Why did the emperor serve with eunuchs instead of beautiful maids?

In many TV dramas or history books, we often see that the emperor often has a personal eunuch to serve him, and also serves some daily life of the emperor at ordinary times, so I have the same question as you. Why do emperors basically use eunuchs to serve, and why not use beautiful maids? But in the end, I connected. The reason why the emperor did this is reasonable.

Of course, this is only my personal understanding and has no historical basis. I just make my own guess based on some behaviors. First of all, why use eunuchs to serve, because the emperor needs to go to court to listen to politics. You can think about what it's like for a maid-in-waiting to stand above the imperial court. Is there such royal majesty? There is absolutely no such thing. Even if some emperors are young and need their mothers to listen to politics, they need to be separated by curtains. This is the so-called: hanging curtains and listening to politics. That's it, the empress dowager has to be separated by the curtain, let alone let a maid-in-waiting face the ministers above the court. Secondly, many people in daily life don't understand. Since the court is not good, what about after the court? In fact, I also think that there should be eunuchs in the harem, because the emperors in the harem are not idle and have to read books in various places. The monuments of ministers need to be repaired. You can think about it. When you work, there are always several women around you. Do you still have the heart to work hard Don't call yourself a beautiful maid-in-waiting.

Therefore, I think that emperors often used eunuchs to serve themselves in history, and it is correct to make good use of beautiful ladies-in-waiting, otherwise it will lead to the rapid decline of a dynasty.
