She was charmed at the sight of Aladdin , who ran to receive her . `` Princess , '' he said , `` blame your beauty for my boldness if I have displeased you . '' She told him that , having seen him , she willingly obeyed her father in this matter . After the wedding had taken place Aladdin led her into the hall , where a feast was spread , and she supped with him , after which they danced till midnight . Next day Aladdin invited the Sultan to see the palace . On entering the hall with the four-and-twenty windows , with their rubies , diamonds , and emeralds , he cried : `` It is a world 's wonder ! There is only one thing that surprises me . Was it by accident that one window was left unfinished ? '' `` No , sir , by design , '' returned Aladdin . `` I wished your Majesty to have the glory of finishing this palace . '' The Sultan was pleased , and sent for the best jewelers in the city . He showed them the unfinished window , and bade them fit it up like the others . `` Sir , '' replied their spokesman , `` we can not find jewels enough . '' The Sultan had his own fetched , which they soon used , but to no purpose , for in a month 's time the work was not half done . Aladdin , knowing that their task was vain , bade them undo their work and carry the jewels back , and the genie finished the window at his command . The Sultan was surprised to receive his jewels again , and visited Aladdin , who showed him the window finished . The Sultan embraced him , the envious Vizier meanwhile hinting that it was the work of enchantment . Aladdin had won the hearts of the people by his gentle bearing . He was made captain of the Sultan 's armies , and won several battles for him , but remained modest and courteous as before , and lived thus in peace and content for several years . But far away in Africa the magician remembered Aladdin , and by his magic arts discovered that Aladdin , instead of perishing miserably in the cave , had escaped , and had married a princess , with whom he was living in great honor and wealth .
He knew that the poor tailor 's son could only have accomplished this by means of the lamp , and traveled night and day until he reached the capital of China , bent on XXXXX 's ruin .
