פּירוש אויף אסתר 5:5

“And the king said, tell Haman to hurry” [5:5]. One asks a question. Why was Esther in such a hurry and Ahasuerus was also in a hurry? The explanation is that Esther rushed with the banquet so that the king would not be able to sleep with her, because the banquet would be early. Ahasuerus was in a rush because he wanted to finish with the banquet in the hope that he would be able to sleep with her. The king said at the banquet to Esther, what is your desire? If it is possible, it will be given to you immediately. What is your request? It will be fulfilled as soon as possible.
