Why can eunuchs and palace maids eat at each other's throats?

There were many eunuchs and maids in the palace, and they comforted each other because of their loneliness. They fell in love privately, which meant that they could not share the same bed, but they only ate together to comfort each other.

Eating is a way of emotional communication between palace ladies and eunuchs. We can understand it as their love behavior. Like the palace ladies, eunuchs also long for a relationship, although they have lost The most important thing in men, their hearts, became deformed as a result, but none of this changed their desire for feelings, so when both parties needed it, they came together.

The term "eating" was first seen in the Han Dynasty. From the analysis of the title itself, it may be that eunuchs and palace ladies eat together, and it does not mean sleeping together. By the Ming Dynasty, it was quite common for eunuchs and palace maids to become partners because of mutual comfort. Even if a palace maid had been in the palace for a long time without having sex with the eunuch, he would be teased by his companions as "abandoned". Once the eunuch and the palace maid are in love, there will be enthusiastic and willing matchmakers to match them. Most of the reasons are actually that the low-level eunuchs in the palace are unable to marry wives and concubines, and the maids rarely have the opportunity to be favored by the emperor, so the eunuchs and maids have only themselves to seek comfort.
