In fact, they can live outside the palace when they are not working. Many people want to ask someone to find the emperor to do business. So they found the eunuch. The eunuchs will also get a lot of oil and water from them. These eunuchs will also have private houses. They will also find some beautiful young women to serve them. Although they can only take care of life, they also taste the fun of being normal men. . Compared to the emperor&#8217;s harem belle 3000, it can be considered comparable.<br \/>\nThe wives of these eunuchs usually give a large sum of money to the wife&#8217;s parents. In addition to teaching their wives to take care of their own food and daily life, they also let their wives play ditty songs. They also know that these women are here for the money and don&#8217;t like them. Then a rule was set, requiring his wife to stay with them until they were born, old, sick, and died, and could only marry someone else after he died. At that time, the woman didn&#8217;t dare to offend the powerful eunuch, so she had to spend her whole life to take care of the husband who didn&#8217;t like it very much. They have to endure loneliness. After all, eunuchs cannot give them the life they want like other men. Most of these women are daughters of poor families, but they can only endure such a life for their livelihood.<\/p>\n<div class=\"37c28470d9d6d3cb9ff74e663adb766a\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3594734025006597\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EunuchIn ancient China, eunuchs were a special group of people.
