The Lisp reader does not see the text properties of the text it reads. 
Unless you use the special "#(...)" construct, in which text properties 
are explicitly specified, and case you'll get them.  E.g. you can eval the 
following

(text-properties-at 0 #("Hello" 0 4 (face bold)))

to get what you want.
