Rashi, on Esth 2:9

“And she pleased him, and found favour in his sight. And he commanded the eunuch to hasten the women’s ornaments, and to deliver to her her part, and seven of the most beautiful maidens of the king’s house, and to adorn and deck out both her and her waiting maids.”

“and he hastened her ointments He was more diligent and quicker with bringing her [ointments] than those of all of them. fitting to give to her to serve her, and so they would do for all of them; and our Sages explained what they explained.”
