Yes, he did. In 'Pulp Fiction', Bruce Willis's character had a distinct style that included wearing jeans which contributed to the overall gritty and cool aesthetic of the movie.
First of all, I think that the Second Prince is doing this to pretend to be a casual and carefree person who has no desire for power so as to lower the vigilance of others and help him compete for the throne. The Second Prince had once said to Fan Xian," If a prince is not extravagant and licentious, what kind of prince is he?" This included the few times they had met. He had not worn shoes and sat casually in the pavilions on the streets. He looked very harmless, as if he really was a prince without any ambition.
Secondly, because the Qing Emperor's appearances were also not bothered by trifles and his clothes were messy, could it be speculated that the Second Prince was imitating the Qing Emperor to a certain extent? After all, as a son, it was entirely possible for him to learn from his father or hope to be like his father.
Another speculation, combined with the original work, was that perhaps the Second Prince was silently rebelling against the feudal system and imperial power. As a prince, he was forced by the Qing Emperor to fight for the throne with the Crown Prince. The rules of the royal family were very strict. Facing his father and the imperial power, he had no way to resist. He could only use these small matters to vent his dissatisfaction and obtain a short period of relaxation.
In short, I feel that this shoeless person must be a certain embodiment of his personality!
I don't have that specific information. But it could have been something trendy and stylish that fit the character's look in the film. Maybe it was a pair of classic pumps or unique boots.
Well, Mia Wallace in 'Pulp Fiction' wears these really cool shoes. They are black, and they give her a very sophisticated and alluring appearance. The shoes seem to be a simple yet elegant style of pumps. They go well with her overall look, which is a blend of charm and mystery. They are also an important part of her character's style that adds to the movie's overall aesthetic.
The Second Prince did not like to wear shoes during the Qing years, perhaps because he had an unrestrained and unrestrained personality. He liked to show his personality and did not like to be bound by rules. Sometimes, he didn't really wear slippers. He just didn't like to wear formal shoes, so he just dragged them along. This kind of behavior might be a manifestation of his pursuit of a free lifestyle. In addition, some netizens thought that he might have been influenced by the emperor because the emperor's style of dressing in the drama was very casual. However, the specific reason was not explicitly mentioned in the search results provided.
