union of the two families, Sultan's and Aladdin's. It's fascinating to see how Aladdin's mother, who was once a poor woman, is now treated with respect and consideration due to her new rank as the mother of the prince's wife.
I think Aladdin has gained another enemy (so to say) in the palace - the Sultana. I wish Sheherazade had given her a voice long before now so readers can know more about her. But I understand that in traditional times, the final say in marriage decision lies with the man of the household. Now we know the Sultana too doubts Aladdin just like the grand-vizier. And she listens to the grand-vizier! Aladdin will have to watch out and be careful around her.
I love the way in which the princess meets and greets her mother-in-law. The way they bond over food and conversation is heartwarming, despite the tensions between the grand-vizier and the sultana.
The description of the procession from the old palace to the new one is truly magnificent, with the princess being escorted by a large number of people and an exquisite concert of instruments. It's no wonder that Badrou'l-Boudour is so enchanted by everything she sees and hears. The image of the new family sitting down to eat under the great dome with its jeweled windows is lovely! I'm eager to know what happens next in Aladdin's story! Thanks for sharing. 😊😊
Everything is in favor of Aladdin and his mother, they are having the best days of their life, everything is going smoothly, But I have a gut feeling that this peace will break at some point.
May be Darvish will return or may be Vizier will do something bad, We don't know yet, back to the Story, I love the way sultan respected the mother of Aladdin who came to take Aladdin's wife with her to the New palace which Aladdin built her princess and mother.
Sultan did what was necessary in the respect of Aladdin mother and allow her to meet the Women of haram, which is usually is rare, no one from outside could meet the women in the haram.
though they all were meeting Aladdin's mother with smile on their face, but I think there will be sense of jealousy for sure, it is common in women. How a poor women and wife of a tailor can reach to the position where they were.
I like the way princess greeted her mother in law by kissing her hand and showed the respect. Every mother deserves respect like this.
New palace was waiting for the princess and finally Aladdin's wish Came true and he Makes the princess his wife. there is nothing much left in the story in my point of view. But we will see.
Oh yes, there is! 14 nights more!
The most joy after reading today's story is that the princess has seen the palace that Aladdin has built just for her. Here in Pakistan too, when new relationships are formed, they are given a lot of respect, as we see Aladdin's mother being given a lot of respect in the Sultan's house. And the way we see that when Allah Din's mother met her future daughter-in-law, she also kissed her hand and gave her a lot of respect.
Stay because when new relationships are formed, a lot of respect is given to them as time passes When some time passes, fights start in the house and we have seen that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship does not work at all, due to which the man who happens to face many problems to meet his mother. Support or his wife this time causes a lot of trouble for him.
The customs of China and Pakistan are almost exactly the same. Even here, when the relationship is established, the boy's mother goes and gives things to the girl's house. There is also a custom here that whenever boys go to a girl's house, they must take something with them and when they go for the first time after a relationship, they take clothes for all the people in their house go.
The way I said in my comment a few days ago that the minister will never sit quietly and the way we have seen today he is doing his job and provoking everyone wherever he gets a chance. As we have seen, the sultan's wife did not treat Aladdin's mother well at all. Because she did not want her daughter's relationship with Aladdin at all, she wanted her daughter to stay with the minister's son. This time of departure is a very emotional time and almost everyone standing there has tears in their eyes because the girl has to leave her home for the rest of her life. Every girl has to come.
Here in Pakistan too, when there is a wedding ceremony, in the same way, many people pick up plates and decorate them and bring them, mostly girls do this. The way I was that day Aladdin is getting all the things that no ordinary person can do and in the same way when the princess comes to her house she is very spoiled and seeing everything. The story has become very interesting now it is to be seen whether Aladdin mother and his wife will be made or not.
Aladdin already has his palace and rejoices in it. He invites the princess to see her new home and showers her with all kinds of gifts. He is surprised that the princess does not remember him despite having slept next to her for two nights. That if with a sharp sword separating them. He also does not remember the fear that happened and the horror of those moments. It seems that she is all forgotten and only the accumulation of wealth is enough for her to be intoxicated with happiness.
Well, during these two nights when Aladdin laid down near the princess, it was dark and the princess was very upset. So, it is not really surprising that she does not remember Aladdin. Only by his voice, she could have had some suspicion.
I imagine the emotion of Alladin's mother to see how her son's dreams are coming true, every mother always wants the best for her son.
A good relationship between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law is always good, where respect should be, how not to love the mother of her future husband, because without her mother Alladin would not be there.
Every mother is a blessing, that is why she owes the love and respect they deserve, I know that the princess and Alladin's mother will get along well.
Alladin is very much in love with the princess, when a man is like this, he does everything for love, he lowers heaven and star for his beloved, so that she can enjoy the beauty of life.
I continue each time in love with this beautiful story, which I still do not want the end to come...
The time has come for Aladdin to meet her new wife, princess Badrou'l-Boudour. While this happened at the new palace, it seems the princess didn't recognize him (for now) from when he had her flying with the bed and the grand vizier's son to his old house. Will that last or will Aladdin come clean at some point, this is the question that I ask myself together with how the princess will react and if he will accept this reality or not.
How lucky Princess of that time was... building new palace for bride couldn't get more better way than starting a new life.
But well, it's Aladdin Life so there's something always waiting for him...
This thing still exist and it's Great way to show respect.
First Impressions really matters a lot and especially when you're someone like princess and visiting king palace there's no place to leave bad impression... And seems like she did it so nicely and their relationship with each other, Aladin mother going to be something so fun.
Looking forward to see how it will Go or who will do something Villain thing to ruin it.

In the 29th Night out of 42 nights, the story continues to unfold and have Aladdin and the princess meet for the "first" time. Things are going according to plan, the young Aladdin and princess seem to be in a story within a story by all the wonders and magic around them, let's see if this will last.
