Li Xingmao and Chai Eying walked together, receiving numerous congratulations along the way.
The couple entered the main house, first offering tea to the matchmaker and the village chief, then to Prince Luling and his wife.
Prince Luling handed each of them a red envelope, smiling as he said, "Good, good, in the future, live well together, I am pleased to see this."
The red envelopes, about the size of a palm, contained something bulging inside, the content unknown.
Princess Consort Luling also gave each of them a red envelope, smiling as she said, "I hope you respect and love each other and live harmoniously for a lifetime."
The red envelopes were of the same size and contained an object within.
