Rate is not working for XiaoxiaoMultilingualNeural

Describe the bug
The rate in prosody is not changing the real speaking rate for XiaoxiaoMultilingualNeural voice. It's not working in voice gallery web ui either.
This is the SSML I'm using. It's still very slow.

Hi @jackfengji thanks for your feedback!
I tried the SSML you provided, it works and speaks very fast compared with the default rate, would you mind checking that again, I have attached audio FYI
with rate.zip
@LinZhang-Support I found it's not working for eastasia region, I tried and us region and it's working.
Here're the exporeted files from voicegallery from eastasia and us region.
Also when I'm trying to use a absolute number for rate, it's not working at all. But it's working for other voices.
