Because Zhao Gao was not a real eunuch, the eunuch mentioned at that time was just a knowing word, not a castrated person, so it was natural to have a daughter. In ancient times, everyone misunderstood the word eunuch, thinking that eunuch was castrated, but it was not. This statement has been popular for thousands of years, but it is absolutely wrong, but everyone doesn't know much about this history.

Sima Qian's record is correct. The problem is that some later writers began to distort the meaning of the word hidden palace, hoping that literature could give meaning. In fact, the hidden palace does not refer to castrated people. In fact, the hidden palace refers to a special place in the palace, and its significance is similar to that of our current labor camp, and it has nothing to do with castration and eunuchs.

There is such a record in the history books. When Qin Shihuang built Epang Palace, more than 700,000 people took part in the construction of the Hidden Palace. If the hidden palace is a eunuch, what a spectacular scene and unrealistic. We all know that castrated people are not as strong as men, so the hidden palace is definitely not a eunuch.

But in history, Zhao Gao was also called a eunuch. In fact, the word eunuch is just a knowing word, which can be seen from the structure of the word, with the hijab above and the minister below. In other words, he is a slave, just a slave in the palace. Therefore, eunuchs in the Qin Dynasty are not the same as eunuchs after the Qin Dynasty. They are just a title, but later generations really refer to eunuchs.

Eunuchs were called eunuchs only at the end of Han Dynasty. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs were referred to as eunuchs. At most, Zhao Gao is an official in the DPRK. Besides, it is normal for Zhao Gao to have a daughter.
