Everyone has blue blood. That is the color of the blood in the veins of the circulatory system. The blood in the arteries is red.
In medieval times, nobles and royalty were outside much less often than were the common folk. As a result their skins were generally much paler than common folk and it was easier to see their veins, which run nearer to the surface than do most arteries. As a result, it seemed as if only the nobility had blue blood. In the commoners the veins were hard to see under their tanned and weathered skin.
As a result, saying that someone has blue blood is a figure of speech indicating that they are of the nobility or are descended from nobles.
