The palace maid was holding a white porcelain plate. Her fingers were not as fair and slender as the other maids, but they were slightly dark. There were also calluses clearly visible on her fingers.
Palace maids who served dishes to the Emperor were not required to do labor work. As they were constantly in the Emperor's presence, they had to make sure to maintain their looks carefully. In comparison, the palace maid in front of her looked quite unlike what one would expect of a palace maid.
Moreover, the calluses on her fingers seemed familiar to Yaoyao.
She was quickly reminded of where she had seen them before.
Royal Brother and Ji'er had them on their fingers too.
It was because they had learned sword skills since they were young and their fingers had developed calluses from holding onto the hilt of the swords for long hours.
