Rate is not working for XiaoxiaoMultilingualNeural

[jackfengji]

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
