There is a new trend in palaces in the Ming Dynasty. Why are maids and eunuchs inferior without partners?

In the feudal society of China for thousands of years, there have been many unreasonable historical phenomena, and the palace maid system once deprived many young women of their freedom and rights. They stay in the palace all the year round. As servants, they can't control their own destiny. After a long time, most of them were not lucky enough to be loved by the emperor as in TV dramas. Loneliness for a long time is bound to be lonely, so they turned their eyes from the emperor to the eunuch.

Slowly, the phenomenon of the combination of maid-in-waiting and eunuch appeared. It is also recorded in history that maid-in-waiting married eunuch Wang Zhi, which is nothing unusual. People who like to watch court dramas can more or less see the story of ladies-in-waiting and eunuchs working together as hot pot in TV dramas, and for them, there is a corresponding name called? The right food? . During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, although Wang Zhi, a factory eunuch, had been dead for many years, there were still many court eunuchs and eunuchs to live, so they took care of each other and supported each other.

That's it? The right food? This phenomenon is becoming more and more common. When it comes to matching maids, it has become a fashion trend. If maids or eunuchs can't find a partner, they will be laughed at and looked down upon by their peers. At first, it was the same as when people first fell in love. At that time, I didn't know whether it was the ladies-in-waiting or the eunuchs who found the object and dared not make it public. They are furtive and afraid of being discovered. Sometimes I run into acquaintances and feel embarrassed.

With the development of time, this situation has become very common in Wanli period. Just like normal couples outside the palace, they often go together and live together. With the development of culture and the opening of their minds, they look for partners in private and gradually develop into marriage. Like normal people, they live a normal life, warm and romantic. At that time, some eunuchs were even willing to spend more money to buy things for their beloved maids in order to win women's hearts.
