Rashi, on Esth 2:18

“And he commanded a magnificent feast to be prepared for all the princes, and for his servants, for the marriage and wedding of Esther. And he gave rest to all the provinces, and bestowed gifts according to princely magnificence.”

“and he granted a release In her honor, he released them from the tax that was [levied] upon them. and gave gifts He sent them gifts, and everything was in order to entice her, perhaps she would tell her nationality. But nevertheless—Esther would not tell.”
